New archaeological evidence reveals smoke drying bodies as a form of mummification has existed for 12,000 years in Southeast Asia, far longer than the Egyptian Mummies (~6,300 years ago) which use resin.
By the way, the article you linked above about egyptian solar was an april fools post by a solar company, not scientific journalism. There is no papers on it in the antiquity journal, and most of the links are just jokes with no actaul sources.
Happens to the best of us.

Ah so ancient solar panels are not real then as it seems. How unfortunateβ¦
I was kind of tempted to post like how most of those sound like at best massive exaggerations of the found historical evidence by single historians who want their favourite subject to be more popular.

I suppose you should check your viewed articleβs sources before sharing it with othersβ¦
I learned about all but the solar panels from the History Channel (edit: before it got bad, that particular show now belongs to Smithsonian). There are plenty of sources on everything else. I figured the solar panels had so few because it was so newly discovered. Obviously that one was a mistake on my part, but I stand by the rest of what I listed. How many source on each of the other things I listed would you like?

Do you mean THAT history channel? The⦠dubious one?
Here is a half dozen links each about each of the rest of the things I listed. And, I admit itβs been a few years since Iβve watched it, but since when is the History Channel βdubiousβ? Nevermind, I didnβt realized they had changed so much.
Well, it USE TO have some very educational shows. I stopped watching it because it has had nothing I wanted to watch in several years. I didnβt realize it had gotten that bad in more recent years. But I STILL stand by everything I listed (except the solar panels, I admit I made a mistake with those).
Edit: It seems the show I got most of those from has change ownership to the Smithsonian, though I am certain it started on the History Channel, back before . . . wow, they really have fallen from grace havenβt they.
This and the next few links seem like not very reliable sources to me. But Cambridge and actual scientific publications with DOI numbers are good to me.
Guess I learned today that not all reporting on historical engineering marvels is overblown sensationalism.
Thatβs exactly why the History Channel is a laughingstock online. As Iβm not from America, the only reason why I know about the History Channel in the first place is that it has turned into pseudoscience and it has that ancient aliens series with famous memes about it.

Well maybe you should from this point on refer to such legitimate claims by the HC as in it before it has gone bad
Modern Marvels was a great TV show on History Channel, and so was The Universe (Space TV show which existed before Science Channel was started), and How the Earth was Made (Geological History). Crazy how in 15 or so years, History Channel has become the βAncient Aliensβ meme channel.
