Thousands sign petition to let people DRINK red liquid found inside 2,000-year-old Egyptian sarcophagus believing it is the elixir of life while experts say it is just sewage water

Thousands sign petition to let people drink red liquid found inside sarcophagus

The 2,000-year-old Egyptian coffin was found earlier this month in Alexandria

Tongue-in-cheek petition created last week and now has over 11,000 signatures

A petition to let people drink from a red liquid found inside a 2,000-year-old Egyptian sarcophagus has received thousands of signatures.

Speculations about the large black granite sarcophagus quickly started after its opening in the coastal city of Alexandria earlier this month.

Yet Egypt's Antiquities Ministry says the liquid is neither 'juice for mummies that contains an elixir of life' nor is it red mercury but only sewage water.

It also says the find doesn't belong to any ancient rulers and the remains are undergoing restorations to reveal more.

The tongue-in-cheek petition was created last week and now has over 11,000 signatures.

Some suggest it belongs to the ancient Greek ruler, Alexander the Great.

Others warned of 'the curse' opening it would unleash. These reports were dismissed by the ministry.

The petition encouraged people that they needed to 'drink the red liquid from the cursed dark sarcophagus' in order to 'assume its powers'.

People were quick to comment, with one writing: 'We deserve the power of the Egyptian elite.'

Elixir of life. Uh, it’s inside a sarcophagus so it was a bad batch.

Sacophagus —literally “flesh eater.” Yeah, I want to drink something from there.

If it’s sewage water, he must have been very much disliked and/or he was buried alive and pooped inside.

It’s obviously the ‘elixir of life’.

You can tell by the floating decomposed bodies.

If you NOTICE, there are at least 3 skulls in the picture.

So , it was either 3 humans, or one (something) with three heads.

When they first reported this find, they stated that the sarcophagus was SEALED, which proved it had never before been opened.

IF the word SEALED is being used properly, then how did the Sewer water get in ?

That’s ok, as long as they don’t use a plastic straw...

maybe the sewer water was put in before it was sealed, then?

Riiiight. And powdered rhino horn gives ya a hard-on. Too bad there isn't enough to let them all drink, sort of a massive cleaning of the gene pool. Thanks BBell and a fool in paradise.

Not the correct Permatext Gasket Sealer for the application?
