Did You Know? Europeans Used To Set Up Landlines For Dead People
Papa John’s? ☎️ I would like a large pepperoni double cheese please.
Let’s just say the doctors in Europe back in the days weren’t so great. Due to a lack of knowledge and little medical advancements, a bunch of silly mistakes was made. The worst? Sometimes people were buried while in a coma, or even during sleep. ⚰️
The story doesn’t just end here. These sad victims eventually wake up in coffins. Yup, they were making mummies and they had no idea. 🧟 They accidentally continued a thousand-year-old tradition.
You know the drill. Mummies really need some fresh air. So after a while, people tried to open those coffins and check it out. Surprise, surprise. Bodies were found struggling before actual death, clothes smudged with blood everywhere. It was ugly.
This horror movie scene partially gave birth to the idea of vampires. 🧛 Witnessing people trying to escape death and just struggling was scary. It freaked people out.
And so they tried to fix it. Some geniuses suggested setting up emergency alarms in there. PULL HANDLE IF ALIVE. 🕹️ You get it.
It actually worked for some cases. They were able to pull some lives out of the grounds. But it was still a disaster overall. In bad cases, bodies would decay and just misfire the alarms. Leading people to more mummy faces.
Guess what? After a while, doctors just got better at their jobs. Fewer mistakes, more lives saved. These “smart coffins” finally faded away.
We wonder how modern people would try to solve this. Mummies get hungry too, right? We’re not sure how deliveries would handle it though. 🤢
We dug deep to get you guys the design sample down here. It’s basically sketch form the 1900s that allows the coffin to send out morse codes. Could have they made things more complicated? The only message any person would need to send was probably an S.O.S. Or else, someone would want to say more than that?
