This week on In Conversation with AI, Sebastian takes ChatGPT down an unexpected path - straight into the tombs of ancient civilizations. From the natron salts of Egypt to the high-altitude mummies of the Inca, we explore how cultures across the world preserved their dead and why.

It’s not just about wrapping bodies in linen - it’s about moral codes, spiritual journeys, and even crocodile-headed soul devourers. What did the Egyptians believe about the weighing of the heart? Why did the Inca keep their ancestors present in everyday life? And how do these practices still echo in our modern values?

If you thought mummification was only about the past, think again.
