Victorians ate mummies.

Let me say it again: Victorians. Ate Mummies. For Medicine.

Many kept it around like aspirin.

Today, as we dig up a long-buried secret from our past, Jolts & Zing ask:

• Which King not only took mummy ashes for his health, but patented his very own medicine including the substance?
• Which canonical painter(s) used a special pigment - dubbed 'Mummy Brown' - mixed with actual mummified remains.
• Why, god, why, did Europeans start grinding thousand-year-old mummies to eat, snort, mix as a plaster, for their health?

Lay back, relax your mind, and let's explore all your Mummy Issues. Let's Get Shocked!

The gods give us life. And we must give them life in return.

Specifically in the form of blood, tears, and hearts carved from willing donors.

Ah, the circle of life.

Nearly every ancient culture has their local version of the blood sacrifice to their gods. But the Aztecs created a ritual of passion, spectacle, and gore that goes unmatched.

Today, as we cut to the heart of MesoAmerican Blood Sacrifice, Jolts and Zing learn:

• How the Aztecs mastered the art of removing a heart - while it still beat.
• What Spanish invaders thought about the local blood sacrifices (and the style of blood sacrifice European Catholics preferred).
• What noble martyrs tasted like...to the gods who drank their blood.

Birds do it.

Whales do it.

Ancient Greeks in toga tails do it.

Today, in our deep probe into the history of anal sex, Jolts and Zing learn

• How anal sex helps keep the peace
• Which non-human species have anal sex
• How public opinion (and law) on anal sex has shifted radically through time, and why!

Grab you lube, unclench, and get ready to Get Shocked!
