About Here Come The Mummies:
For years, scholars of the ancient world have wondered what became of the lost nomadic tribe officially referred to as Expleticus Deletedicus.

Then, during a dig in 1922, it was discovered that: “They had rocked all the ancient empires of Earth on down to the grizound. They rocked Atlantis so hard, y’all, it ain’t never been found.”

More undead than Dick Clark, and cursed with the funk of five thousand years.
