There's just too many mummies! The hieroglyphs only said there'd be a few! I'm not having a good afterlife at all!

According to Wikipedia, Herodotus only mentions body-wrapping as a feature of upper-class mummification. Now this could simply be a case of him not paying too much attention to the middle and lower classes' funerary rituals, but it's not too much of a stretch to imagine them omitting a step as laborious and expensive as wrapping up a dead body in approximately 150 meters of linen.
What I'm getting at is the Pharaoh killed and mummified at least a dozen nobles and/or priests - and only just now, at least two months after the first of them was killed, does he realize the gravity of his mistake.
like when you finish moving and you only have enough energy left to find and open the box with the saucepans in it
Do not worry, the number will go down drastically once European explorers arrive and start getting hungry.
