Brennan and Booth are called to investigate what appears to be charred human remains on an electrical fence. The mysterious corpse is later determined to be a mummified Egyptian royal on loan to the Jeffersonian. The anthropological mystery has Brennan in a tizzy, and when the Jeffersonian curator prepping the mummy for exhibition is murdered, the team suspects foul play. Brennan’s investigation of the curator sheds new light on the life of the Egyptian royal, turning their case into one of historic proportions. Meanwhile, Brennan goes on a date with Booth’s supervisor and former intern, and Sweets’ girlfriend Daisy Wick returns to the Jeffersonian

Episode Notes

Brennan became interested in being an anthropologist after watching the 1932 film The Mummy starring Lon Chaney.
 
 
Episode Quotes
 
Sweets: Dr. Saroyan, I'm having some serious problems with Daisy. Can I ask your advice?
Cam: No.
Sweets: No really.
Cam: Really. I have a 16-year-old and believe me, when it comes to dating advice I am batting a red hot zero.
Sweets: But, you've been through this like, a million times yourself.
Cam: Did you just call me old?
Sweets: Is that what it felt like?
 
Hodgins: The urine of a red-headed boy.
Cam: We need so much more than that.
Hodgins: From the swab of Dr. Kaswell's eye.
Angela: A red-headed boy peed on her eye?
 
Angela: Was Booth upset?
Brennan: Yes, I don't know why.
Angela: Brennan, this could screw up the natural order of things. And Booth wishes that you were going out with him.
Brennan: I drink with him all the time. But with Andrew, there's the potential for sex.
Angela: And not with Booth?
 
Sweets: Karloff was a genius. You could feel the mummy's pain, you know?
Angela: He was dead Sweets. He felt no pain.
Sweets: Emotional pain. That never dies.
Angela: Cheery thought. Thank you.
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
Jack states that they didn't have redheads in Ancient Egypt. This is incorrect. Ramses II, considered by most to be the greatest pharaoh in Egyptian history, was a natural redhead.
 
Cam: I guess I'd be angry too if someone pulled my brain out through my nose and stuck it in a canopic jar.

Contrary to Cam's statement, the brain was often discarded by Egyptians, with only the stomach, intestines, lungs, and liver saved in canopic jars.
 
 
Cultural References
 
Cam: I guess I'd be angry too if someone pulled my brain out through my nose and stuck it in a canopic jar.

Canopic jars were used by Egyptians to store organs they believed had a use in the afterlife. However, brains were not typically kept in jars but discarded due to the belief that they had no use in the afterlife; instead, the stomach, intestines, lungs, and liver were kept in canopic jars.
