3. “Scientists have called for Kyrgyzstan’s only mummy to be immediately dug back up after the 1,500-year-old relic was taken from a museum and hastily reburied on the eve of a presidential election in a decision celebrated by self-professed psychics.”  Link here.  And: “In 2011, lawmakers ritually slaughtered seven sheep in parliament to exorcise “evil spirits”.”  Recommended.
