This is truely awesome! I mean, did you see the date on that thing? I'm putting this on facebook!
Peace.
hawks are so cool especially when mummified.
EGYPTIAN STUFF ROCKS
Its prity weard. I want to see them make it. HMPFFF

this is pretty cool for a dead bird lol
I thought that was awesome!
Hawk Haiku:
Graceful, soaring hawk.
Now preserved forevermore.
Gross meat for dinner.
I vewy much appweciate youw Haiku.... L-O-L
Vewy Haiku-ifick!!!!!!! O.o
I love mummies so this is a EXPERIENCE! TOTTALY AWESOME!
that kind of poem goes
3
5
3
not
3
5
4
Nope, I think Anonymous had it right. Haikus are 5 syllables, then 7, then 5.
Line one has five beats.
Line two has seven, for sure.
On three: five again.
um ok i would love to learn about a dead guy whos guts got ripped out of him and his brain taken out through his nose. hownot disturbing is that!
The hawk has a human face, yo.
Gross! Looks like a mummified person!
I love mummies. Mummy stuff is cool.
mummies rock
I wonder why this mummy is called a Hawk Mummy.I also think that it is facinating to see ancient things(like these mummys) in a museum!!!!!!!!!!!
this hawk mummy is kinda freaky but wayyy cool!
ha ha ha stupid hawk i think it had some thing wrong if it got caught by a person
It is scary
wow you are a girl
I didn't know that you could mummify a hawk !!!!!!!!!!!!
the outside is cool, but the inside is kind of gross!
I think the hawk was mummified to give it safe protection on it's supposed journey to the land of the dead. It supposedly gave the god Horus the honor of it's life.
poor hawk i wonder how old it was when it died
yo, the mummy is very cool, dawg.
These objects were sold for religious purposes, but the nature of that religion is only guessed at.
mazing how talented the ancient egyptians were with no technology
this is weird
I wonder what it tastes like
im really sad that the hawk died
i like egypt stuff
i like egypt stuff to coooool
i think is something nice
Ancient Egypt was a land filled with mystery
more than just a lot of sand we learned in history.
Running through this desert land was the river Nile, the longest river in the world with many a crocodiles.
That's where the Mummy Hawk was found!
I like the hawk mummy! It is cool!
A great specimen that teaches us a bit more about the rich and wonderful world we call home.
i can believe its a real mummy
i love egiyp!!!!!!!!
king ttut is so cool
mummies are so cool. Anyone who thinks that they aren't is obviously not apprechative.
OMG! how did you get that!
hi it looks likke a ummy person nothing like a bird
hawks are the best
I saw the king Tut exhibit today before I came here and saw the hawk. I want to be like Indiana Jones and find ancient artifacts.
its just a freakin' hawk!!! it isnt very "Godlike"
no i think it is really cccccooooollll!
In the New Kingdom, animals were generally not considered worthy of mumification. Hundreds of years later, however, as mumification became less exclusive and expensive, many animals, including owners' pets, were mumified. This mumified hawk may have been a hunting companion of a wealthy Egyptian concerned about what he would do for recreation in the aftelife.
Hoof Hearted was such a nice eagle. I'm glad he will soar with the gods now.
Mummys are amazing!
Why does the hawk mummy have a human head? That deosn't make [much] sense...
(and I thought animal mummies were usually cats or small feral dogs)
Anyways, thats my 50 cents.
The Mummified Hawk is talented and shiny.
woah dude. just woah. i'll buy it for 10 buckeroos
This is an amazing artifact! It is beatutiful!
hawks were a huge part of egypt. Horus, the second king of the gods, was part falcon/hawk. besides that egypt is just amazing!!
this thing is wierd looking i mean like a hawk in like a mummy?
MMMMMMMMM.... Taste like Bald Eagle!!!!!
I LIKE Hawks!!! Even when they're dead!!! :`d
his name should be hammy

hahaha mummufied hawk....... I LOVE U MYSTERIOUS HAWKIE! u r adorrrrable!!!!! xoxoxoxoxo yayyyy xoxoxoxo

i wonder if the egyptians mummified other animals.....
very cool artifact i like it alot
the munny is cool. but looks fake. tthe bear is scary!!!! i like the carpet seclection.
this is a fake i have much bettr thngs in my tomb
so cool it is like what 3000 years old
i wonder why it has a pharoh head/
i love mummies and egypt. so this is very facinating for me. i wish i lived back then.
Oncewe recover what the tomb robbers took, this stuff will be appearing A LOT more, so hope for the future!
Yuck it looks gross!!!!!!!!
I like to read about mummies. I have a book about them.
this is an awesome artifact it should be placed everywhere around the world so people can learn more and more about our worlds history and because its and awesome artifact!!!!!!!!

-Juan Rodriguez
It's wierd and cool at the same time
black hawk down.
did they put a hawk in it
that fish is a panfish
its a mummmy of a animal
this artifact was not actually found in africa!!!! i can read the inscriptions and it says it is from china, found in a mine. how could they? how. this is a rhyme. did the rhyme make this more memorable?
I think its gross but yet super cool!!!!!!!
i think it is made out of some tipe of rock
what a beastly object
I would actually like to see what it looks like. But other than that it's pretty cool i guess
It looks creepy.
Mummify hawks? That's pretty sweet.
ok so do you know what they look like ............................................................
the egyptians even mummified animals why and where is the hawk in the museum?
i like this artifact. you know? king tut? hes really cool in my opinion. the science museum is really cool!!!!!!!!
this is a nice mummie but king tut is more cool
this is an amazing place to eplore the artifacts in the old days, and a wonderful place to see old artifacts
Whoah like so cool! I could put it on E-Bay and make a million bucks!
The mummy thing was tight (:
mumahawk
Tutenhawken is Tutenawesome!
haikus are 5 7 5 not 3 5 3
zing
how do they know that it is a hawk
for an egypt expert [like me] it would just be a minor object
mmm mummfied hawk jerky
i had a mummy time.
Mummy!
not cool
thatthingisactuallyahawk? :-)
it looks cool
sad to mummifiy a hawk. how did he die?did whoever mummifiyed it do the same proseder to wrap other mummys?
I think this is really James O'Neill in this thing.

I love mummies they are cool i would love to go to Eygpt and discover mummies but I will stick with cosmotology

coolio
sweeet! i want to go to Egypt soooo bad!
it is so cool
ancient egyptians mummified animals, cats, hawks,dogs,and people. i saw a mummified cat at the king tut exibit. it belonged to a prince. this hawk's coffin has chiped paint so it's quite old.
INTERESTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that thing is coool !!!!!!!
it looks real
Wow! It's an ancient artifact from a tomb! Bad luck for the bird, though.
Wow! Why would they mummifya hawk?
i wonder what a mummified hawk would look like unwrapped...weird but still cool right? how would a hawk decompose compared to a human?
the hawk of osiris
This thing is spectacular and a great masterpiece
This looks like the beautiful princess yanilee. she was loved by all the land and people came from all oveer the world to see her!!!! THE END! :D
Mummies help me learn about kings of Egypt!
It actually not a hawk mummy, but a mummy of a horrific failed cross between a human and a parrot.
some were made out of gold.They were cool.
Eagle eye watching over the hawk.......
a creepy human head glued to a hawk body
I think it is a coffin for the queen!
its a bird wrapped in paper
it's cool!!!! looks like a human though
i think all this stuff is made of plastic!!:)
wow its so pretty.
this bird is nasty it is old and moldy
i think that these artifacts are soooo cool
i love that. i cant believe its a hawk.
i did not know that egypt has mummufied hawks!
This is so sweet!!!!!
It is so amazing!
I wonder how they mummified this?
that is very intersting. I want one.
I have been amazed with ancient Egypt since I was little, and this stuff just blows my mind. How all this could be preserved for so long is truly AMAZING!
I think its absolutely astounding that all these artifacts from 3,000+ years ago are still intact and being viewed around the world.
Very interesting!! We saw a short film on "Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs" ...that's what it reminded us of!
this is one cool picture
This is some stone age chiznit
im getting hungry
Beautiful Hawk, soaring through the skies, now preserved as a mummy: forever more
This is a mummy of my great great grandfather, Larry Hawk.
i used to be alive and played
then they bound me and put me away
the mummy was very interesting, pretty and cool. It was super pretty.
Hey peeps! This birdie is so cool!
that bird looks asome
Doesn't look like a hawk, why bother!
Mummies here are a bit cool
it does not even look likee a hawk.its a mummy in a bag or somthing.
How big is it? Is it the size of a human, or a little thing like a cigar case? I wonder if something is inside. (I'm not kidding).I wouldn't want it in my house whatever it is. It's creepy.
it would probably taste good
It does not look like a hawk.
IT LOOKS LIKE A MINNIE MUMMY
Man that hawk was my grand father.
Still soaring after tthousands od years as a mummy this hawk is a ancient egyptian artifact
He looks really old and dusty. I don't want him as an antique in my house.
Sweet! it looks like a ba!
this is a piece of the past to be respected by the future
This hawk is really cool. I wish they would do this to people these days, that would be so cool. And seriously this is something to be respected, not dissed.
why would it be a mummified hawk if it has head of a human that other people and pharaos had!??!!!?!
I've heard of being "hawk-eyed," but this is ridiculous! Maybe we should call it "Stephen "Hawk-ing!"
I apologize for how awful those puns were, but I couldn't resist.
wow this is super interesting! i want to know lots more!
hawk, hawk, graceful hawk, forever soaring in the sky
how do ya know its a hawk... ridic!
If there is one thing I can say about this artifact it is that what is it and how did you know were to look for it.<>
omg sice one have you been able to mumify a hawk
heheheheheheheheheh you think im dead but im not!!!!!!!
This artifact if very interesting in many ways I think that they should keep this artifact in a special place so everyone can see it!!!
This is so cool. It's pretty awsome stuff; expect me and my sister in the NEAR future in Egypt :)
I really loved the face of the hawk, so cool! :)
i think that its awesome that the egytians mumified animals and people (:
hawk mummy doesn't have feet.
The one on ebay is sooooooooo fake....
I think that this mummy is actually that of a tuna fish. It's quite obvious the more you look at it!
Why whoul they take sacred objects out of their rightful place just so insensitive people can be disrespectful to Egypt's culture?
in 1492 this hawk was found in the river along ide the may flower with the bones of King Archibald III of thailand.
mummies are so cool and ancient.
roses are red
violets are blue
i love mummies
i hope you do too
The mummified hawk is awesome! I didn't know that they had those!
Wow, what an amazing artifact! I wonder how old it is?
i think it looks like a strange packedge of something
I learned about these in social studies andthey arenreally disguting
i think it is a little seashell-ish,the way presented it on the screen. but i took a closer look,i like it!
This hawk is sacred.
Why would they make a mummy of a hawk? What is that hawks importance?
how old is it?
I quite enjoyed this artifact. I do wonder how the embalmer caught the hawk. It makes since that it would please the god you mentioned. It is a quite interesting story, thank you for sharing it with us.
It is pretty cool to look at but it would get boring if you knew nothing about it.
chirp chirp
It is a cool priscless artifact that should stay in the musem
When I die I want my body to burn up and the ashes blow in the wind. It's disgusting to have my bones in the ground!
This is a pretty freakin steezy hawk. It should probably be named Hawksford
what a amazing discovery i never seen this before
Mummifing a Hawk seems like a lot of work.
Easier than mummifying a human
To be sure. But still surprisingly difficult. The Buzz staff tried their hands at mummifying a chicken. Read the saga of Nefertweety...
this stuff is so old!!!!! i wonder how it stayed almost perfect...... this museum is my 2nd favorite.
mummifying a hawk seems cool!
i think mummies are very scary, and very interestin'.
mostly i thought egyptians mummified cats and aligators, but not hawks!
It's near priceless, would probabaly cost lots of money, and it's a great find
Mummies make me happy inside:)
A mummy bird
its SO COOL
hmmm the hawk must not of had a parachute or landing gear.
how is that a hawk
poor hawk he can't fly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is an artifact that should be apreciated. 3 thousand years from now and they have an arifact from our generation. It might be a ipod and things will be hi tech and they would look back and say "what were they thinking?" Respect other's culture. That is the beginning of peace.
a great historical artifact with much educational value
wow!!! so cool!!!
i've always been facinated by mummies!
a mummy bird...kinda freaky
A mummified bird cool but kinda freaky at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the hawk makes me think of other mummies like King Tut.
it looks like a reagular one, but small
its look really old i wonder how old??
wowza!!!! thats amaxzing!!!!
it looks really cool and really old . what if you were the hawk what would you like to do for your days of life.
they appreciated more than just hawks
they have also mummified many differnt animals
some including rats baboons(there was god for each of these, hence why) and many many others
one of the mst often mummified animal was the cat, which were treated very well and worshiped
This thing is so cool i love it!!!!!! I think it would be cool to go back in time and see it being mummified
ya its ok but why a hawk????
cool :) it does not look like a hawk
where in Egypt was it discovered ?
iwonder what it looks like?
why mummify a hawk,
i like to eat chicken ona stick
i think this object is 1 of a kind thing that anyone wouldn't really want to give up but that was a choosen thing to do and a very good idea !!!!
should be worth a lot more money
Back in those Acient times, the people in Egypt really respected domestic and wild animals. I'm not surprised to see this because I've seen coffins for muffified cats.
This bird flew through the sky,
Then it fell to Earth to die.
Now its in a mummified case,
Look! They even drew a face!
Mummified people, mummified cats, mummified birds. Whats next? Mummified fruit???
It's an awesome artifact!
They took a picture of my body, and they didn't tell me they used it, How rude!
the mummified hawk is great to learn about and tell proplee about it so they will pass this information down
i think its cool how egyptians mumified not just people but animals too!
A cool and different looking mummy.
what rights do we have dusturbing pharoh's tomb?
would you like it if someone dug you up and started tests on you???
Mummies are a deep look inside 3000 years ago as to diseases and other interesting facts. They are a mystery to humans today
Tut's toy - used when told to sit in the corner for a
"time out".
Im Egyptian and i found the King Tut exbit was really cool it helped me learn more about my culture. :)
cool and old
Defintion of "Old as dirt" lol
deploying previously successsful body preservation tactics, smart
Does it cost money to join thee collectors club?
Nope. Find out more about Collectors' Corner and Object of the Month.
