    Skull Funeral becomes a party when dead man wakes!

    Egypt funeral turns celebratory after dead man awakes



    Published May 12, 2012

    Associated Press

    LUXOR, Egypt – The funeral of a 28 year-old waiter in southern Egypt turned into a celebration when he woke up after being declared dead.

    Hospital officials had pronounced dead Hamdi Hafez al-Nubi, who came from the village of Naga al-Simman in the southern province of Luxor, after he suffered a heart attack while working.

    His family says grieving relatives took him home and, according to Islamic tradition, washed his body and prepared him for burial Friday evening.

    A doctor sent to sign the death certificate found it strange that his body was warm. At closer observation she discovered he was still alive.

    His mother fainted upon hearing the good news.

    With the doctor's assistance, both al-Nubi and his mother were awakened and soon were celebrating with guests.


    Al-Nubi sounds a lot like Anubis to anyone else? In the city of Luxor too

    Is it just me or are stories of people "coming back to life" becoming more frequent?
    Either medical needs to step it up...or I smell a zombie apocalypse happening.

    It reminds me of a story a read about a town where people actually wake the dead and corpses walk with their families to their burial.
    Creepy shit

    No they TOTALLY are! I remember readying about some woman in Russia, and someone else somewhere in Europe. WTF. That freaks me out. That means you could be cremated or buried alive.

    Have you heard of the origin of the phrase "Dead Ringer" or why there is a Wake in some Catholic cultures?
