Onions And (Egyptian) Mummies

The Egyptian Mummies and the vegetable originally thought to be from South East Asia.

We're very confident Mummies came from Egypt. Big structures all around them with history and hyroglyphs to track them down to that specific country.

But the original wild onion is extinct! It's no longer with us at all and there's not enough evidence to pin point the birth country of the onion.

There is a definitive link between the two though!
