Just nuke it in the microwave until it turns into molten lava.

Now all the bacteria is dead and you can enjoy some ancient Egyptian nachos.

(Don’t actually do this)

But some bacteria produce toxins that survive moderate heating 😢

Edit: “While the botulinum spores can survive in boiling water, the toxin is heat-labile, meaning that it can be destroyed at high temperatures. Heating food to a typical cooking temperature of 176°F (80°C) for 30 minutes or 212°F (100°C) for 10 minutes before consumption can greatly reduce the risk of foodborne illness (WHO 2000).”

Hence why you keep nuking until the molten lava stage is reached.

(but again, don’t do this. I’m joking)

Just turn it into plasma. At this point it should become 100% sterile. Follow me for more simple cooking tips.

We can still eat the ancient honey though, right?

If the sarcophagus still has ‘juice’ in it, I think you might be a little early for archeology…

Pretty sure that’s just grave robbing

What, the pharaoh didn’t eat the cheese in the afterlife? It’s like leaving cookies and milk for santa and the mf-er didn’t bother to eat it
