Entry No. 10 — the Salt Lake City file — filed under: mummification

Summum Pyramid

Since 1975, the New Religious Movement Summum has practiced 'modern mummification' out of a windowless pyramid on the city's west side, blending Egyptian ritual with 1970s psychedelic philosophy and offering mummification services for pets (and, per their own literature, people). The pyramid itself is normally closed, opening to the public only for reserved evening classes on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month.

The move: Reserve two spots for a 2nd/4th-Wednesday evening class inside the actual pyramid, sit through the philosophy lesson on their seven principles, and ask afterward how the mummification process actually works.
