What would you do if a mummy came back to life in front of you?

You are the last visitor at a small Museum of Egyptology. You walk around the room. Since it is so small, the only guard is the Person selling Tickets at the entrance. Suddenly you hear glass shatter. You turn around and one oft the mummies climb out of the sarcophagus. He seems disoriented and asks you, what place this is and why he isn't in his tomb.

What do you do?

Ask them how they learned to speak English.

That's an easy one. They did a stint at a British museum for a century or so.

You can communicate with an English person by making noises through a stiff upper lip.

Also a good idea. Maybe he woke up before and learned the language.

I assumed some kind oft translation spell to be in place so he would instantly understand the language of the place he resurrects in.

There was one time I was sleeping and my ex's dog woke me up barking. It really startled me, like I was actually terrified, and without thinking, literally tackled the dog. Always thought I was a runner, but might end up attacking the mummy.

Since my reaction when someone robbed me at gunpoint was to ask them if it was a real gun, I would probably ask the mummy how they learned English and go from there.

If they just seem confused and not hostile then we are gonna have a long conversation until the guard comes to boot me out when it closes.

Reevaluate my worldview and look for an employee. I'd have no idea what they're saying as I speak neither coptic nor greek

First I would be taken aback, I didn't know my mummy was dead, and then taken aback again that she came back to life.

The mummy would be tired of me. I would want to sit down and talk to them mummy, ask it all about life during it's era, hygiene, technology, religion, sex, etc. I would want to know how it died, who it's family were.

So many questions.

Wonder why I'm being pranked and where the cameras are.

Ancient Egyptians had no conception of English.

Knock it down, stomp it, then pee on it.

If you don't fully desecrate the corpse it'll just keep coming back to life.

Well i don't how it would behave other than what i saw in the Mummy movies so if it's Billy Zane you'll get sucked to death and if it's a female mummy you'll get sucked off to death so either way it'll suck so i'd prefer the female mummy and try bang it before being sucked off to death.

Run away. And ideally try to lock it into a room on my way out.

As long as he didn't make any startling movements towards me, I'd help him out. It would be so cool to have a mummy friend. Perhaps tell him about how far civilization has come.

I'd say hello, welcome to [date] and offer him a glass of water.
