The story of Cluckopatra:
....... Lost in the annals of thyme comes the story of the lost Queen and Pharaoh Cluckopatra. The dates of her reign are in dispute but seems just before or after the Egg Dynasty. She is more correctly referred to as a leader of the house of Ptoultry, and is commonly linked to her husband, Two-Klucken Kommon. At the peak of her power she ruled the lands between Samonellus and Staphylococcus holding back the notorious Avius Floo army at the "Battle of Buffalo Wings". She was killed when her palace, Alektorophobius, was stormed by rebel troops and her body laid at rest in the frozen isles of "Foodlionus."

The Real story of Cluckopatra:
....... As part of HNRS 237 (Imagining Egypt and Antiquity), students learned about the society, lives, and practices of ancient Egypt. For their PACE program assignment, students were given the task of creating information materials, presentations, and exhibits for the Rightmire Children's Museum. During the creation of the exhibit, students Laura Schaefer and Natalie Pye came up with an interesting idea on how to illustrate the mummification process and decided to mummify a chicken and document the process (yes, you read that correctly). While it was deemed probably too graphic to have a Cluckopatra physically present at the museum - all of the parents thought it was the coolest thing ever. We present without much comment - Cluckopatra's journey.
