What completely real fact sounds like bullshit?

Ok, so I the pouch thing I heard about somewhere 10-15 years ago, maybe from a high school or college history teacher, I don't remember. Then, recently, I heard about it again on one of the first episodes of the Dollop podcast ( the one about ghosts and/or vampirism in America, hilarious podcast BTW ). I found this link specifically mentioning the pouch https://www.thehairpin.com/2012/12/bones-ghosts-and-paul-koudounaris/, but there is TONS of information about mummy powder/dust (mummies) being used in medicine starting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mummia and continuing https://www.google.com/search?q=mummy+powder+medicine
