Ampata (not even HER name)

[Chosen Enemy]

I've always wondered about somethng regarding to Ampata.
She was a mummy for all those years. Then she's brought back to life. And she speaks English and knows about the US geography (she "toured"). But she is Peruvian if I'm not mistaken, and ancient. How does she know English, US geography, the existence of lipstick, high school dances, etc. ?

😕

^She did say something about travelling around the country, and I guess it's implied that she heard people speaking English...but hearing a language is different from learning it! 😛

Yeah...bit of a plot-hole there! 😛

^She did say something about travelling around the country

That's the thing. I think she lied, because she was in a mummy coma for the past hundreds of years.

 

[Tintaglia]

Lol, mummy coma xD and I totally agree. For all intents and purposes, she was dead.
Dead people don't hear stuff!

When she sucked the lifeforce from a person, ie the bracesboy, she also learned from osmosis. Easy enough to understand.

^Ah, that is a valid point!

A savior! Didn't think of that possibility all these years! 😀

That's an interesting thread.
The only explanation I can think of is that she doesn't only suck the life out of her victims, but also information and knowledge.
So after sucking the life out of the real Ampata (the guy) she knew everything he knew.

Edit: I guess that's what Scobro just said.

I think the knowledge thing arrived when she sucked the life out of the first victim, before Ampata: that boy that Willow talked to right before. But how much knowledge can one get from THAT guy??!

Ampata says that she "toured" and I think she has those information from the 'Ampata-guy'.
I figured she sucks the knowledge out of all people she kisses. So also from the dumb guy.

[...] But how much knowledge can one get from THAT guy??!

Haha, yeah 😀

Willow: Are we still on for our chem tutorial tomorrow?
Rodney: Yeah. I think I got almost all fourteen natural elements memorized.
Willow: There are a hundred and three.

Ampata says that she "toured"

She has toured, all kinds of museums. Thats a joke. Just like Dracula doesn't drink... wine.

 

[JCoatsworth]

Oh, well, guess I got that wrong then.
Anyway, to me it would make sense.
