I couldn't resist and bought it this week. All a bit odd especially some of the wording such as "Sitamunn was a chip off the old block" or something along...
Dear Jon, Is there enough left of Tut to do an autopsy, even if DNA testing is still out? His mummy isn't the best preserved, after all. When Howard Carter...
I'm with you. A lot has happened to Tut in the last 80 years. None of it good. I think I'm one who thinks Howard Carter did a good job with the conditions of...
I don't see how anybody can judge the bodily dimensions of Tutankhamun by his clothing. Ancient Egyptian clothing wasn't "tailored" by any means. Shirts were...
The diaper shaped objects (and there were a lot of them) are more properly named, "loin cloths" rather than "underwear". These are indeed loincloths and are...

... of the special on Rameses Son. I found it to in parts interested but in others I had to argue with it. I dont agree that Moses was one of his sons or that...
