Okay everyone, the CAT scan results were announced last Tuesday. You probably heard them--heck, they were on the front page of my local newspaper, along with...
Thanks for the links Charles. The first is outdated already, but typing in "Tutankhamun" in search brought it up just fine. From what I read, if he weren't...

Hi again Charles, I saw the reports on Tut on all the national TV channels, but hadn't really seen anything in any of the local papers (1 paper). I think it...
It may just be that the lesion on the cheek was only superficial. None of the X-rays or CT Scans show damage to the bone. A boil leaves a similar scab when...
hi everyone reading everyone's comments it made me start to ponder on the murder mystery that many historians and Egyptologist's burned into our brains wether...
Greetings Jon, I haven't really gone to Guardians lately. The discussion group there seems to have gone defunct. Thanks for the link. I really doubt that...

I saw the nether regions also and they look much the same as most mummies male and female. There's a gaping hole where the rectum had been removed and if a...

Hi Marianne, There are some nice shots of "mummy bottoms" in some JEA's I've seen too. Unfortunately most of those are in the reference section of our local...

I went back and re-re-re-read that. I suppose the Egyptians found out you can't take it ALL with you when you die. :-) I have no idea as to why he would be...
Given the size of that abcess and the destruction of bone around it, he had it for at least months. The abcess and accompanying osteomyelitis would be a very...
It's amazing that so many of the royal mummies have such terrible teeth and that no body seems to think about something like that being fatal. Not only do the...
