Since the mummy of Rameses was irradiated, during his stay in Paris, to help rid it of fungal and bacterial growths, I assume that this wold preclude obtaining...
For those of you who missed it last night, the "Charlie Rose Show" on PBS (U.S.) had a as guests Zahi Hawass and Catherine Roehring (MMA) on the recent...
I am not so sure on that. Radiation affects living multiplying cells more so than it would dehydrated dead cells. It is very possible that mitochondrial and ...
Hello, Been a member of this group for a while but more of a lurker than a writer.heh..anyway what urged me to write this evening and more or less vent my...
Hi Angel, It has been pretty well established by others that the box in question contained some of Hatshepsut's organs. It has been sealed since ancient...
I was thinking about how Hatshepsut paid for all of her temple building and expeditions. I bet she taxed heavily. Maybe the common people hated her for that...
HI Allison, We have a tendency to look at ancient civilizations and seeing them in modern methods of government. This doesn't really work. Taxation, as we...
Hi Doug and group members I read your response Doug and well I am still tongue in cheek about the entire discovery. I am not a huge fan of Hawass methods and...
Lol..the guy who wrote this has a sense of humor. I saw the show.. but fell asleep the last thirty minutes. I am surprised the Zahi Hawass did not have more to...
It's me again... When I said the box was sealed, I mis-spoke. Glued shut isn't quite the same thing I suppose. And yes the lid is slightly askew. I just...
I agree with Angel's post. Also.. since they were showing Egypt shows all day, did anyone else watch the Nefertiti show?? It was a re-run but I hadn't seen it...
Bone thinning.. like osteoporosis or some type of malnutrition? You would think that people who could afford a tomb could eat better too. Allison ... From:...

I assume the oldest dynastic royal sarcophagi we have are those of Khufu and that of his mother Hetepheres. (There is one unused one in a 3rd dynasty...
Dear Doug, The III dynasty sarcophagus you are talking about belonged to Sekhemkhet, 3rd pharaoh of the dynasty. It is rectangular in shape, so I would assume...
Thanks Charles, If I remember correctly, the sarcophagus in question would accommodate a body in an extended position. However the body would have had to have...
Since no one else in the group seems to have heard this story, I guess I'll be the one to post it. Tutankhamun is now going to be exhibited in a glass case...
Hi Charles, Starting with your last comment first, I've retired from work and am in the throes of kitchen remodeling. I have really mixed feelings on the...
In respone to previous messages. I must admit that part of me feels greatly appalled by this sad state of affairs. No respect has been shown to these Pharaohs....
