New book: "Nefertiti Has Five Mummies."
Nefertiti, wow. If true, that is quite the find, indeed.
fyi
Dead 3,000 years? That is so hot! Is her husband around? I'd like to date that mummy...
Here's a link to Yahoo news. It has pictures from the public unveiling of the tomb today.

Yes it is. This breaking story will make major news in tomorrow's papers.
Unfortunately the thread has already attracted some would-be (unfunny) FR comedians.
Great Link. 89 pictures...a little tough on my dial-up though.
hahaha...
LOL! Now that's funny.
Now if they could just get Germany to give Egypt back her head.
Photos were excellent but also frustrating, in that only that one isolated view was avaiable. I'm sure eager to see more, to state the obvious.
But, also, that photo of the "head of a 3000-year-old statue of King Amenhotep III" was great to see, given that the only thing previously about that discovery I've seen was in-site, whence the head was positioned face down as it was discovered. So, seeing it full on is truly something...it's quite beautifully done, and quite beautiful because of that, in addition to the antiquity involved.
LOL! Especially since Nefertiti was supposed to be quite the babe.
40 million comedians out of work and all of them hang out at FR, yaknow. ;-)
Thanks for the link.
I like comedians. Can't we recruit some who are less predictable?
Best time I ever spent overseas was traipsing thru the Cairo museum, incredible is all I can say as I walked up and down the aisles and exhibits.. that and R&R in Korea and the Phillipines, the times I remember, anyway. The camel ride at Giza was so so and the inside of the pyramid was kind of odorous, to say the least. ;-)
5 meters from Tutankhamen, and they did not notice until now?
Nefertiti: the ultimate MILF!
Mummy I'd Like to Find! ;-)
LOL
