3400 years just like that dated, still no cause of death on Scalia.

Too cool bump

Very cool. To put it into perspective, 3400 years ago is roughly the time of Moses and the Exodus.

Strangely enough, they opened one of the tombs and found John McCain sitting inside reading a political journal.

I find it very strange that archeologists make such a big deal out of finding new burial sites worldwide—when it should be obvious that folks have been burying their dead from time immemorial.

And ‘important finds’ of seeds in a pot that show the diet and the funeral rites aren’t particularly surprising or enlightening.

Now if they found the 3400 y.o equivilent of an Altari, TRS-80 or a Commodore 64 then that would be really interestting and worthy of mention.
