It's remarkable (given what I've seen of the photos of the aftermath of the 1906 quake) that any of the cartonnage was saved..

Algaze found that the name of the buried woman was Senchalanthos. One part of the inscription translated to: ...

“May her name rejuvenate every day.”

One of the things that was part of Egyptian religion was the daily recitation of the name of the dead person (this is mentioned in another part of the text that has been translated thus far), but it's been a while since anyone in her family has done so, oddly. :^)

Stanford put out the cover story about the quake damage, but we're sure that Slick broke everything while trying to jump on her.

I tergiversated about quoting that part.

A Madonna bra. Senchalanthos was way ahead of her time.

All that and we still don't know if Algaze passed the course.

Its more fun to go out and dig stuff up —— and get your name in headlines.

Senchalanthos

Unfortunately it was written there by an ancient Starbucks employee so we still have no idea what her name was.

Indeed, but this was a college course regarding museums.

“Museum Cultures: Material Representation in the Past and Present.”

But, I agree. It would be so amazing and rewarding to discover artifacts in the ground. Perhaps that will be her next course or even job.

She has a great body for a 60 year old man.

;^) Her mummy's been propped in the corner of that Starbucks since 1906, but because of her white privilege, no one has asked her to leave -- other than the "activists" who come in every day and accuse her of cultural appropriation from all-black ancient Egypt.

Do you have any idea how many *years* I've waited to use tergiversate in a sentence?!? Rejuvenate, tergiversate, hell, I'm an egghead rapper now.

Of course the devastation of San Francisco gets the lions share of the attention, but this was a regional disaster; it’s just that the outlying areas were largely rural. Auburn is at 1300 feet in the Sierra Foothills 120 miles from the city.. Press reports at the time indicate people could see the glow in the West from SF burning, despite the fact that coast range is between the two places. The Stanford is 40 miles from SF and got major damages. Another 10 miles away, fatalities and major damage to buildings in Santa Clara and San Jose.
