something for your pinglist?
As ancient Egyptian rulers go, just what made Tut uncommon?
What a surprise! Due to the nature of mankind, a king becomes quite paranoid about plots to do him in. And many times those plots succeed. How many want to be a king?
I was listening to the The Teaching Company's lecture on the history of Egypt by Professor Bob Brier. He was of the first people to put forth the idea that Tutankhamun was murdered by a blow to the head. There was a floating piece of bone in the skull, which was not stuck to the skull wall by resin. It was a very interesting thought.
Good, I guess that means they don't have to press charges and locate the murder weapon.
