“carvings, ceramics, textiles, and the bones of six children, who may have been sacrificed at the time of the king’s death. blood-red bowls containing human fingers and teeth, all wrapped in some kind of organic substance that left an impression in the plaster. We then dug through layer after layer of flat stones, alternating with mud, which probably is what kept the tomb so intact and airtight.” “

Days like this I count my blessings that I was born in the US and at this time period.
