always interesting when the Egyptians find something new.
Thanks for posting!
Nice! cool they are still discovering.
Lots of mummies but no daddies. Were the ancient Egyptians sexist as well as racist, or is this more off-white privilege?
Very interesting.
LIMA, Peru - A top Peruvian anthropologist said Friday that President Clinton's joke about the sex appeal of an Inca mummy was "tacky" and criticized the display of the mummy in Washington.
Clinton joked during a political fund-raiser Wednesday that the 500-year-old frozen mummy, known as the Ice Princess, was "good-looking" and if he were single he might ask her out. "That mummy looks better than I do on my worst days," he said.
Anthropologist Sonia Guillen said, "Obviously, there's a lack of respect" in Clinton's remarks.
"Called Juanita by Peruvian scientists, the 12 to 14-year-old girl apparently was killed by a powerful blow to the head 500 years ago and sacrificed to the gods atop 20,000-foot-high Mt. Ampato."

I love this stuff, and am lucky enough to live in New York City, home of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where they have a huge exhibit on ancient Egypt. It's one of only a few reasons I feel lucky to live here.
If the people died more than 3000 years ago, their mummies aren’t exactly new.
Did they find any Naquadah?
