Yes, it is! Thanks!

I just watched a two-hour documentary on a dig outside Saqqara, Egypt, and it was fascinating! They found over 250 coffins with mostly women, evidently underscoring how difficult bearing children was in the New Kingdom.

They found some beautiful (?) mummies, wrapped tightly in their linen bandages, and looking like something straight out of a seamstress’ shop. It was fascinating! (Mr. Hawass was at front and center of the show, of course.) They use X-ray machines to find out what the sex of the occupants are now, so they don’t have to disturb the remains. How cool is that?!

Anyway, it kept me occupied until the federales left. I was, indeed, spared!!

Excellent use of time. I had a nap. The casserole is almost done.
