The interesting thing about coal tar and psoriasis is that people with psoriasis are missing and enzyme in their skin that makes the coal tar carninogenic.

I am post #6. Who is post #1?

[hellbender]

"We have known for a long time that Hatshepsut had cancer and maybe even died from it,"

Do they know this from an autopsy of her mummy?

[dangerdoc]

You are silly man.

The interesting thing about coal tar and psoriasis is that people with psoriasis are missing and enzyme in their skin that makes the coal tar carninogenic.

Are you saying that the the fact that they are missing the enzyme makes coal tar carcinogenic to them, or that it the enzyme itself that makes coal tar carcinogenic?

[dangerdoc]

It is an enzyme that makes the coal tar a carcinogen. Polycyclic aromatic hydratase or something similar to that, PAH for short. Coal tar treatment for people with psoriasis does not appear to increase their risk of skin cancer.

I’ll have to look it up and refresh my memory later.

[dangerdoc]

Ok that does not look right at all.

“Who is post #1?”

You are, silly man.

Interesting. Thanks for the clarification.

So, on one hand these folks are saying that she possibly had psoriasis and took creosote to relieve the itching, and then conclude that it was the creosote that gave her cancer.

That had to make her as attractive as a railroad tie.

Little known is that 'Cleopatra' means 'Creosote.'

She wasn't bad, but the way she carried on, she probably should be nicknamed "Hatshepslut". ;')

She was pretty, as inbred royalty goes, and had the gumption to mate outside her immediate family, which was good. Her daughter appeared from nowhere (since H was not married except in form to her step-son who was also her half-brother) and the father was the architect of her famous mortuary temple. Besides the ancient graffito which rather daringly shows H and her architect buck naked (she’s wearing the crown I think) and doin’ it, he was also given a spot under the temple for his own burial, and besides his booty call and architect duties, he was H’s daughter’s tutor.

There are those who think that the rumor is unsubstantiated, which goes to show how the political seduction of history has made inroads.

The daughter died in her youth, and her tomb (plundered, probably in ancient times) is high up on a cliff wall far off to the west of the KV.
