:^) Last time I saw him ****ing up stuff was the muography done at the Great Pyramid -- the non-invasive scans that revealed the second set of large voids, right where Jean-Pierre Houdin had predicted.

Reminds me of the book, The Egyptian, by Mika Waltari.
I read it many years ago and remember little of it but I seem to remember the main character hid in the funeral home among the dead for a while.
Was not a fav book of mine but it was recommended to me by my father and grandfather, and was evidently very accurate. I wonder what new things they will discover and how it will compare.

I wonder if/how they will work Global Warming into their narrative. They used to do some wonderful articles, but I stopped subscribing to NG because the magazine is a non stop shill for environmental whackos.

”The first gilded silver mummy mask in Egypt since 1939“ Well I just hadda see THIS! Not as fantastic as I hoped for but still, something to see. A face from the past, illuminated for us in silver. https://www.realmofhistory.com/2018/07/16/mummy-silver-gilded-mask-saqqara-egypt/

I went to the gorgeousTutankhamen exhibit in London in March - and they were selling Hawass hats in the gift shop!

Not sure, but have a friend that works in antiquities in Cairo. He has shown drawings using electric eels in tanks as batteries.

There is an electric catfish, as well as an electric fish called a torpedo. Electric eels are South America.

Silver was highly prized in Egypt even beyond gold.

Ancient Egyptian director: “Well, I suppose you could go with the wood sarcophagus, but don’t you think your father would be worth the cost of the stone model with gold trim?”
