Do either of you have links to articles reporting findings of cocaine and nicotine on Egyptian mummies?

I'm sorry. I have never seen an article on it. I have heard it on different history-channel-type programs. I'm sure it must be out there though. My husband and step-son heard (read?) about it and it has been dinner conversation several times. Nor is it new. It was several years ago that we talked through this.

I just did a google search using "cocaine" nicotine" and "Egyptian mummy". I got a number of hits. This one cited some sources and was on an acamdeic site. I didn't really read it through.
