It's been a long time since I've been as excited as I was last night watching that show. Naturally, I thought of you and the red headed mummies. :0)
I really liked that female archaeologist, too. She was great. A real people person. I think that's one secret of her success.
I hate that I missed it. I might add that some of the 4,000 year old mummies in and around the Tarim Basin had the tall cone shaped (felt) hats. One of the mummies was named Woman With Ten Hats. Some of the hats were strange in that they had a double peak in the cone.
