I thought it was Bush's fault (or at least, the Israelis).

They need to solve the 'riddle' of their hate filled religion.

FIRST Halliburton overcharged him; THEN they killed him.

No riddle there...it's their "Religion of Peace" (if you're not a muzzie, we hate you and we'll kill ya).

and died while only a teen-ager.

If I was king at that age I would most definitely have killed myself in my harem.

There was a special on the discovery channel aa couple of years ago in which some students of forensic science did a murder investigation and re-enactment of how Tut's death might have occured. The chief suspects they pinpointed for having the most compelling motives were the high priest, the army commander and his wife, and they showed how each of the three might have done the deed or paid an assassin to do it. My bet was on the army commander.

Zahi Hawass

Talk about a Mideast dictatorship. You simply cannot read or view anything to do with ancient Egypt these days without being subjected to this guy with his nervous accent. Aren't there any OTHER egyptologists in the world anymore? Or has Hawass got them all locked in in a tomb somewhere?

(I know, I know, I spend too much time watching documentaries to let this bother me.)

"No riddle there...it's their "Religion of Peace" (if you're not a muzzie, we hate you and we'll kill ya)."

Uh, King Tut lived many centuries before Islam existed. In fact, he ruled between 1333-23 BC, so he predated Christianity by a few centuries, too.

History is an amazing thing. If you study it, you don't make mistakes like you made.

I thought I saw King Tut in London in the 70's. Hummmmm must have been somebody else. I guess all ancient Egyptian rulers look pretty much alike.

You would be speaking of the intrepid explorer, lecturer, itenerent traveler, the favored son of Memphis, and author of books to many to mention ....Richard Haliburton.

Althought he visited and wrote of Egypt extensively, he probably had no hand in either the death or mummy disfigurement.

I guess I must mention his best and by far my favorite "The Complete Book of Marvels".
