GGG Ping.
Remember that 5,300 year old Oetzi (The Iceman), had tattoos. His tattoos were located at acupuncture points and is causing scientists to re-think the origins of acupuncture. The copper ax found with Oetzi pushed the copper age back by 1,000 years.

And I thought destroying your body was just a recent act of stupidity. I guess those bad genes never got removed.

They found some across his forehead that translated into some very nasty things too.

I wonder if any of them were Rebel flags, "Born to Lose", or Anheiser Busch eagles? lol

"The discovery was made on three mummies two that used to be female bodies and one male body "
Used to be female bodies? Is this a case of post-mortem transexualism or poor English?

Thanks Blam. As someone who's never shy about making conjectures, I'd say the tattoo -- used as tribal or familial identification as well as decoration -- probably has origins far older than this, but obviously this is very very unlikely to ever be confirmed by actual surviving mummified flesh. Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --
Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.
