No wonder the dynasties crumbled. Seems there's a lesson in this story somewhere.

One lesson: when you're the king, don't spend so much time worried about your nails!

And yes, don't play Pokemon...

...a more recent view that has gained support among gay advocates."

Homosexuality has almost achieved religion status. The queer community has decreed that these two are homos based solely on dogma. No science required.

That's embracing????? They both have their "skirts" on. I don't see fondling, tongue, probing or fellatio. Which brings to mind, what gives any person the right to violate another person's final resting place. Archeology is Necromancy!

Well, American Indians (as well as many other native/tribal people) would not argue with you at all.

I guess I take a middle ground in that I believe things can be learned with minimal disturbance at the site.

This follows in the wake of the finding of the graves of Izdatyu and Imontop, the first Egyptian interior decorators.

THe explanation might even be simpler. Perhaps the first draft had him facing left and then the conservatives took over and had the artist paint over and draw him facing right. The cover paint has since dissolved and we are left with two portraits of the same man.

"..they were highly esteemed in the palace as the chief manicurists of the king"

Sort of like clothing designers or interior decorators?
