GGG Ping.

The cloth shows that the child had been shrouded before burial

Is shrouded after burial possible? Why is this a point of interest?

A 5,000 year old child? Then I must be, at age 60, merely a zygote!

Like NOLA...

"It had four stages of civilization and was burnt down three times. Since it was not rebuilt after the last time it was burnt down, it has been named the Burnt City."

Boy these guys sure are real good at naming stuff, ha ha ha. Seriously, thanks for posting this, following this stuff is kind of a hobby
