This guy once ruled a good portion of the civilized world and was worshipped as a god. Now his name is forever associated with condoms. Sic transit gloria mundi.

"The Return of the Ramses Mummy".
Oh, would that make a great movie. I really pine for those grainy but great old mummy flix.
Nowadays the only mummy pictures we see are those of David, Liza, Michael and Liz.

"Mr Hawass praised the handover as "a great, civilised gesture"." Good gesture, bad precedent. You think the Egyptians will like the U.S. more because of it?

"We are the sons of the Nile. Welcome Ramses, the builder of esteemed Egypt," sang a group of schoolchildren around the coffin.
About as accurate as the claims of Afrocentrists that the ancient Egyptians were black.

The artifacts from ancient Egypt are fabulous and the Egyptians can thank the Brits and Americans who took them into their museums for the fact that they have value. The Egyptians destroyed more than was saved.
