Criminy! "Hair-lip"? For the love of Mike, it's a harelip. Am I the sole remaining speaker of the Queen's English?
Not quite the ONLY one...see post #21.
There should be evidence of osteomyelitis on a microscopic examination of the bone which would clinch it or throw it out.
Heh heh... I guess he was hurt bad, his body was found wrapped head to foot in bandages.
Couldn't one suffer a fatal embolism from a break?
Yes...rather than a blood clot, fat emboli can follow a fracture (the marrow is very fatty).
Egyptian School DazeOver the years I have tried loading Latin, German, and French into my brain, more or less unsuccessfully, and with some effort have picked up enough Spanish and Greek to find a bathroom or avoid the squid-and-tripe casserole. Nonetheless, I took on the task of trying to learn hieroglyphs using Janice Kamrin's Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs: A Practical Guide (New York: Abrams, 2004; $35) and How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs (Berkeley: University of California, 2003; $24.95), by Mark Collier and Bill Manley. The authors are all Egyptologists... With enough dedication, either book will help, but I was happier with Collier and Manley's... Do what I didn't do: make flash cards. It will be a no-fun exercise of rote learning, but you can make use of spare moments that might otherwise be wasted (such as committee meetings or visits with the in-laws). Kamrin recommends this, and it really will pay off later on.

En Route to the TruthA new archaeological series titled "Digging for the Truth" debuts on the History Channel, beginning with two one-hour episodes on January 24 (9:00 and 10:00 pm ET/PT). Hosted by Josh Bernstein, who runs an outdoor survival school in Boulder, Colorado, the show looks at archaeological sites and questions around the world... Bernstein trots about Egypt and visits with a number of experts en route to concluding that finding Nefertiti's mummy isn't likely and that the pyramids were built by Egyptians, not Atlanteans, Martians, or the like... [T]here's a good part in which Zahi Hawass is shown in a tomb with Bernstein explaining to him why a mummy recently proposed as Nefertiti's can't possibly be hers (among other evidence, a DNA test, he says, proves the mummy is a male).

A combo of a broken leg / bone fragments in skull could have resulted from a bad fall from a horse. I wonder if that’s what happened. I’m trying to imagine another way a king would end up with a broken leg / skull injury.
Drinkin’, while livin’ in a condo made of stone-ah.
