Thought this was a Goth Forum. Oh yes I forght, I live in Knoxville. Sorry about that....

Actually the techniques used for this project are very similar to techniques used today in forensic sciences to help identify john/jane doe decomposed corpses.
I love hearing about how technology is being used to tell us more about history and therin ourselves. And as the saying goes, those who don't know history are forever doomed to repeate it....

I found the story interesting. Thanks Frostmorne for posting it.

You should check out last months (either that or the month before that) issue of National Geographic. There is a cool article on something similar to that...but not about Tut...

And, I believe they are having articles on the Tut story in next months issue of Nat'l Geographic...

Which reminds me....I still haven't gotten this months issue...

I'm obsessed with history....and Egyptology fascinates me!

Oh yeah...

And they are having a special on it sunday...check it out...

I saw that on the news... looked like the transexual from The Crying Game.

It is very cool, though. Perfectly acceptable posting, IMO. Thanks Frostmourne!
