The most famous Pharaoh in history and he only ruled for 10 years. That is just crazy to me

That's all well and good but I'm still not gonna show you the way to Hamunaptra.

There's a few ways to do it with GPR. Carry it on a back pack and hold a antenna pole while you walk. Planes/helicopters can use it, subs and rovs, and now remote control cars and drones.

We're getting smart about this stuff and it's opened up so much. Making maps of things we can't see like roads and trenches and tombs we never knew were even there.

Still have sooo much to scan but it's an exciting time for archaeology.

IIRC, Egypt has discovered a ton underground using magnetic and ground penetrating radar. However, they haven't dug them all up because they feel like they should leave stuff for future generations to find.

Kinda wish it was the brett favre meme instead. Thats kinda gross looking.

Hi! I want to learn more about the impact of colonialism on 19th and early 20th century China. Ideally the books would explain in depth events like Opium Wars and Boxer Rebellion. Thanks!

Edit: Thank you for the answers!

I recently read about a 2,000-year-old chinese mummy preserved in an acidic solvent. Her skin and hair fully intact. Her limbs still supple. Blood in her veins appeared to be in well preserved condition. You can see the mummy here.

I suspect they’re referring to Itjtawy.

There are many other royal cities like Per-Ramesses and Tanis that have been located but scarcely excavated. I am optimistic that an archive of cuneiform tablets will eventually be found at Per-Ramesses.

Who cares. They are all dead. Let the dead bury the dead and let the dead dig them back up.

Why?

Those people are dead bro. They don’t have feelings and haven’t had them for thousands of years

I get the sentiment but it’s been thousands of years

Why though?

Haha you sound like me in like every open world game.

It doesn't take a lot of space to hide something.

I think even Montefiore himself would probably agree with your assessment, as he later wrote a "prequel" of sorts called Young Stalin. This covers more of the war and lead up to revolution. Perhaps it would be better to read that first? I'm in the opposite position as I've not yet read The Court of the Red Tsar.

I'm looking for a book on the history of Buddhism. Is there anything like what Diarmaid MacCulloch has written regarding Christianity?

I'm particularly interested in how Buddhism has changed as it has been adopted in new countries/cultures. Ideally it would be written for a lay and secular audience.

Is there such a book?

Looks like mummies back on the menu, boys!

Seriously, I'm sure some crazies will still try to eat those things...

This comment made me deader than the mummies, thanks for the laugh.

Oh good. My tube of mummy brown oil paint is just about empty.
