For god’s sake, can’t the dead be left alone to rest in peace ?

If your really interested in this subject and time period , check out Antonia Fraser also.

I have not, but Alison Weir is on my radar (moreso now). Thank you for the recommendation.

wow thank you so much for this, that was so cool

As long as Brendan Fraser is alive you don't have to worry about the mummies.

If you can find it, History in Three Keys: The Boxers as Event, Experience, and Myth by Paul Cohen

Have you read Aliason Weirs' "The Lady in the Tower: the fall of Anne Boleyn"

They aren't resting, they are dead. They ain't getting back up, man.

>Let the dead bury the dead

So like.. Just don't bury anybody? We just gonna start leaving bodies where they die or something, because that sounds pretty unsanitary. And if the dead start digging the dead back up I think we got some more serious matters at hand.

They're the same picture.

Thus proving that more important than your accomplishments in life is leaving a super cool grave.

Yeah weird wording on their part but they mean that she was so well preserved they can tell what she last ate by the contents of her stomach

That’s so sad that she started to deteriorate when it was opened. Imagine being in disturbed for 2000 years looking gorgeous and all of the sudden some Europeans pop you open ahaha

History = tourism, and that’s really their only export.

>They also assume that melons were the last item she consumed before she passed away since her corpse was so perfectly preserved.

I almost dismissed this article when I thought they were talking about melon's magic powers of preserving mummies. They can't be saying that, right? The body was so well preserved that the remains in her stomach look like melons. Right...?

Ah, thank you.

In addition to the other replies, the weather there is really, oppressively hot. Going out in the middle of nowhere to search for sites requires lots of resources like fuel, water, food as well as the equipment to excavate sites. It's not like many gas stations or restaurants are nearby. So it's actually quite dangerous if you get lost. They must be funded really well with professional people so it often comes down to just how much money one is willing to pour into hunting needles in a hay stack.

I often wondered about how bad things would have to be in the world to live in a bunker. If things are so bad aren't you just prolonging the inevitable?
