CT scans of King Tutankhamun's mummy may put the world's oldest "cold case" to rest, refuting the notion that the ruler's enemies bludgeoned him to death. Instead, a festering leg wound may have led to the boy-king's early demise at 19, more than 3,300 years ago, researchers say. The scans, the first ever performed on an identified royal Egyptian mummy, "finally lay to rest this rather loosely based conjecture about a murder plot. I don't think that anyone who reads the findings as they are written can believe that any longer," said Dr. David Mininberg, a New York City physician who also holds a degree in Middle Eastern Art and is an expert in the medicine of ancient Egypt. Mininberg was not directly involved in the study but reviewed the paper prior to its presentation Monday at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, in Chicago. Because of the spectacular trove of objects found in 1922 in his intact tomb, Tutank...

among the largest constructions ever built by man, constitute one of the most potent and enduring symbols of Ancient Egyptian civilization. It is generally accepted by most archaeologists that they were constructed as burial monuments associated with royal solar and stellar cults, and most were built during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods

Why o Why do most men have such limited understanding?? It's not that hard to use your brain in the correct manner. You take in the information.....you process it.....you think about it.....and then you reply with wot should be common sense or act in an appropriate manner!! Yeah right!!!! More like.....you take in half the information....you jump to the wrong conclusion because of this.....You expect yes no answers and no logical explanations thrown in cos your brain would overload and can't cope! Then after you've been totally unreasonable you act like nothings happened and its all sorted! Mean while theres us stood there in dis-believe at the mental age difference! Arrrrrrrr MEN!!

Sunday, November 19, 2006 The Egyptian-French archeological mission has discovered a Pharaohnic cemetery inside the ancient Ramsis Temple in Luxor. The cemetery contains kitchens, ovens and a school for children. Secretary General of the Supreme Council for Antiquities (SCA) Zahi Hawwas said the grand cemetery was not royal but rather public. .

Ancient Egyptian tombs are priceless, and conserving them is a challenge to conservators. For the first time ever, researchers have used laser light to remove the accumulated dirt of millennia. The setting was the tomb of a high-ranking official not far from the Valley of the Kings. If only Neferhotep could see it: 3 300 years after his death, a researcher enters his tomb, directs a beam of light at the wall, and the accumulated dirt of millennia comes off with no trouble at all! Dr. Michael Panzner of the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS in Dresden is the first scientist to use a laser for cleaning an Egyptian tomb. Adorned with wall paintings, stone sculptures and reliefs, the tomb was once that of the senior scribe Neferhotep, who served in the temple of the god Amun. "The paintings on the walls are immeasurably valuable, for they tell us a great deal about the life of a high-ranking official", explains conservator Birte Graue. In this project spon...

AN ANCIENT riddle of the sands has been solved by modern hospital technology. The mummified remains of King Tutankhamun have been found to be, let us say, intact. When a team from Liverpool University X-rayed the body in 1968, about 3,300 years after the 19-year-old king’s death, they could find no sign of his penis. There was speculation that it had been stolen and sold to a private collector. There are people who do collect such things. But Zahi Hawass, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, discovered the missing member using a hospital CT scanner during a recent study of the remains. What was feared lost was where it should have been. “It has always been there,” Professor Hawass told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation this week. “I found it during the scan when the mummy was lifted; it lay loose in the sand around the king’s body.” All matters appeared intact when King Tut was first removed from his tomb by the Times-sponsored archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922, and ...

where do I find these in Cairo? Been to Carrefour where they are cheap but very poor quality. Plus they don't do the Western style duvet with seperate cover OMAR EFFENDI OR TAWHEED WA NOUR. THEY'RE DOTTED ALL OVER THE PLACE AND HAVE REGULAR SALES.

Boil chicken with an onion until tender. De-bone. Cut up how you wish. (it's your soup) Return to broth. I add; dried parsley and basil ( a good bit), salt pepper, spoonful of garlic, couple of chicken boullion cubes, sprinkle of poultry seasing. (if I have it, usually don't lol) I use a can of Veg-All, green beans, extra potatoes, or whatever extra I have. Big can of tomatoes. (preferably stewed) 1 cup of cooked rice. (I rinse rice before cooking when I put in a soup. So it doesn't become too thick) 1 or 2 cans of chopped green chilis. A few shakes of Tabasco. Fill pot with water. Cook down for at least an hour. The longer the better. Oh yeah! I add a little extra virgin olive oil to everything I cook. Alternatives: Sometimes I use Rotel tomatoes, add a cup or so of cooked mixed beans (black, kidney, lentils, great northern or lima, or whatever I have except for pinto beans. When it's really cold outside, I use the Ro-tell, chili's, and Tabasco.

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn. Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow. Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character. Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons. Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference. It's easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks. Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! ~ Unknown

Zahi Hawass, chief of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, at the entrance of recently discovered tombs honoring dentists. SAQQARA, Egypt — Thieves led an Egyptian archaeological team to discover three tombs of dentists to the ancient kings, unveiled Sunday at the Saqqara pyramid complex south of Cairo. "It seems for the first time that the ancient Egyptians made a cemetery to the dentist and they are buried in the shadow of the Step Pyramid," Zahi Hawass, chief of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, said as he toured the site. About 4,200 years old, the tombs honor a chief dentist and two other dentists, who served the royal families. They show that the ancient Egyptians "cared about the treatment of their teeth," Hawass said. Newly discovered 4,200-year-old tombs honor three dentists at the Saqqara pyramid complex. He pointed out two hieroglyphs — an eye over a tusk, appearing frequently among the neat rows of symbols decorating the tombs' doors...

Giza, on the southern outskirts of Cairo is the location of the Pyramid of Khufu (also known as the "Great Pyramid" and the "Pyramid of Cheops"), the somewhat smaller Pyramid of Khafre (or Kephren), and the relatively modest-sized Pyramid of Menkaure (or Mykerinus), along with a number of smaller satellite edifices, known as leens pyramids, and the Great Sphinx. Of the three, only Khafre's pyramid retains part of its original polished limestone casing, towards its apex. Interestingly this pyramid appears larger than the adjacent Khufu pyramid by virtue of its more elevated location, and the steeper angle of inclination of its construction — it is, in fact, smaller in both height and volume. The Giza Necropolis has arguably been the world's most popular tourist destination since antiquity, and was popularised in Hellenistic times when the Great Pyramid was listed by Antipater of Sidon as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Today it is the only one of the a...

Why Men Are Better Than Dogs Men only have two feet that track in mud. Men can buy you presents. Men don't have to play with every man they see when you go for a walk. Men are a little bit more subtle. Men open their own cans. Dogs have dog breath all the time. Men can do math stuff. Holiday Inns accept men. Why Dogs Are Better Than Men Dogs do not have problems expressing affection in public. Dogs miss you when you're gone. You never wonder whether your dog is good enough for you. Dogs feel guilt when they've done something wrong. Dogs don't criticise your friends. Dogs admit when they're jealous. Dogs are very direct about wanting to go out. Dogs do not play games, except fetch (and they never laugh at how you throw). Dogs are happy with any video you choose to rent, because they know the most important thing is that you're together. Dogs don't feel threatened by your intelligence. You can train a dog. Dogs are good with kids. Dogs are already in touch wi...

9 Things Stupid People Do 1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is? 2. People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually. 3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it? 4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses! 5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor. 6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine? 7. When some...

In the dead of summer a fly was resting on a leaf beside a lake. A hot, dry fly who said to no one in particular, "Gosh...if I go down three inches...I will feel the mist from the water and I will be refreshed." There was a fish in the water thinking, "gosh...if that fly goes down three inches I can eat him." There was a bear on the shore thinking," gosh...if that fly goes down three inches...that fish will jump for the fly...and I will eat him." It also happened that a hunter was farther up the bank of the lake preparing to eat a cheese sandwich. "Gosh," he thought, "if that fly goes down three inches...and that fish leaps for it...that bear will expose himself and grab for the fish. I'll shoot the bear and really have something to brag about." You probably think this is enough activity for one bank of a lake, but I can tell you there was more. A mouse by the hunter's foot was thinking, "gosh...if that fly goes down three...

Notable places in proximity of Hurghada * Sharm El Naga - a village, around 40 km south of Hurghada. Its beach contains possibly the most beautiful reef cliff in the region. * El Gouna - an artificially-created and privately owned luxury hotel town, about 25 km north of Hurghada. Its beauty comes not only from its quietness and cleanliness, but also from the fact that the town consists of several islands separated by channels and connected by bridges. Besides 14 hotels and 2 marinas, there are also three hundred private villas and apartments, and some five hundred more are under construction. It is sometimes called Egypt's Venice. * Al-Mahmya - a tourist beachfront camp on the protected Giftun island, 45 minutes by boat from Hurghada. * Soma Bay - a tourist resort situated 45 km south of Hurghada, with various hotels including Sheraton, Robinson Club and Hyatt Regency. * Sahl Hasheesh - a tourist resort situated 20 km from Hurghada airport.

The Nile (iteru in Ancient Egyptian) was the lifeline of the ancient Egyptian civilization, with most of the population and all of the cities of Egypt resting along those parts of the Nile valley lying north of Aswan. The Nile has been the lifeline for Egyptian culture since the Stone Age. Climate change, or perhaps overgrazing, desiccated the pastoral lands of Egypt to form the Sahara desert, possibly as long ago as 8000 BC, and the inhabitants then presumably migrated to the river, where they developed a settled agricultural economy and a more centralized society. Role in the founding of Egyptian civilization Sustenance played a crucial role in the founding of Egyptian civilization. The Nile was an unending source of sustenance. The Nile made the land surrounding it extremely fertile when it flooded or was inundated annually. The Egyptians were able to cultivate wheat and crops around the Nile, providing food for the general population. Also, the Nile’s water attracted game such as ...

Dolphins are often regarded as one of Earth's most intelligent species, though it is hard to say just how intelligent dolphins are as straightforward comparisons of species' relative intelligence are complicated by differences in sensory apparatus, response modes, and nature of cognition. Furthermore, the difficulty and expense of doing experimental work with large aquatics means that some tests that could meaningfully be done still have not been carried out, or have been carried out with inadequate sample size and methodology. See the "cetacean intelligence" article for more details. Dolphins often leap above the water surface, sometimes performing acrobatic figures (e.g. the spinner dolphin). Scientists are not quite certain about the purpose of this behavior, but it may be to locate schools of fish by looking at above-water signs, like feeding birds. They could also be communicating to other dolphins to join a hunt, attempting to dislodge parasites, or simply doing...

Barcelona Statuette Under Suspicion CADENA SER, Madrid Spain October 3, 2006 "El Gobierno egipcio quiere enviar a Barcelona un grupo de expertos en arte y arqueología para examinar una escultura que representa a una mujer,propiedad de la Fundación Jordi Clos, y que se halla expuesta en el Museo Egipcio de Barcelona. Las autoridades sospechan que pudiera haber salido de manera ilegal de aquel país. Se trata de una pieza del Imperio Antiguo (5ªth Dinastía faraónica, fechada alrededor del año 2.500 años antes de Cristo), que representa a una mujer llamada Nefert, esposa de un noble, realizada en piedra caliza policromada de unos 43 centímetros de altura." Roughly translated: the Egyptian government wish to sent a group of experts in the field of art and archaeology to examine a sculpture which represents a woman, the property of the Jordi Clos foundation, exhibited in the Egyptian Museum of Barcelona.

Nefertari (Nefertari Merytmut) c. (1300–1250 BC) was the Great Royal Wife (or principal wife) of Ramesses the Great. She is one of the best known Egyptian queens, next to Cleopatra, Nefertiti and Hatshepsut. Nefertari’s origins are unknown.

Here is some points of views I receive from experts: - Egypt is a Greek corruption - Aigyptos, derived from the native Het-Ka-Ptah, which means house of spirit ptah. Copt is also derived from Aigyptos. Misr is Hebrew from Misraim. Misraim was the son of Ham, in Hebrew mythology. - Esoterically - the word Egypt is derived from the first letters for the essence colours Emerald Green, Yellow, Pink, Turquoise (E-G-Y-P-T) which are the colours associated with the ancient 32 foot tall egyptians that originally came from the stars and lived in Egypt before the flood ... those that delve into these mysteries will see these essence colours appearing electrically so there must be some truth to this... - The name Misr is a Semiticized form of Ancient Egyptian: Medjr = walled district Medjre = tower, fortress These Ancient Egyptian words became Meetsrayeem [Egypt] and Meetsree [Egyptian] in Hebrew, and in Arabic; Misr and Masri respectively. It is the same as Westerners calling China, China, afte...

Halawa Sweet - Egyptian Hair Removal - Assalya This is a very old, very famous Egyptian recipe for wax that is completely natural and extremely effective. It is basically caramel, right before it reaches the crystallising stage (so it also tastes great). It is relatively simple to make, but take care to observe the carmelizing of the sugar, because the window for the wax to be just right before burning is very small. Do not be frustrated if you burn a batch; even experienced makers do this all the time. The best thing to do is to watch is continuously once the colour changes to golden brown. You can eat it or you can use it as Hair Removal. Ingredients for Halawa Sweet, AKA Sweet, Egyptian Sugar Wax, or Hair Removal by Lucy Elsherif 1. Two cups of water 2. Three cups of sugar or three cups of honey 3. Two teaspoons of lemon juice Procedure 1. Place all ingredients in saucepan. Bring to boil. 2.
