The Boy King

I see 4 brown fellas around a dead body and I think gang rape.

As per usual Egypt's antiquities chief Dr. Zahi Hawass who thinks hes Indiana Jones is right in the thick of things. They took the mummy of King Tutankhamun from his sarcophagus in his underground tomb to show the boy king off to the world.

The lad has seen better days

I remember the days when you could lift whatever you wanted and take it back home but now the Egyptians are getting touchy about such things. I'd ship home thousands of mummies for burning as fuel or to be ground up for medicine

"Mumia" was a kind of medicine. It was imported from Egypt. It is the black stuff from the mummies, a mixture from resin, herbs and what not - everything that worked at their time, it worked in the 17th and 18th century too. The imported mummies used to be grinded, the flower was sold. Remembers a little on the "holy" remains that were brought over the Alps in the 16th and 17th century from Rome ... just to be grinded and used in the production of holy wafers and "Agni Dei" - well, that's worth a drink from the Red ...
