The Pharaoh Speaks

My scientific teams are all Egyptian. No infidels!

Dr. Zahi Hawass is having another day in the media sun enjoying the revelations revealed today about the death of the Pharaoh Tut. Today and tomorrow Dr. Hawass will be on a press junket to glorify all that is himself Egypt.

Pharaoh Hawass couldn't be any more proud of his Egyptian scientists. Of course, he wouldn't allow the samples to be fiddled with by inferior infidels hell bent on claiming Egypt for themselves. He insists that all things Egyptian be handled only by Egyptians. The Third Reich would be so proud of this kind of patriotism.

The test results on the body of King Tut are pretty fucked up. Unlike, Dr. Hawass, the Boy King Tut, led an apparently miserable existence. He had a club foot and all kinds of medical problems. He fell and broke his leg which contributed to his eventual death from malaria. The "discovery" kind of sucks, really.

Look at the beauty of his death mask. That is the image that has been with us. Not the shriveled disease infected mummy with the bad luck story. The gold mask with the onyx lined eyes gazing at us from the past...that's Pharaoh Tutankhamen.
