Grafton Elliot Smith

The lady has a squarish jaw and a strong chin.

Elliot Smith, who first unwrapped her, described the lady as having a belloid or arrow-shaped head.

I'm not sure if that's complimentary or not.

He also described the body as extremely emaciated.

It started things off by doing sort of like science based examinations of mummies that they had on hand and people started to be interested in that.

So that like by 1903, which is like two years later, they're already X-raying the motherfuckers, which is exactly what Grafton Elliott Smith and Howard Carter did to Tutmose IV.

And chemical analysis also was just taking off right at that time, which Alfred Lucas from England was using around the same time as the X-ray to start identifying some of the embalming agents that were being used in ancient Egyptian mummification processes.

And now we're going to be talking about King Tut a little bit later in the time of the mummy since he gets his own whole episode because he has a curse and all that.

And in the meantime, here is a quote about Tutmos 4 and the truly high reading level kinds of things that they were already figuring out back then during their examinations and x-rays.

This is going to be for Jesse to read.

This is the words of Grafton Elliott Smith himself.

I forget what this book is called.

Nonetheless, there are strong doubts about its identification.

The great anatomist of the Egyptian mummies, Grafton Elliot Smith, studied it and considered it to be of a much later period, possibly the 18th dynasty.

If the pyramids were tombs, they should be viewed as the biggest failures in history because they have never protected their owners' bodies.

The lack of hieroglyphs in the Fourth Dynasty pyramids is still a weak spot of the pyramid tomb theory, especially if we recognize that Khufu's children have well-written and colorful inscriptions in their tombs at the Giza Plateau.
