Tutankhamun

That's interesting.

Yeah, well, even Tutankhamun had an inclined camping bed, which folded up for when he was away from his realm.

Wow, what an interesting thing.

So have we seen any other ancient cultures with inclined beds like that?

And then the Bible talks about-- Like last night, we were talking, w-yes, last night it was.

We were talking about, um, uh, Tutankhamen-

Yeah

... and the civilizations and Memphis and how the Bible predicted that there wouldn't be a stone left-

I don't love when authors do really long titles, although I do appreciate how descriptive [laughs] this title is.

The title of this one is Dinner with King Tut: How Rogue Archaeologists Are Recreating the Sights, Sounds, Smells and Tastes of Lost Civilizations-

Whoa

... by Sam Kean.

I think near the Andes.

Currently in ancient Rome.

He does ancient Egypt, of course, 'cause King Tut, right? We wanna hear about mummies.

So he is really globe-trotting and going around and speaking with these experts.

And that's what stands out to me, is that if this was a curse situation, then it would matter.

It's like do King Tut's tomb kind of thing, right? Like there is something you can, if you want to make an argument for a curse, use something like that where you have almost everyone or everyone who came in contact with that having a reaction to it or a similar action happened to them.

Does that make sense?

Yes, and it's possible that there are.

Also,

we should totally do King Tut's tomb.

Oh, it's on my list.

Don't worry.

You know, and honestly, I'm going to tell you, I don't care what your background is.

I don't care if you're King Tut or, you know, you work at Canadian Tire or And, you know, there's no shame either way.

I just don't care about status.

What I care about is how you treat me.

Well, it's a certain amount of national pride.

I don't think they've ever forgiven the outside world for discovering Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922.

Because the idea that foreigners can come into your country and make the greatest discoveries ever is something that must be hated by the native Egyptian peoples.

And quite clearly there are dozens if not hundreds of different teams working at different sites in Egypt and almost all of them are foreign.

It, you know, it looked like it was petrified a little bit, but there it was.

So was it, like, King Tut petrified or what?

Yeah.

Yeah.

We think she was replaced.

King Tut, strange death in the 1920s, he was blamed for it.
