Looking over this subject, I have carefully constructed a theory that King Tutankhamun died gradually from an infected wound caused by a battle wound while walking home from the battle. The first piece of evidence that proves this is that x-rays reveal that Tutankhamun had no knee cap and multiple leg wounds which look as to have been made by a sharp point. Secondly, there are many chariots and arrows in his tomb which indicate his involvement in wars. Thirdly, there were several walking sticks…

Disingenuity can be seen quite often in our society. I have always avoided it. I constantly try my best to live up to the word “genuine.” I have spoken to funeral directors on the job and I was floored by their dedication and willingness to serve others. Ever since I was a child I knew I had to pursue a profession that upheld these values. My decision to pursue mortuary science fell into place over the past few years; I have always been greatly interested in anatomy and psychology, and-above all…

“This “humble” tomb had remained hidden for 3000 years and had tricked tomb robbers and flash floods for many centuries(O'Connor)”. Davis was the first person to find items that led to the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb. “The first clue came from a famous cache”(O’Conner). These items were hidden in a safe tomb, and with more research the came to conclusions that the clay sealing of the cache, was done by Tutankhamun himself. Some scientists believe this royal cache was that tomb raiders. Among…

Mary Roach's nonfiction book, Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, humorously outlines the ways the human cadaver has served the living since the ancient Egyptians. The acceptance of death is difficult to accept, but Roach's book Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers manages to subjectively objectify the horrid experience of dying. Despite being nonfiction, Roach writes in a very opinionated tone that lightens the subject and makes her book a compelling and easy read as it describes…

Abolish prison by Pascal Emmanuel-Gobry is an article that verbally attacks the U.S. legal system, not only prisons but the sentences given to criminals that partaken in some serious crimes. Gobry only list two somewhat real reasons for prison changes, of which he does not support with any statistics that would make his argument somewhat valid. His proposed alternatives would not reform criminals in slightest, giving murderers minimum wage jobs and an anklet. How is that punishment? That sounds…

Dr. Ashraf Selim loved the heritage of his country and was asked to help solve a puzzle by using his knowledge. In 2005 an Egyptian team of radiologist and a group of foreign radiologist studied CT imagers of the mummified remain of Tutankhamun taken on a 6slice CT Siemens scanner. They were to determine what killed him and were given 3 months to do so. They had discrepancies in their interpretations so Dr. Selim was asked to help with the diagnosis. He discovered that King Tut’s trunk, limbs,…

are spots at some place of daguerreotype making it unclear. The shape of the picture is semi-circle from the top and rectangle from the bottom. A frame of such high standard depicts high-value people put to photography at that time. The couple embalming their last moments with their deceased baby also works as evidence of how highly society at that time valued…
