When will this be mentioned on C2C? I'm guess Quayle, and some other guests, might like the 7+ft tall mummy and the issue of red-haired and blonde mummies.

Note that these tombs apparently aren't from Egyptian-controlled times but more modern (Roman/Byzantine) and also aren't like the "traditional" mummies (organs removed, preserved in honey, wrapped a certain way, sarcophagi, etc) but more likely preserved due to the soil and arid region. So you won't be able to grind them up to make your "mummy powder" to cure what ails you as the did in the old days. Still an interesting find and they aren't quite sure what to make of it since there, apparently, weren't large cities in the area.

Attention: Camazotz Automat's annual Victorian themed "mummy unwrapping party" has been canceled this year due to a lack of authentic supplies. Those who confirmed attendance will instead receive a scarab amulet party favor cast in bone colored resin via U.S. post.

We will not stoop to the level of desecrating the more modern Roman corpses. We might as well dig up your Aunt Edna.

Also, please cease with the emails suggesting we kidnap Billy Mumy and "make him own it."

It's not funny.
