Mummy: Tutankhamun gets a face lift



CAIRO: -- A group of German and Egyptian scientists have braved the Mummy’s curse to carry out some important restoration work.

The bandages are about to go on the golden mask of Tutankhamun.

The world-famous artefact is to be fully restored, a year after the beard was knocked off and stuck back on with glue.

Expert Christian Eckmann:“There are basically two major components to this project: one is the de-attachment and re-attachment of the beard and the second, very important component is the comprehensive study of the material they used for manufacture as well as the complete manufacturing technique.”

There will be more bandages for the Mummy while the work is carried out.

The glue will be carefully scraped off and the beard removed.

It will be reattached after being carefully examined. A special scientific committee will decide on the best method to use.

Its dead not death and you and I will be the same some day without all this pomp and ceremony. He was just another one of the lucky ones whose sperm spouted from a rich spigot. Sadly he was cut down early in life and possibly literally cut down. I think the jury is still out on this one.
