This year in history we are studying ancient Egypt. With that in mind, when I woke up this morning, after staying up late watching the RNC analysis, I was not up for school. We went ahead and completed our math lessons, an then headed to Ft. Worth to the Museum of Science and History's Omni Theater. We watched Mummies: Secerts of the Pharaohs, a great docu-drama with Egyptologists Dr. Bob Brier. It follows the cache of 40 royal mummies, including 12 Kings of Egypt, in a single tomb. Among them were three of the greatest pharaohs that ever lived: the legendary Rameses the Great—considered to be the pharaoh of the Exodus and perhaps the only face the world can see from the Bible—his father Seti I, and his son. The film discused they were doing extensive testing to determine how these Pharaohs died. . . . hmmm, do you think they'll find water in Rameses lungs?
