@ 10,000 Mummies Found In Egypt- Many Covered In Gold. "They lay as though
expecting us. Lined up in rows, heads toward the aisle and faces up, they
waited for the laborers to lift the protective plastic sheets that a few
months ago they did not need. Now they stretched impassively on... sand-
stone shelves as we stomped discourteously into their forever- disrupted
home. Yet they bore it gracefully. Their crumbling gilded face masks (and
sometimes, just crumbling faces) betrayed no embarrassment as we photogra-
phed them with flash cameras, and talked about them like objects in lang-
uages that did not even exist during their former lives. And then we left,
as clumsily as we came. http://www.projectduat.com/bahareya-mummies/
