Oh well, since your public posts have been so kind and lovely to me. Please, excuse me that i don't run breathlessly to my home computer to read your PM's to me. FYI, most of my posting is done at work with my supervisors permission during downtime. She asks that i just don't do personal emails, IM's or PM's and i accept these limitation. But i could infer that with the wonderful posting you have made public to me once again... but i'll be honest. i rather do as my supervisor asks than read your lovely PM's here.
If you can hold your horses, i fully intend to read your private literacy masterpieces to me on my days off... i am such a glutton for pleasure. Check back Monday or Tuesday i'll deal with them then. Thank you for your time, understanding, and patience

As this is off topic let's stop i won't be back unless it is about King Tut, one of my favorite dead guys.

Check your pm's. You have been so quick to say that this discussion should be on pm's--but obviously, you do not check yours. I've sent you two, and have yet to receive a reply.[/quote]

Don't bother--this sensless bickering must stop. I'm reminded of a quote--I think attributed to Oscar Wilde--"I refuse to have a mental duel with an unarmed person".
'Nuff said...

*ahem* No flaming. Back on topic.

Please excuse me for saying intemperate things publically.
I promise that no more flaming will be done on my part.

Osiris II

Okay we are going to close down the Queen who was Pharoah topic because of a discussion about reincarnation; YET.... we are going to let this type of WAR exist as part of the board? What's going on at kingtutone.com these day's?
It is hard to hold some people's interest for long and I think this should be considered when closing a topic w/out warning or due to personal opinion. If it's flaring (RED), than by all mean's close it (exception: unless you are part of the board); and then of coarse be just like the rest of corporate America and be power hungry!
Times they are a changing!!!!

Exert's from Carter:
The burial chamber, or sepulchral chamber, contained the mummified Tutankhamen. Gorgeous in its architectural execution, upon entering the small room, a huge shrine was erected to protect the king's sarcophagus. Grandiose in size, the shrine left little room for navigation. Carter explains the dimensions of the shrine as "So enormous was this structure (17 feet by 11 feet, and 9 feet high) that it filled within a little the entire area of the chamber, a space of some two feet only separating it..." Despite its narrow appearance, the walls of the burial chamber were exquisite decorated. When opening the shrine at its east end, another shrine was underneath the first one. This shrine was bolted and sealed, which erupted an emotion unbearable to all those on the excavation team because it meant the sarcophagus, hence Tut's body, lay untouched. After careful attention to the structure of the shrine, it was revealed that in fact, four shrines protected the mummy of the deceased pharaoh. Each shrine was encrusted with gold leaf and inscribed with the traditional spells and writings that promise the passage of the king to eternity. Also noted, each shrine was built as a framework or box to protect the pharaoh, being that, each inner shrine had no floor. Beneath the last shrine was the sarcophagus of King Tutankhamen. Its lid was made of pink granite, painted to compliment the base, and protected three coffins that enclosed the body of the boy king. Directly under the sarcophagus, was the first coffin that was wood overlaid with painted gold. The second coffin was also decorated in the same flare. Only the final third coffin held a surprise, its structure was entirely of solid gold!

Bravo! I agree totally! You really should unblock our thread, Jean

Alright, alright, reopened by popular demand, however keep in mind there is a thread already for religions and stuff. I really think this is a bad idea, so ANY flaming whatsoever and it's closed again, no questions asked.

Grazie!

I am also facinated with ancient egypt. I guess that Tutankhamen is so well know is because his tomb was so intact when it was excavated.

Are these messageboards dead?

I hope not because I could be at Legionworld or Comix-fan.
Or writing that biography.

no

Took a quick stop at Legionworld. Man,those people sure know how to have fun.
Went back to Comix-fan and posted a few more things.
Sooner or later I'll have to write Prince Namor's biography but that can wait.

Tutankhamun

?? What did that mean? ...
