Cleopatra's tomb found. Maybe.

[spqrblues]

If it wasn't Zahi Hawass touting it for the past year, I'd be a lot more excited about the news now flooding the airwaves about the possibility archaeologists have found Antonius & Cleopatra's tomb. We'll see. I'm nervous about Hawass getting his hands on the real site. I suppose we'll be seeing a crazy documentary with Hawass manhandling mummies soon, and an exhibition with a high admission price. Well, whatever it takes to keep the museums running.

Wish #1: That I could make that documentary. Hey, it'd still be an amazingly cool project.

Wish #2: That the news outlets would stop arguing about whether Cleopatra was pretty or not. Of course, that's the only measure of a woman's worth and the only reason why two of the most powerful men in the world of her day found her a worthy partner. Hawass, stop talking about the size of her nose.

Wish #3: I wish I'd become an archaeologist. I squandered my chances, so too late for me now. I'll waddle off to my day job, scribble some webcomics, and whine annoyingly about it.

Well, it was a big dramatic image of him standing at the maw of an excavated tomb. I'll be gracious and say that maybe it was only on display as decoration next to the real posters. But I do remember believing it was on offer. Or maybe they were trying to get it out of there :D

I'm going to believe they wanted to be rid of them :D

I'm rather surprised they weren't signed or some crap hahahaha
