adminsr writes to tell us the Discovery Channel is reporting that an Egyptian-led research team claims to have found compelling new evidence relating to the cause of death of King Tutankhamen From the article: "According to the Italian doctors, it was likely that King Tut suffered a violent blow, most likely by a sword. The blow would have lodged gold fragments from the decorations of the Pharaoh's armour or dress into the knee."

Better yet, wear perfectly ordinary steel armor. That way every enemy archer won't be able to aim at you from the other end of the battlefield. Wearing an armor that screams "target me !" just to appease your vanity is a really stupid thing to do.

All that golden splendor, but killed for want of a shrubbery. Tragic, really.
