The beardless face and the position of the hands with fingers extended show that it was made to cover the mummy of a woman. Her identity is not known: the brief hieroglyphic inscriptions contain only short religious phrases, and omit mention of the name of the deceased. The high quality of the lid indicates that the owner was a person of high rank. It was usual for such ladies to participate in the musical accompaniments to the rituals in the temple of Amen-Ra; hence early British Museum publications described the owner of 22542 as a 'priestess of Amen-Ra'.

Answer 2

cause its bull...
i read papers written but college studens regularly and i can spot bs from a mile away...and this paper is full of it.

especailly this lil bit...The British Museum, obviously concerned about questions of legal liability for causing the Titanic disaster, has frequently issued official denials that their mummy was responsible.
No one in the world could be, would be, of has been convicted/sued in a modern day court on the basis of a curse. Any prosecutor would throw the case out before it ever reached a court. so to say that they would deny this because they want to avoid legal responsibility is a straight out lie. and where you find one lie you will find more.

also amen-ra is a god. there would not be a princess named the princess amen-ra. kings were thought to be the embodiment of a god but did not assume the mane of a know god. so to have someone called the princess of amen ra is bs. it just sounds good and like all good stories ya gotta have a catchy name

p.s. get real

It is very easy to come up with a sensational story that grabs everyone's attention..............the tabloids in the UK do it on a daily basis.

Regrettably, on many occasions, the writers do not allow small things like facts to get in the way of the story.......and many people believe that proper research is tedious, or they don't know what it is. (I've seen one correspondent on here post a huge chunk of crap about Cleopatra which was supposed to be "history", but actually turned out to be the musings of a supposed clairvoyant).

The sad fact is that many people will believe what they read without bothering to do any research on the sources or to check the facts. All you have to do is read some of the nonsense that gets on these forums on a regular basis.

I don't think the writers of these articles intentionally lie, but they conveniently alter the truth or fail to check facts, so that it fits their story.
