Again, this was 1909 and given x-rays weren't discovered until 1895, it seems unlikely the technology was available. |
Turtle, that was my point. It seems very unlikely that the early investigation would indicate all the mummies were male. Especially considering we often have to rely on x-rays and DNA test today. That seemed very suspicious to me.
So we're clear: Either the Smithsonian is covering something up, or the paper is a hoax? I can't think of another plausible explanation. Well, I've assumed the website I've linked isn't misquoting the Smithsonian. But, given that - can we say that one party is lying?
