I always liked archeology I've done some digs with our local History society.. when I worked at our museum here in town.. I kind of studied egyptology on my own and I enjoy the dark ages

I love and I would love to live in the ages past but. There was a lot of things that would have been very hurtful body-wise that we know about today that we can fix

Hi Dr. Weale. Are there any plans for DNA testing on these remains?
