    I'm two minded about such discoveries. I love the history and knowledge these discoveries give us. It's important to know where we came from and how we evolved as humans. However, the reason the bodies were so lovingly entombed was so their mortal remains could be undisturbed. It seems disrespectful to disturb their rest.

    The first mummy scanned looks to be the height of a child or adolescent.
    It's a shame that the skeleton has crumbled so much. But, if teeth are still intact, maybe there's a chance of recovering DNA. It would be a way to verify if the two are related: mother/daughter for example.
    It's breathtaking to see how far archaeology has progressed since king Tut was unearthed a hundred years ago.
    Not just by embracing medical science technology, but the extent to which Egyptians themselves are involved as the scientists. They speak an English we can all understand; and some on that team can read THREE unrelated alphabets.
    The level of education is quite an achievement. But apparently that's what it to arrive at this next level of discovery.
    Also, highly appropriate that Egyptian experts are on top of these latest discoveries because of what the first DNA analyses revealed about 20 years ago. Many modern Egyptians are related to and descended from the very people who created these marvels thousands of years ago
    A first-rate documentary. It hasn't been dumbed down, nor dramatized. Thank you, and bravo!

    2 Years ago, when my grandma passed away, we had to open our grandpa's tomb, yess tomb at our family's mausoleum. Our grandpa passed away 18 years ago. Maybe it was their wish to be buried together. After consulting with the elders, we prepare rituals as per tradition. When we finally opened the tomb, I was shocked that they had to open the coffin of my grandpa. I was like "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO OPEN IT?! Even After 18yrs, there still flesh remain and intact. and after checking, we cleaned and changed the cloth that covers the body and put some things which my grandpa loves. I cannot explain what I was feeling at that time opening a tomb and a coffin after 18yrs. It was overwhelming and unexplainable feeling.
    Watching this reminds me of that time.

    When they ply the stone out, I was waiting for the toxic gas to shoot out just like in the movie

    I understand how curious people like archaeologists and myself are, send it were interested in finding out our true history. I don't think we were supposed to open these things. That's clearly while they were built the way they were built they didn't want people in there, are you not disturbing the transcendental cosmic journey of your people by doing this.
