Re: The King's Bones.

They would have extracted his DNA from his bones I assume, then matched it with the DNA of his living descendents. I wonder who they are?

Re: The King's Bones.

What a stunning find, not quite Tutankhaman but just as exciting for archeologists. I look forward to the documentary on C4 tonight, I'm that excited I may even stay awake for it...
