Claude Mariottini calls attention to a funny archaeology joke. At least he thinks it is funny, and I agree.
An archaeologist was digging in the Negev desert in Israel and came upon a casket containing a mummy. After examining it, he called the curator of a prestigious natural history museum.
“I’ve just discovered a 3,000 year old mummy of a man who died of heart failure!” the excited explorer exclaimed.
The curator replied, “Bring him in. We will check it out and see if your calculations are correct.”
A week later, the amazed curator called the archaeologist. “I don’t know how you guessed so accurately, but you were right on target about the mummy’s age and cause of death. How in the world did you know?”
Like Dr. Mariottini did, I will send you here for the punch line.
