She's easily the most beautiful mummy I've ever seen.

@torledo Oh wow, I forgot about this completely, hahahahha.

Yeah though, I had to do research on the silk road for a college paper in my Art History class, and I had to keep rewriting it every week because it wasn't "perfect" by the teachers standards. So, in the end, I had to write three five-page papers, and study for my final exam, all in one night. This is why it caused me so much grief, because even after going to the exhibit, which was awesome, I could not find all that much information.

I hate the silk road. It has caused me so much grief and has nearly made me fail my art history class, so hats off to you. Also, yes, you should let the woman rest in peace. Why do archeologist always unearth dead bodies, it's disrespectful.
