Ancient Origins has been quoted by:
At Ancient Origins, we believe that one of the most important fields of knowledge we can pursue as human beings is our beginnings. And while some people may seem content with the story as it stands, our view is that there exist countless mysteries, scientific anomalies and surprising artifacts that have yet to be discovered and explained.
The goal of Ancient Origins is to highlight recent archaeological discoveries, peer-reviewed academic research and evidence, as well as offering alternative viewpoints and explanations of science, archaeology, mythology, religion and history around the globe.
We’re the only Pop Archaeology site combining scientific research with out-of-the-box perspectives.
By bringing together top experts and authors, this archaeology website explores lost civilizations, examines sacred writings, tours ancient places, investigates ancient discoveries and questions mysterious happenings. Our open community is dedicated to digging into the origins of our species on planet earth, and question wherever the discoveries might take us. We seek to retell the story of our beginnings.
You're right and they sloppily glued it back on!! Outrageous!
I know!!! And as a crafty person, that bugs me because I go to great lengths to make projects as perfect as possible...who was doing the gluing? Lucy and Ethel? Kramer from Seinfeld? I mean the whole story seems like a sitcom plot line...they actually talked about it on our local morning radio station yesterday...which surprised me!!!

perhaps they employed that Nun who took it upon herself to re-paint over the canvas of Jesus in that old church a few years back!!! lol

Not that big of a deal, just my opinion. Since the burial mask is NOT Tuts face, and was not made for him. The mask was origonally made for a female, (holes in ears) and so the attackment of the beard would have been second hand anyways, and not a percise fit (like most of the mask). Still an interesting story. Makes me wonder on how we will keep preserving ancient artifacts in light of new age technology. Will we be more focused on preserving the process or the product?
There is always another secret
Hopefully a little bit of all of it!
