The Thoughts of King Tutankhamun

"So here I am, dragged back from the afterlife.

Grave robbers I could have coped with. They would have taken the gold, taken the fancy stuff. But at least they'd have just chucked me on the floor.

But archaeologists - that's another matter. Eternity in a perspex box in a museum, looked at by spotty schoolkids. Neatly filed as an exhibit. That instead of the glories of Isis and Osiris, the welcome of Anubis, that's what they've sorted out for me.

Grave robbers would have been nice,"
