	Tutankhamun- Appendix 1 The Death Of Tutankhamun
		Brier went on to conclude that it had broken away from the inside of the skull during Carter and Derry's quite violent stripping of the mummy back in 1925.
		Bob Brier's initial clue that foul play might have been involved in the death of the pharaoh came as he watched a BBC documentary in which Professor Harrison was asked to comment on his findings concerning the X-rayed skull of Tutankhamun.
		Brier concluded that, although the evidence presented by the X-ray was not proof of foul play, it added up to what the police might argue was an 'indication of suspicious circumstances'.

	C.W. Post Campus \| Press Releases
		Bob Brier concludes that Aye (pronounced "I") killed Tut as part of a conspiracy to dethrone him as King of Egypt.
		Bob Brier, who gained world-wide recognition in 1994 for making a modern-day mummy announced at a California news conference on January 17, 1997 that King Tutankhamen's murderer was probably none other than Tut's prime minister and closest confidant, Aye (pronounced "I").
		Brier is amazingly low key about this theory, and is quick to point out that he is far from the first to suggest murder and that the clues he has pieced together have been around for a long time, the products of other scholars' research.

	Mastering Mummification - Part II
		Dr. Bob Brier, a professor at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University, and several colleagues were about to delve into the mystery of Egyptian mummification.
		Brier also constructed a preparation table matching specifications of a table found in the early 20th Century that was apparently part of an ancient embalmer's cache.
		Brier and his colleagues determined that in order for the experiment work and for the mummification process to match that performed by the ancient Egyptians as closely as possible they needed someone who was relattively healthy at the time of death.

		Brier is a professor of philosophy at New York's Long Island University -- a credential that helps distinguish him in the eyes of the law from the less academic types who also enjoy corpse experimentation.
		In making his mummy, Brier duplicated Egyptian tradition down to the incense; this was the one exception: Where ancient mummifiers worked their craft on the rich and famous, Brier's crew wrapped a no-name.
		He was meticulous: After he had the natron, he picked up frankincense and myrrh in a Cairo spice market, imported palm wine from Nigeria (for flushing the abdominal cavity) and had a silversmith manufacture the bronze and copper knives, using the same percentage of tin that the Egyptians used.

		Brier presents his hypothesis in an engrossing tale that moves along at the pace of a well-crafted whodunit.
		As little is known about Tutankhamen's life, Brier reconstructs from wall paintings and hieroglyphic tablets and columns a perfectly plausible and fascinating picture of the boy-pharaoh's friendship with, then marriage to his half-sister Ankhesenamen and their daily life.
		When Brier wrote this book he was using somewhat old x-rays which revealed a blurry spot on the back of the king's skull.

	Return of the mummy makers
		So Bob Brier, an Egyptologist at Long Island University, decided the only way to find out if ancient historians had left out important details was to make his own mummy, following their instructions.
		In 1994, he and his colleague Ronn Wade from the University of Maryland got their hands on the fresh corpse of an elderly Baltimore man who had donated his body to science, and set to work.
		Their mummy is now seven years old, and shows no signs of deterioration-which suggests, says Brier, that simple dehydration is the key to mummification.

		But, as Bob Brier discovered in his own modern journey, “There’s no papyrus that tells exactly how to mummify a human.
		The Egyptians never wrote down how they did it.” So Brier set out to perform the first Egyptian style mummification in 2,000 years.
