FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Link to articleThe ancient Egyptians left an immense legacy about their culture and daily life through inscriptions and representations on tomb and temple walls, documents on papyrus, and funerary objects. In addition, the hot dry climate and elaborate burial systems have left intact many human remains, including complete and partial skeletons. As a result, Egypt is a major source of information about how achondroplasia (the bone disorder that causes the most common type of dwarfism) was perceived in ancient times.

FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted December 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 "My majesty desires to see this pygmy more than the gifts of the mineland (Sinai) and of Punt." Pretty weird the Egyptians defniately are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
