The Mummy Returns: Egyptian Dignitary's Face and Brain Reconstructed

Of course not. There is always a bit of creepiness associated with mummies. That's one of the things that makes them so cool.

Very interesting article. I really enjoyed it. Good find, Claire!

Its not the mummy so much as the reconstructed face of a person not seen for thousands of years. I kinda get now why my sister finds statues and "anything with a face" a little creepy.

Give the dude a goatee and make him slightly less sexier, and he'd look like me.
