...Hawass's team has explored four tombs, with a total of 105 mummies laid on top of one another in neat stacks. All told, the remains were interred in four distinct ways. One type was covered with a thin layer of gold. Another lay under lifelike masks made of plaster-coated linen, or cartonnage, that was painted with scenes of ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses, including Isis, Osiris, Horus and Anubis.

U.S. health officials worry about the theoretical risk that blood could be contaminated with mad-cow disease. Theoretical, indeed. There's no evidence yet that the brain disease can be transmitted by a blood transfusion...
