            They have her mummy. Which was what they were missing to complete her "profile". They can do a history, they know how old she lived to be, that she was diabetic, whatever. Just lets us know more about her personally, a little more interesting, don't you think?

            Would that be ancient knowledge from the Library of Alexandria? Yeah, shame that's gone.

            "The museum and library survived for many centuries but were destroyed in the civil war that occurred under the Roman emperor Aurelian in the late 3rd century AD; the daughter library was destroyed by Christians in AD 391." Library of Alexandria, Encyclopedia Britannica Article

            Always good to have the facts. Actually there are up to four "burn dates" starting with the battle with Caesar and Ptolemy XIII - Since the 18th century the Muslim destruction has largely been put down to Christian propaganda (which was book burning not building burning by the way). "Recently some historians, including Bernard Lewis, have argued that although the tale is certainly false, its true origin may be more complex". Library of Alexandria
