... I know that some people find it disgusting ... Yet you can not imagine that the publication of that report, so far only published in English in the journal Journal of American Medical Association , really enjoy the extreme ... In a word, I licks the last few days reading all I can find on the subject, to the detriment of more important work I have to do ... Ecce Ogro!

Below is an article from one of the many magazines and many newspapers to have published on the subject and signed by Jean-Luc Goudet . Posted here and slightly increased by a number of details found elsewhere, or in my own library ... (Which the author wants to forgive me ... others will see the main source of this article ...) ... I have shown with what I found in my cupboards ... And then, I promise, I do not make you too long ... Faith is not a custom (Jacques Prévert) ...

The genetic analysis are discussed. Tutankhamun was not the son of Nefertiti.

It would be the result of incestuous love of Akhenaten, the pharaoh, and a sister. As for the early death of the young pharaoh, she would be due to malaria and without may have been precipitated by some genetic defect.

The ineffable Dr. Zahi Hawass the man in the Stetson screwed on head to the image of Indiana Jones, his hero, told the world press this Wednesday, February 17 at the Cairo museum, the results of genetic analysis conducted on several mummies, including that of Tutankhamun.

The study, conducted by teams of Faculty of Medicine of Cairo, the Egyptian National Research Centre, University of Tübingen (Germany) and Eurac (Italy), has just been published in the Journal of the American Medical Association . It sheds new light on the strange fate and if short of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun, also indicating the affiliations of the royal family over five generations.

Historians, Tutankhamun is the son of Amenhophis IV (or Amenhotep IV) and his wife Nefertiti. [...] This reduces the original Pharaoh the power of priests and established the cult of Aten, the solar disk, the point of changing its name to Akhenaten, "he who pleases Aton".

At his death, the religious power has its revenge and restore the orthodox beliefs, in which the god Amun (the god "hidden" ... and therefore the opposite of the god that is visible to all Aton ...) takes a principal role.

The very young pharaoh, age 9, Tutankhaton is rechristened and named Tutankhamun. Died very young (19 years), he was buried with pomp, as evidenced by his famous mummy richly adorned.

In 2005, Zahi Hawass and his team began a series of studies on the mummy. A CT scan analysis (or positron) reversed the hypothesis of murder, based on the presence of a hole in the skull (which would have been charged at the time of mummification). Today, DNA analysis tells us much about the young pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, who lived in the 14th century BC. AD.

In language Egyptologist, DNA is the son of Tutankhamun KV55 and KV35YL. Plain language of Akhenaten and the Young Lady. The mummy found in tomb KV55 numbered effect is attributed to the fourth pharaoh Amenhotep (Akhenaten alias ...). As for the KV35YL mummy, nicknamed "Young Lady" (Young Lady), it was thought previously that it was none other than the beautiful Nefertiti. But she also underwent genetic testing and its DNA shows that she was the sister of Akhenaten. Moreover, genetic studies also indicate that Akhenaten was the son of Amenhotep III and Tiy, as the Young Lady's tomb KV35YL, which may not be Nefertiti, Zahi Hawass concluded.

Tutankhamen is well legitimate son of his father (some Egyptologists were by his brother) but not the wife of his father. His mother was the sister of his father ... Incest was customary in the royal lineages of ancient Egypt and the fact is not surprising. Tutankhamun has also been married to Ankhesenpaamon (nee Ankhesenpaaton), daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti and therefore his half-sister ...

Other mummies studied, those of Yuya and Tuya, would, respectively, the father and mother Tiye and therefore the grandparents of Akhenaton. The mystery remains, however, for two fetuses found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. It would be the father, says the DNA, but their mother remains unknown.

DNA test results also indicate the causes of premature death of Tutankhamen. Many theories have circulated, the latest being that of gangrene after a meteoric drop tank. The researchers identified the genes of a parasite known Plasmodium falciparum malaria agent (or malaria). The disease was also detected in three other family members. Tutankhamen's parents have also bequeathed him a few flaws, including disease Köhler necrosis of bone that deforms the foot pain and generates painful (hence, presumably, the presence of numerous rods found in the tomb of the latter ...)

Another theory is refuted, that of Marfan syndrome, which could explain the physical, surprisingly rangy, representations of the royal family, simply idealized by artists who followed the fashion of the time, making the figure of a pharaoh worship.

With malaria, birth defects and bone necrosis, Pharaoh ephemeral does not seem to have a great chance to live long. The young man found his revenge on destiny through the pomp its mummification, who is a celebrity 34 centuries later, when Howard Carter discovered his tomb in 1922.

Ten thousand bombs


V drunk a war, it changes a soldier. Living a civil war, things change very likely anyone. Living ten years, twenty years of civil war, I can not imagine what it can do on the mind human. From Beirut to war in the 1980s, I had read or seen that practically stories outside by journalists, analysts say. Or some internal evidence, but generally "Warriors".

With De Niro's Game of Rawi Hage (Denoël editions, collection Folio, 2008, ISBN 978-2-07-040251-9), is a different vision of Beirut war that I discovered. That of everyday life, family ties and neighborhood quarrels, joints between friends and boyfriends watched, the shop at the corner and siphoning gas. This, too, of families separated between East and West Beirut Beirut, Beirut-exile. That naps on the roofs of houses and hours of anguish in basement shelters. That of bombs that punctuate the day, life.
Beirut systematic bleeding by militias who bully, extort, and therefore leaders, murderers and corrupt spineless, live like princes. Beirut hope and despair, Beirut where you want to stay or you want to leave for somewhere else better. But this also does is it really better? Leaving Beirut cookie is there with you throughout this city, this war?

Rawi Hage's novel is rich. Rich language (I can not wait to read the original version, but I welcome the translation of Sophie Voillot), rich characters, rich in emotions. Rich winks, too, the film by Michael Cimino Journey to the End of hell (The Deer Hunter , 1978) to which the title and a scene of the novel (Russian roulette) refer directly, and Apocalypse Now (1979) by Francis Ford Coppola (the enemy militias shooting himself over almost blindly in hurling insults), two films about the contemporary period as a framework to the book.

To say more would rob you of pleasure to read this book if you have not read it yet. A five star thriller, one of the most gripping I have ever read a long time.

Tamil Words In Marrage

Not bitten Anubis


J 'I dropped my guard, I let my vigilance asleep a few moments, and I borrowed (Editions du Masque collection Labyrinths, 1998, ISBN-13 978-2702496084 ; original title: Place of Anubis Murder in the Place of Anubis , 1994), Lynda S. Robinson (for the curious, the S is for Susan), the multimedia library. I had yet made a sort of promise, that no longer look on me too "historical thrillers" written in the chain, except for those with true quality write (I already said, for example, although I think the ancient Roman-thrillers Lindsey Davis ).
police Mysteries of Ancient Egypt, it does not lack in bookstores, Paul C. Doherty (the author on the half-dozen pseudonyms) Lauren Haney, passing not Christian Jacq and Serge Brussolo. And I've already read a lot, love me some filled, others dropped me from the hands.
Place of Anubis lies somewhere in between: a novel that I have not nailed to the chair without me driving trouble falling asleep. Let's say I found a mystery novel very classical, not really a Machiavellian plot, with people who lack depth (perhaps they have found over the novels of the series, that it is only the first?), and exotic-colored history both fun and somewhat agreed.
Read this novel, it was like I was walking on a path that I had not yet come but like many other roads on which I was already past. A walk with no surprises.

If you have not read any antico-Egyptian thriller, it will perhaps remember your attention. But readers of thrillers confirmed may not find enough material to be truly suspenseful bitten by the jackal-headed god.

L e Challenge 5 continents, consisting of five novels chronicle, one per continent, is revived for 2010 .


I greatly appreciated to participate (even if I got taken at the last moment ...) and discover what other participants had chosen their side, to put forward. I will therefore participate in the 2010 edition. I have no preconceived idea to build my "Top 5 list, I think instead I will do that according to my discoveries and my desires.


But I do have some ideas of lists "theme" that I trot to a corner of the mind: for example, five female writers, or five detectives foodies. The coming months will tell if I can take a particular direction or if I will stick to usual strolls.

Brownie B's Patch Placement

Coquinare Ogrorum Is ...



Detail of a mural ; found at the Villa of Poppaea at Oplontis (near Pompeii)


I here was several provisions, persons using this name. The most famous of them was a cook who served the emperors Augustus and Tiberius, which lived between 25 BC. BC and 37 AD. AD ..

Several authors, including Pliny the Elder, Seneca and Tacitus refer to it. Seneca, in particular tells the following anecdote:

"Today Apicius lived. In the same town where you drove the idiots happy as corrupting the youth, he has taught the art of good food and it infected the century of his science. His death is worth it tells it. Having spent his kitchen 100 million sesterces [3 to 4 million euro], after taking each of his orgies all income from the Capitol, being burdened with debts, he had the idea to do for the first time, the account of his fortune. He counted his remaining 10 million sesterces [300 to 400 thousand euro] and, as if he had to live in the torments of hunger with its 10 million sesterces, he poisoned himself. What should be its corruption and its splendor, while 10 million sesterces he represented the indigent? "

Rich, voluptuous, he spent a fortune on feasts. He opened a school where the son of gluttony patricians jostled more than in the gardens of the great philosophers. His name has become a reference, and was adopted as a treaty under Roman cuisine, which, in its present form dates from the fifth century.

The second lived in the first half of the first century (according to some, in the fourth century). He is the author of the treatise gourmet we know, the De Re coquinaria , collection of recipes organized by ingredients and dishes. In its current form, the treaty, meanwhile adjusted, completed, dates from the fourth century. It is unclear if the author was actually the name or used as a pseudonym by reference to precedent.

This treaty kitchen that appeared under the name of Caelius Apicius is one of the first textbook of culinary art in the history of mankind.

* The garum or Liquamen (which means "juice" or "sauce" in Latin) was sauce, the main condiment used in Rome from the Etruscan period and in ancient Greece. It was fermented fish that long in a large quantity of salt to prevent decay. It was an ingredient in many dishes, especially because of its strong salty taste.

garum The most famous, "said garum allies (garum sociorum), was manufactured in Betic (including Baelo Claudia), southern Spain today so in Andalusia, from the bluefin tuna that migrate from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean. The result was a large fish, including salted product was marketed. Garum it was developed with the blood, eggs, and the digestive system of fish, mixed with a large amount of salt (at least 50% of total volume). The presence of salt inhibits the natural breakdown, maceration occurs probably through the action of digestive juices tuna. It is therefore not a putrefaction.

garum Some lower quality, prepared directly from the flesh of tuna or other fish (such as mackerel), were made throughout the Mediterranean basin. All these were marketed in garum amphorae amphorae were small, considering the price of content. It also sold the Allec, cheaper, that was what was left over when the liquid had been removed.

garum The flavor is closer to that of Vietnamese fish sauce.

It is the source of pissala pissalat or a condiment neighbor garum, consumed in the Nice area.

** The history of foie gras goes back to ancient Egypt (murals of old tombs in Saqqara 4500 years) . The Egyptians force-fed several species of waterfowl birds, including geese, using roasted grains and pellets moistened. However, we have no evidence of use of liver fat in the diet in Egypt (or text or pictures in the Cairo Museum and the Musée du Louvre): many ancient peoples like the Chinese since 4500 years in the south-west France until the nineteenth century have played or practiced force-feeding geese and ducks for animal fat in meat (fat used to preserve food for lighting and cooking) and not to get livers fat. Later the practice spread throughout the Mediterranean region. The Greek poet Cratinus evokes the fifth century BC. AD

The practice continued under the Roman Empire. Pliny the Elder mentions the feeding of geese with dried figs. In the fourth century, of Apicius De re coquinaria gives his first recipe. The liver produces Jecur ficatum name, which translates literally as' liver with figs. The former retained only the term or ficatum fig for his name, which gave shape figido the eighth century, then Fédié, Feie the twelfth and final "liver". However, this root is not found in French, Italian, Portuguese, English and Romanian.

tradition of foie gras has been perpetuated after the fall of the Roman Empire in Central Europe, in communities Jewish. Jews frequently used goose fat for cooking because the meat with butter and lard they were forbidden. In addition, olive oil and sesame were difficult to obtain in Europe and Central West. We have no evidence (texts, pictures) from the practice of force-feeding and the use of foie gras in southwestern France in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

Thus, if traditional, two French regions, the Southwest and Alsace, dispute the authorship of this food festival, origin of liver fat is actually very old.

Maize is native to Central America, feeding on corn arrived late. Gavage with figs is historic, now ...
