   Oh so rich & successful JTEM to All   
   Ramesses II: Something to piss off every   
   29 Nov 19 18:45:32   
   
   From: jtem01@gmail.com   
      
   Okay, so caught this old documentary on Amazon Prime.   
      
   Well not old but not new either. Sort of middling, I suppose.   
      
   Anyhow, I caught "Ramsesses II:  The Great Journey" and   
   it's a documentary guaranteed to piss off everyone. Well,   
   the millennials and/or "Social Justice" bed wetters for sure,   
   and me. But, for different reasons.   
      
   The reason why it pissed me off is that it makes me question   
   if any DNA "Evidence" from his mummy could ever be trusted.   
      
   First off, they mention parasites, that they infested the remains.   
   They don't say what kind of parasites by apparently he was   
   treated with mercury! They have him what they called a mercury   
   steam bath to cure him of his ills. But it didn't solve everything   
   and much, much later they dosed him with radiation!   
      
   Wow. Double whammy there...   
      
   Now I know that the amount of radiation makes a difference but,   
   cross that threshold and you're damaging what's left of the   
   DNA.   
      
   Gross.   
      
   So that's what pissed me off. What will piss off the Social Justice   
   bedwetters is the racial aspect... Oooo.... "Race."   
      
   So, what they were claiming, the people who inspected & treated   
   Ramsesses, is that he was "Mediterranean" -- a caucasian.   
      
   The problem there is that morons have no problem accepting all   
   the ethnic and even racial diversity in Eurasia, only to blow a   
   gasket if we dare suggest that Africa is not and never has been a   
   single homogenous population going back to erectus if not habilis.   
      
   The turds.
