For decades, scientists said 2,500-year-old coffin was empty. Then they looked inside

[Disir]

Researchers at the University of Sydney got their hands on an Egyptian coffin more than 150 years ago.

Since then, the 2,500-year-old sarcophagus — assumed to be empty — sat in a museum, according to BBC. The truth didn’t come out until last year, when researchers opened up the ancient artifact and saw what was inside.

They found the remains of a mummy. Researchers opened the coffin in June to take pictures of the hieroglyphics underneath, according to Mashable, and found human feet, ankles and other bones. It’s believed that the remains came from a single person who was at least 30 years old.

But what if the remains are from someone that was murdered 145 years ago?

This is going to be kind of cool.

To bad a cat didn't jump out.

They should have gotten Geraldo Rivera to open it up on camera.

I mean to make up for that stupid "Al Capone's Vault" segment he did back in '86.

Sounds like a great short story, or one of those old school Old Time Radio suspense episodes.

I recently heard that idiot Geraldo insinuate that the Austin bombing suspect went to Gun Shows, bought ammunition, disassembled it and used the powder to make his explosives.

That's how stupid that asshole is.

Was he still "juicy"? Any scarab beetles to be concerned with?

What an idiot. Who would go through that much trouble when they could buy all the 1-pound cans of reloading powder they want at the same gun show?

Besides, smokeless powder burns too slow for pyrotechnics.

Jeez, Geraldo.

BINGO.

Smokeless powder does not detonate at all, unless contained at pressures so high as to make it stupid to try while black powder can be easily obtained in any store that sells hunting supplies or even manufactured with a few easy to acquire components.

In this instance, when the stubbier .308 cartridge was placed into the .270 rifle, it was sufficiently shorter that the action locked it into the firing chamber. However, the far end of that chamber and the bore (internal diameter) of the rifle were too small for the bullet. Standard pressure for cartridges in this category is in the range of 50,000 pounds per square inch. When the oversize bullet hit the too-narrow part of the chamber-into-bore continuum, the steel of the rifle was stronger than the copper-jacketed lead of the bullet and refused passage — and pressure spiked to an uncontainable level. Basically, the rifle violently exploded.

There was blood on the table and on the ground when we got there, and pieces of the rifle had been blasted over a wide radius. I doubt that we recovered them all. The shooter was severely lacerated, and because he was not wearing adequate eye protection, he suffered serious injuries to both eyes. He was not totally blinded, but he sustained injuries which, the doctors said at the time, would result in permanent visual impairment.
