Comic Book Review: Forbidden Worlds Vol. 15 edited by Richard E. Hughes
Forbidden Worlds started as a horror anthology comic book series from American Comics Group in 1951.

NOVEMBER 27 - KATIE HUNT
When archaeologist Katie Hunt was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at 22, it catalyzed a deeper curiosity about cancer as an ancient disease. Delving into ancient texts and analyzing ancient human remains, Hunt discovered cancer’s presence in antiquity — recorded as early as 1,500 BCE, and in skeletal remains from as early as 6,000 BCE — but no tools existed for rigorous scientific analysis.
So, with three other women in science, Casey Kirkpatrick, Jennifer Willoughby and Roselyn Campbell, Hunt launched the Paleo-Oncological Research Organization — a network of archaeologists, oncologists and cancer researchers working to develop scientific research standards and techniques — and an open source database of physical evidence of cancer from many eras and regions.
This growing field of paleo-oncology will raise interesting questions about how biology, culture and environment affect development of the disease, helping us better understand its prevention and treatment.
“Biological anthropology — a physical science in a gentle embrace with social science—happens to be a field predominantly led by women, so I have the fortune of working with brilliant woman scientists every day,” says Hunt. “While sexism still exists in our lives, I’m privileged to witness a world in which women in science is commonplace and celebrated… And science is stronger for it!”
Text for today’s post was originally printed in a TED Fellows piece entitled “Meet 12 Badass Women Scientists… Who Also Happen To Be Women”.

““These practices would…underscore the significance of the burial places and the importance of bringing the dead to these locations in a manner that contained and protected the body, following principles that were culturally regulated,””

The golden moment that Tutankhamun’s coffin was discovered in Egypt in 1925
.
⚫Inside his giant red stone sarcophagus, which measures nearly 3 metres long and weighs well over a tonne, the wrapped mummy of Tutankhamun was buried in three separate coffins. ⚫The innermost coffin was made of solid gold,weighing 110.04kg.
⚫Tutankhamun’s sarcophagus (a box-like stone container) held not one but three coffins in which to hold the body of the king. ⚫The outer two coffins were crafted in wood and covered in gold along with many semiprecious stones, such as lapis lazuli and turquoise. The inner coffin, however, was made of solid gold.
