Extract

It would be presumption for a non-medical man to comment upon the anatomical findings of Professor Harrison and Dr Abdalla until the facts and the inferences that can be drawn from them have been fully published. This article, then, cannot claim to be more than a commentary and speculation on those facts that are at present available.

Footnotes

We asked Professor H. W. Fairman, Professor of Egyptology in the University of Liverpool, to write for us a brief commentary on the significance of the findings of their re-examination of Tutankhamun's mummy, reported by Professor Harrison and Dr Abdalla on pp. 8–14 of this issue. He says that it is hardly possible to present a final and definitive commentary on the results of the re-examination until they have been fully published and analysed.
