No attack took place, and after three days, the embassy in Pretoria and three consulates reopened. But with South Africa...
...unearthed in 1922. A new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that King Tut most likely died after a severe bout of malaria and complications from a leg fracture. The evidence, obtained through DNA testing performed by Egyptian, German and Italian researchers, would explain the hundred or so walking sticks found in Tut's tomb and contradicts earlier theories that he was murdered...
