...this claustrophobic journey lies the door Weeks found, and the relatively spacious corridors beyond. It is here, as well as in two outermost rooms, that the artifacts were discovered-most of them broken. "Clearly," says Weeks, "the tomb was pretty well gone over in ancient times." The archaeologists have tracked down a record of one of those robberies, which occurred in about 1150 B.C. A 3,000-year-old papyrus fragment housed in a museum in Turin, Italy, recounts the trial of a thief who was caught in the Valley of the Kings. He confessed under torture that...

Beyond that, astronomers say, is the similarly composed Oort cloud, which forms a vast sphere...

Removal of skin cancers often creates large holes in the epidermis, or outermost layer of skin, which must be filled in, she says. The treatment of leg ulcers, large skin wounds which do not heal, is based on skin replacement...
