In what archaeologists are calling a “dream discovery,” a team digging in the sands of the Saqqara necropolis south of Cairo found a tomb with a hidden room containing an intact, 3,200-year-old sarcophagus covered in hieroglyphs. The tomb was the burial site of a high-ranking official, the kingdom’s treasurer, who served the celebrated and long-ruling Pharaoh Ramesses II.
What do you think about this important discovery?
“Did you know Ramesses II not only conquered part of Syria and annexed territory from the Hittite empire, but he also defeated an army of pirates? I dabble in archaeology when I get bored watching birds outside the window.” – Hester, 8, house panther
“That rogue Carter thinks he can outdo me with this sarcophagus nonsense? Everyone knows I am the superior archaeologist!” – Mortimer Augustus Furfellow, 13, professor emeritus
“Wow, this Egypt place is a HUGE litterbox! Litter as far as the eye can see!” – Sammy, 5, box enthusiast
“Put it back! Seal it up! What’s wrong with you people, haven’t you seen The Mummy?!” – Nervous Norman, 10, overgroomer
“CHECK IT OUT, MY TONGUE HAS LITTLE SWORDS ON IT! EN GARDE!” – Gingerbread, 10 months, biologist kitten
“That was more than 2,700 years before the discovery of the New World and its most valuable resource, turkey. Pity the ancient Egyptians, for they never tasted the glorious bird.” – Angel, 3, foodie
Pain In The Bud 
How does little Buddy feel about this discovery? Is he an amateur archeologist or does he dwell exclusively in the here and now?

I feel like the lack of any possibility of turkey, by virtue of the fact that it wasn’t discovered yet, would preclude Buddy from serious interest in such non-turkey matters. Then again, ancient Egypt is pretty cool, and the Sphinx is a cat, and that litter box they call a desert is very roomy…

I must admit that a tiny thought akin with Nervous Normans did come to mind!
And what was professeur Buddys views on all this?

Yeah, I mean, do these people not read the warnings on the tombs? They’re pretty clear: Keep out or biblically bad things are gonna happen, involving locusts and stuff!
