An old mans'pub.

[Who2]

The Shakespeare's Head.
A flat roofed pub just behind Sadlers Wells Theatre. (Flat roofed pubs are always know as 'dodgy)
It's a proper Sunday boozer full of old Londonders and covered in photos of old actors,
flocked wallpaper and atmosphere.
The landlord, George knows his clientele well.

Interesting, if confusing, article.

On the one hand it states, categorically....

It has been dated to the Old Kingdom, proving that mummification techniques some 4,000 years ago were highly advanced.

but then goes on to say.....

“If this is indeed an Old Kingdom mummy, all books about mummification and the history of the Old Kingdom will need to be revised.”

You’d think they’d get the dating of this mummy agreed before upturning and revising the history.
