In 2006 I moved to Qatar and things are not what many people in North America would expect - it is not like how the Middle East is portrayed in the media. I'm also a fan of skepticism and science so wondered how this works here in Qatar. Since I'm here for a while I figured I'd use the time to get to know this country better and with this blog you can learn along with me. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - So what posts have been popular recently . . .

Titanic Rumours
Since all the papers have been covering the 100th anniversary of the Titanic, I figured I would take a moment to point out that the story that a cursed mummy was on the Titanic is not true.
Snopes.com is a fantastic website and I usually have to refer someone to it at least once a month. They try their best to investigate rumors and legends that sprout up across the Internet. Bookmark it!
From there I started doing some surfing on mummies, which led me to websites about the Valley of the Kings. Did you know that excavation of KV5 is still going on? Apparently it's got over 130 rooms! Check it out.
Man, Rameses II had a lot of children . . .
