Journalist:
- Could you tell us about your research on heroic
Egyptian kings?
Anthropologist:
- We found a skeleton that showed extensive battle
trauma. After examining his injuries, we
discovered that he had died due to the injuries he
got while on a horse.

Anthropologist:
- Previously, the Egyptian kings riding into battle
could only be seen in paintings and were thought
to be just aggressive depictions of the ruling

the kings actually joining their armies in battle.
