    Archaeologists report having found a very well preserved momified head of an unknown Pharaoh in a place they keep secret (for obvious reasons) in the desert of Egypt.

    that SANDY DESERT PATINA- that looks suspicious but the big carbon footprint all around is a key to the dating which of the new kingdom pharaoh men
