wow... the marvels of modern technology, eh?

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Who really cares? Now when they do this for a case today to identify someone's remains (ala Bones) to solve a crime or whatever, awesome. Beyond that, who cares about this 1,500 year old skeleton? A servant at that!

Wow if they can do that to see what a girl look like, perhaps they can use the machine to see what dinosaurs look like.

That's pretty cool,but the title of the thread is a little misleading:

scientists resurrect buried-alive 16-year-old servant girl

Sounds like she was brought back to life...like in a zombie movie.

 

[Will E Worm]

They have digitally recreated what they believe she looked like.

Who really cares?

You do. :tongue:

Exactly. That was what I was expecting.

For what it is worth, I thought it was pretty cool - though like others, I expected to read a story of resurrection. I even shot a couple of zombies, thinking their invasion had begun. Turned out to be a pizza delivery guy.
Pizza was good, though.

this technology could easily be put to the test by simply giving the researchers a skeleton of a person you have photographs of alive, that they of course haven't seen. i'm sure they would look very different.

Maybe they could resurrect my 16-year-old sex drive...:banana:

Yeah, like noone ever tested that before... unbelievable...

The views some people have on scholars and scientists are almost unbelievable and sometimes even disrespectful. You know the kind of workload most scientists have? I know scholars and scientists that work 60 to 80 hour weeks without a secretary or a big office, conzeptualizing and arranging classes, tests, exams etc., grading papers, holding consultation hours, conducting experiments or surveys, keeping up on the research of others, translating sources, composing and writing essays, articles, monographs etc., organizing symposia, fighting with politicians and bureaucrats over budget cuts... mostly with a salary of about 50,000 or 60,000 $ a year.
And all they get from some people is disrespect as if they're god knows how stupid. You know who also hated scientists? Hitler. There I said you. You knowlegde-nazis.
