Headless Statue and Cleopatra’s Tomb Heads Up

There are a couple of versions of the same article kicking around my mailbox and also being bounced around assorted sources on Twitter (including my own Exploratorraw autobot). The two I’ve come across so far are both ultimately via ANI and purport to be telling us new info in the search for Cleo’s tomb, specifically at Taposiris Magna. Here are the items in question:

• Headless Egypt king statue could give clues to Cleopatra’s tomb | New Kerala

• Headless Egypt king statue could give clues to Cleopatra’s tomb | Sify

… when I finally was in a position to actually connect with the articles (i.e. not at my school’s wonky connection), it turned out these items were just a repeat of a much-ballyhooed piece from National Geographic back in May of 2010:

• Headless Egypt King Statue Found; Link to Cleopatra’s Tomb?

… which we have already commented on:

• More Cleopatra Tomb Stuff

Just sayin’ …
