ANCESTOR WORSHIP (May, 2007)

Product Code DIG0705

Why did the ancient Egyptians leave food and drink in tombs? Did the Etruscans think by putting a mask of a dead person on the urn filled with the person's ashes would allow the deceased to take part in the funeral banquet? How do corpse-eating insects help date artifacts found in a tomb? Why are the forms of so many people carved into the designs of the Wu family shrines? Any answers? Whether you say "yes" or "no," DIG is sure you'll find lots of intriguing facts and finds in this issue - and there's much more than just the answers to these four questions. DIG has also booked passage to the New World, Russia, Africa, and Easter Island. So, get your bags - and notebook - ready!
