98. Speaking from the Grave p.171

Two students, Beth and Carl, are talking about the red-haired mummies.

B: Can you imagine what it was like 4,000 years ago?

C: That's hard to imagine. But if the mummies could speak, they could certainly tell us a great deal.

B: Well, that, of course, is impossible. But scientists can tell a lot from the things the explorers found.

C: I know. For example, they think the 4000-year-old mummies were Celts.

B: Who were the Celts?

C: They were ancient European people who settled in Britain even before the Romans existed.

B: Wow! That's amazing!

C: So you see, although mummies don't really speak, they are speaking from their graves.
