Many thanks to Aayko Eyma from EEF for forwarding me this piece from the Discovery Channel about the analysis of an unusual ancient Egyptian pillow: "Most ancient Egyptian pillows were rather uncomfortable-looking headrests carved out of wood, ivory and stone, but scientists have just analyzed a 4,000-year-old Egyptian pillow made out of woven plant fibers that were encased in a wax coating. The rare artifact, which dates to 2055-1985 B.C., suggests Cleopatra and other well-known ancient Egyptians may have snoozed on relatively fluffy pillows that perhaps biodegraded over time, leaving the hard headrests for modern archaeologists to find."

I haven't read the text yet but I think Anonymous is right. Add a few pics and they might actually WANT to read it. :D
As I have remarked often elsewhere on this blog, I go to some lengths to avoid infringing copyright. The idea is that you use the link on the post to go to the full article where the photographs will be found if there are any available.
