The note was found in the clothes of an unidentified submariner after his body was pulled from the vessel by deep-sea divers, said Klebanov, who read parts of the mes sage after a meeting of the government commission in vestigating the Aug. 12 disaster. The note was written around 1 p.m. that day, Klebanov said, about an hour and a half after the submarine was tom apart by explosions and sank to the bottom of the Barents Sea. All 118 aboard eventually died. Officials say most died immediately after the explosion. Klebanov said he could not read the whole note, but would give the “sense” of it. He then read from a piece of paper and appeared to give at least some of the contents word for word. The note itself was not shown. Like a message found earlier on the body of sailor, the note said 23 survivors of the initialei had gathered in the 9th compartment, towardtl the vessel. The other note, written by It. Kolesnikov, said sailors crowded into thepil compartment after explosions in the submarine’so it to the bottom of the sea. 66 We feel bad ... the press rn is increasing in the comp ment.-.ifweheadfortl sutface we won't survive compression” read from a note by an unknown of Kursk subr Kolesnikov’s family said that the deathcei! they were given by the government listed the death as carbon monoxide poisoning.

Tut’s lineage question answered by genetics News in Brie China corrupte get death penal N< Sc de wa or Bi de in Agri CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — Experts announced DNA tests for two famed mummies Wednesday to try to solve the centuries-old mystery of whether Egypt’s King Tut had truly been the rightful blood heir of rul ing pharaohs. “This riddle has gone on for a long time. Probably DNA is the last resort to end it." — Gaballah Ali Gaballah Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities Comparing Tut’s ancient DNA with that of the pharaoh traditionally held to be his grandfather should an swer the question of whether the boy- king really was of royal stock, said Ga ballah Ali Gaballah, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities. “This riddle has gone on for a long time. Probably DNA is the last resort to end it,” Gaballah told the Associated Press. Tutankhamun ruled Egypt 3,300 years ago, reigning from about age 8 to his death at 17. The boy-king is thought to have succeeded Amen- hotep IV, better-known as Akhenat- en, and official policy at the time as sociated Tut by blood to the great pharaoh. Many Egyptologists question whether Akhentuten really did fa ther Tutankhamun, although they widely agree that the boy-king had some sort of royal lineage. Gaballah said the tests will be conducted by a team from Waseda University in Japan and Cairo’s Ein Shams University. The experts plan to compare DNA from Tu tankhamun’s mummy to that of Amenhotep III, whose mummy is exhibited at the Egyptian museum in Cairo. Amenhotep III is believed to have been Akhenaten’s father. That would make him Tutankhamun’s grandfather. A general named Horemheb largely ran the country during Tut’s reign. He and other generals were known to claim royal blood. DNA testing on mummies in gen eral could help answer a number of unknowns about ancient Egypt — proving information on matters such as family relations, marriage pat terns and mixing of ethnic groups. Some archaeologists caution that DNA testing has not yet proved very successful in archaeology. They warn against over-reliance on it to determine historical facts.
