THE BATTALION
Reason for sub crash sou
Note written by Kursk victim read aloud to public; cd
monoxide ruled as cause of death by Russian govertm
MOSCOW (AP) — Crew members aboard a crippled
nuclear submarine struggled against deadly carbon
monoxide gas from a fire but feared they could not sur
vive an attempt to reach the surface, one sailor wrote in
the second note from the Kursk to be made public.
“We feel bad ... we’re weakened by the effects of car
bon monoxide from the fire ... the pressure is increasing
in the compartment... if we head for the surface we won’t
survive the compression,” Deputy Prime Minister Ilya
Klebanov read from the note on ORT government televi
sion Wednesday.
“We can’t last more than a day,” the note concluded,
Klebanov said.
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.

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.
