We have finally gotten funding to dig out the ruins picked up last year via satellite imagery.  Possibly pre-Sumerian.  This could bring in a whole lot of new perspective on early civilization.  We're very excited about this, and should be able to start digging in about three weeks.

We finally started digging this morning.  Hoping we'll find something good.

It's looking very good so far - one building, probably early Sumerian, possibly older.  Inscriptions in front of the building resemble early cuneiform.  Cryptographers are working on it now.  It's almost definitely some sort of temple, though the design is nothing like known Sumerian mythology.  It could be from a smaller sect or cult, but it's too early to find out.  We're going to try to get past the front doors tomorrow if we can do it without damaging anything.

The doors gave us trouble, but we think we can reliably explore the interior.  The building appears to be structurally sound, but we're prepared for an emergency.  We should be ready to explore properly by May 2nd.

Inscriptions on the front doors have been translated.  This building was apparently a "Forbidden Temple" of some kind, probably an early mystery religion.  The rest of it is a list of all the penalties for entering.  Very strict and brutal, like any old religion, and kind of funny now.  I like it!

So far, the so-called "Forbidden Temple" has been disappointing.  Entirely empty - no art, writing, artifacts, or furniture, just blank rooms.  Maybe it was so forbidden that they didn't bother to decorate?  We found basement stairs, but need to determine that it's structurally sound first.

Made it into the basement. Gigantic stone doorway, covered in the same inscriptions from the entrance - forbidden temple, death penalty for entering, blah blah blah.  Too bad they aren't here to enforce it anymore!

I can't believe what we found in there.  I really can't.  Some sort of mummy.  The remains do not look human.  Possibly a fake sewed together from animal and human remains - ancient Jackalope? - to make people think it's their god.  Going to try to retrieve it carefully and run som tests.  Has there ever been anything like this?  Need to check my notes.  This is huge!  Never seen anything like it!

The mummy doesn't feel dry.  Moisture got in the temple?  Amazing that it's still preserved.  Going to run some tests on it.

Someone broke into the lab and moved the mummy last night! It's just turned around a little, but that could hav destroyed a valuable find!  I yelled at everyone, but nobody wanted to admit it.  Fine.  We'll just have to lock up tighter tonight.

The mummy started "bleeding," probably because of whoever manhandled it the other day.  I'm amazed that it still has fluids, but this just underscores how much damage that idiot could have done!

Whoever broke in the other day did it again.  Mummy moved a little bit.  Broke some equipment and made a mess.  Smeared dirt on the walls, too!  I am going to find out who did this, and I will press charges.  What's wrong with people?  Set up a security camera in the mummy room.  The exterior ones haven't picked up anything - why didn't I do this on Day 1?  What was I thinking?

The mummy is gone!!!!!!!!  Somebody stole it!!!!!!!  Windows and doors broken, locks smashed, crap strewn everywhere in the lab.  Investigation ongoing right now, local authorities have been called in.  Nothing else taken, and they're sweeping for fingerprints right now.  I can't believe this!  I am sitting down to watch the security footage right now.  Should know who did it pretty soon.
