    That’s cool but the headline made it sound like DNA analysis was going to shed light on the experience of life at the time, like work and diet and how comfortable or conditions generally. This is more like one additional piece of evidence to support theories around ethnic demographics during a period in ancient Egypt and then a more interesting bit about burial and arthritis giving a clue to the person’s profession except the interesting bit was barely a paragraph and had nothing to do with the DNA, just more traditional archaeology.
