Tail vs Tale? Look like it was written by a Junior High Student 68.190.236.47 (talk) 19:13, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What does anencephaly have to do with his height?

This is misleading. 185.90.171.251 (talk) 15:07, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Especially as he had a full set of teeth, something that an infant, with or without anencenphaly, do not have, and he also had solid food in his stomach (meat) ; from article :

"However, without Pedro’s body, it cannot be proven he suffered from the same condition- especially as there is evidence that suggests Pedro was not a child at all.

Pedro’s full height has been estimated to be 14 inches in total- certainly the right size for a baby. However, he also exhibited features associated with a fully-grown adult. The mummy had a full set of teeth and x rays also revealed what appeared to be the remains of solid food in his stomach. Furthermore, there were signs on his body that he did not die a natural death. The mummy’s spine appeared to be damaged, his collarbone broken and his skull been smashed by a blow that could have resulted in the exposed brain tissue."

@Okama-San I don't mean to be rude, but why should we use that website? It doesn't seem to meet WP:RS. I can't even find an "about" page. But anencephaly is 100% fatal and the longest a baby is known to have lived is 2 years, so clearly very relevant to its height. Doug Weller talk 08:28, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cuts

@Ceoil: Why did you cut the entire post-discovery history, including the analysis that substantiates the mummy's being an anencephalic infant, and the full name of "Gill"? Much of the intro is now unsupported in the text. Yngvadottir (talk) 22:44, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the self-revert; I've added another source from WikiProject Archaeology and made some other tweaks. Yngvadottir (talk) 10:01, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New changes look good. Apologies for being so hasty in making the first cuts, and to say your an editor I have held in high regard over the years. Ceoil (talk) 08:12, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
