乌尔的皇家陵墓长期以来一直以其令人毛骨悚然的场景而闻名，年轻士兵和妓女忠诚地服用毒药与他们的情妇一起死亡。作者对两个原始头骨进行了CT扫描，并提出了一种不会那么令人不寒而栗，但更具可实施性的程序。遇难者参加了一场精心设计的葬礼仪式，在仪式上，他们被一把锋利的工具砍倒，加热，用水银防腐，穿上衣服，按顺序摆放。
The Royal Tombs at Ur have been long famous for their chilling scenario of young soldiers and courtesans who loyally took poison to die with their mistress. The authors investigate two of the original skulls with CT scans and propose a procedure no less chilling, but more enforceable. The victims were participants in an elaborate funerary ritual during which they were felled with a sharp instrument, heated, embalmed with mercury, dressed and laid ceremonially in rows.
