King Tut

Cool article. I love stuff about the ancient Egyptians. A couple of strange quotes in the article though. First this:

"Hawass said some members of the Egyptian-led research team, which included two Italian experts and one from Switzerland, interpreted a fracture to Tut’s left thighbone as evidence that the king may have broken his leg badly just before he died"

Then this:

“I believe these results will close the case of Tutankhamun, and the king will not need to be examined again,” Hawass said. “We should now leave him at rest. I am proud that this work was done, and done well, by a completely Egyptian team.”

Did I miss something? An all Egyptian team? What happened to the Italian experts and the Swiss expert? Strange....
