    7005 Head Tubes Cracking

    That’s one school of thought.. I’m more inclined to believe.. Tutankhamun bought 4 ornamental chariots during a plague of locusts when they all had to stay indoors for 12mths.. hung them on his pyramid wall, never rode any of them.. then on his passing folks buried them rather than having to...
