Thomas Rhett knew his latest single, "Beer With Jesus," was a powerful song,
but even he is surprised by how it has impacted so many of his fans. The 22
-year-old country star has heard stories from all over the country of how the
tune has affected lives, but perhaps none quite as touching as a mother who
said "Beer With Jesus" was used at the funeral of her son.
"A woman called into a radio station in Pennsylvania a couple weeks ago and
voiced that her son had just been killed in a car accident," Thomas explains.
"She came to my show in Pennsylvania and told me that her son's five best
friends were at the funeral and they played my song 'Beer with Jesus' and they
all got baptized because of the song and what it did to them. So it was pretty
awesome."

On the 90th anniversary of the discovery of King Tut's tomb, an "authorized
facsimile of the burial chamber" has been created, complete "with sarcophagus,
sarcophagus lid and the missing fragment from the south wall."
The resulting duplicate, created with the help of high-res cameras and lasers,
is "an exact facsimile of the burial chamber," one that is now "being sent to
Cairo by The Ministry of Tourism of Egypt."

This act of architectural replication-at-a-distance has been described in a
fascinating booklet—from which these quotations comes—just released by the
Factum Foundation as an extreme act of conservation, "a new initiative to
safeguard this and other [Egyptian] tombs... through the application of new
recording technologies and the creation of exact facsimiles of tombs that are
either closed to the public for conservation reasons or are in need of closure
to preserve them for future generations."

Assembling the back-up tomb took place further south, in Luxor, requiring a
step-by-step process. Laser-equipped conservationists first had "to digitize
the tombs, archive and transform ...
