98. Speaking from the Grave Two students, Beth and Carl, are talking about the red-haired mummies. B: Can you imagine what it was like 4,000 years ago? C: That s hard to imagine. But if the mummies could speak, they could certainly tell us a great deal. B: Well, that, of course, is impossible. But scientists can tell a lot from the things the explorers found. C: I know. For example, they think the 4000-year-old mummies were Celts. B: Who were the Celts? C: They were ancient European people who settled in Britain even before the Romans existed. B: Wow! That s amazing! C: So you see, although mummies don t really speak, they are "speaking" from their graves. B: Stop it! you re giving me the creeps!
