Massacre?
Can someone provide a source that refers to these mummies as having been massacred? I've skimmed over the article, and aside from mentioning a siege that took place in the area around the estimated year of death, I can't find any evidence that these mummies were massacred, or even murdered (en mass, or otherwise). Thanks. ← George [ talk  ] 05:45, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with you, George. There is no evidence of any massacre, neither in Historians writings, nor on the mummies themselves. In the most probable reference to these events (El Douaihy, E., (1984), Tarikh Al Azminah, in the version of the Abbot Boutros Fahd, Publisher Dar Lahd Khater, Beirut – 3rd Edition. pages 261-262), a siege of 7 years was put around the cave by the Mamluk army who eventually took the cave peacefully (we could suppose that some of the cave inhabitants survived the siege and some did not) youcroft (talk) 08:08, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the article currently mentions this siege, but doesn't say how the mummies died. Did they die naturally during the siege? Were they starved to death? Were they killed outright during the siege? Is there any evidence that they were killed at all, such as weapon entry wounds? I'll wait a few days to see what other editors can come up with before re-removing this category. ← George [ talk  ] 08:24, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * As nobody has listed any reason to keep this category, I've removed it from the article. ← George [ talk  ] 22:33, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
