But the team of finger print experts, led by Chief Inspector, Tony Fletcher, feel sure of one thing - ASRU was never a dancer. Her toe prints were in toe good condition-indicating that her toes must rarely have come ino barefooot contact with stone floors of teh era. She alse had beautiful and elegant hands said the men of the Greater Manchester police force. these assertions confirmed Dr. David's theory that ASRU had been a singer in the Temple of Karnak, the largest in Egypt, in the city of Thebes.
