Great. Another body to dig up and put on display. Another one on the list to check off. |

When I visited Tut's tomb, they were in the process of laser scanning the walls. Watching the little red line move across something on my bucket list was pretty cool, but to think his tomb might be Nefertiti's antechamber? That's even cooler. OTOH, it might be a press release to help get a grant…we'll see. |

Imagine there was actually an afterlife, a Hades, a Heaven. Imagine that burial, consecration or mummification got you to where you needed to go. Imagine being plucked from that afterlife when the mortal remains and the circumstances of internment are disturbed or reversed. |

That's why there's a curse on King Tut's tomb. |

Untouched grave goods and wall art could shed more light. I think this is exciting! |

The OFM makes a point. There is a cavalier approach to the ancient dead. The only possible response is what would we know about Ancient Egypt without excavating tombs? Sorry but I say, "Dig!" |

It would be very interesting to find the hidden undisturbed tomb… |

Ground penetrating radar has given some indications that there may be another undisturbed tomb opposite Tut's. |
