Reply to Hundreds of mummies and pyramid of an unknown queen unearthed near King Tut's tomb by IslandChillin
I have just one question: How do they keep finding these things there. Every stone must have been turned around twice by now.

Man I'm from Canada and even here that's not near, at all.

600km is close to Americans, 372 miles. And that is measured distance to Cairo so this is 30 miles closer.
I guess their road is slow to be an 8 hour drive. Unless I am wrong on the locations.

My dad served in the Börfink Bunker. At the time in the mid-late 60s it served as the NATO command center for Europe. Essentially the spear tip of our response to any Russian threats. There’s a good, easy-read book about it…no connection to my dad or me but I’ve read it. Linky: https://www.amazon.com/Two-Years-Watch-Learned-Secret-ebook/dp/B079KVBQCM

Not quite the same but somewhat related, the bunker that during the cold war used to house 15 billion marks worth of emergency money for the German Bundesbank was some time ago sold for only half a million Euros and is these days open to the public via guided tours.

Both the Republic of China (KMT) and the People's Republic of China (CCP) claimed to be the one legitimate government of China after 1949. So recognizing both wasn't possible. I know Taiwanese independence is a hot-button issue for the PRC, they said they'll go to war if that happens so that's basically off the table.
I also don't think North Korea was given diplomatic recognition by the US, if memory serves the US to this day handles it's affairs with North Korea through the Swiss, they have no embassy in Pyongyang. That might also have been the case for East Germany.

Yes I know what you said. The confusion in the title makes no sense unless you just have a bad editor who didnt bother to read the article.

The famous pyramids and the Valley of the Kings yes. Pyramids were built in several eras of Egyptian history from the 3rd dynasty (2600 B.C.) to the last being built in the 18th Dynasty (1150 B.C.) which was the same era as Tutankhamun (1341-1323 BC). I don't know what era the one in question came from.

It may also interest you the fact that Switzerland in the '60s made it mandatory to add a bunker in large homes and residential buildings, up until a few years ago. Oh, and they kept all their bridges mined (possibly road and railway tunnels too, IIRC), in case they needed them gone in case of an invasion. The plan was for the entire population to seek refuge in the bunkers and to basically cut off the country from the rest of the world, in case the Cold War suddenly became Hot.
They also have a lot of bunkers and installations inside mountains. I know of at least one been re-purposed as a highly secure datacenter, privately owned.

The house I'm currently living in is build from steel reinforced concrete. The ceiling is 40 cm thick, as are the basement walls. It's quite an interesting place to live, if you turn off the heating it will be 16°C. Regardless of the season. Also you can make lots of noise in the basement as no one will hear anything.

Arent the Pyramids and Valley of the Kings completely separate eras for Egyptian history?
