You can throw a spade into the ground at Saqqara and probably hit a mummy at this point.

I've read several Lincon books, including biographies, if I only read one it would be David Herbert Donald's biography.This culminated a career of study of the American Civil War, including 2 Pulitzer prizes in biography.

It’s about 45 mins drive NW of there by Birkenfeld.

Most definitely absolutely a great documentary I've watched it like 5 or 6 times it's truly jaw dropping to watch them uncover ancient Egyptian history right on camera. The scene where they are digging into the side of that hill and straight up uncover an untouched tomb right in front of the camera it's mind blowing for sure I highly recommend watching it if you haven't yet, well worth the watch 💯

Giza could be reasonably considered a stone's throw from where this site is located, but neither Giza nor this site is a stone's throw away from the Valley of the Kings (e.g. where Tut is), unless ppl are want to throw stones many, many miles. How unnecessarily confusing that is...

Is that the one in Kindsbach? My spouse grew up right next to it.

Yeah, I figured it was impractical since the image in my head was some giant space laser from the ISS scanning Egypt
Thank you for explaining though!

That's ground-penetrating radar. The trick is you have to scan the land before you know if something is there, and there's a lot of land.
Also I don't know the technical limitations of that kind of radar.

Eh, Egyptian Council of Antiquities isn't really big on trying to discover anything that might undermine the current understandings on history.

It's been at peace for like 3000 years, it probably wants to be out on display by now!

The article is completely wrong.
>Just a stone's throw from King Tut's tomb, archaeologists have unearthed the pyramid of a never-before known ancient Egyptian queen; a cache of coffins, mummies and artifacts; and a series of interconnected tunnels.
They say it's a stone's throw away. The pyramid, the coffins, the mummies, the artifacts...
I don't know who can throw a stone hundreds of kms but I'd like to meet them.

I'm going to sound really dumb here, but can't they do some sort of sonar locating of tombs? Like man there sure is a giant hole 5 ft under the surface over there maybe we should see what's in it?
Isn't this how stud finders work? Like finding the less dense areas?

It’s not true, unfortunately. There’s no references to Anne having had six fingers until propaganda well after her death.

Yeah- no pyramids in the valley of kings… And no kings they dont know about remains except the one they left in place. There is one king unaccounted for. Ramses VIII - he may be there in the valley as those before and after are. They lookin!

Or just a bunch of used needles, though these things are far from mutually exclusive.
