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.

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...

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.
