Hatshepsut?

The coconut that they have on a line between them.

Well this was a bunker to survive a nuclear attack so we'd still have military command...so I imagine pretty F'ing bad. There's was an AF base where he was based out of not that far away. Where he would have slept if he didn't have an apt off base. He only worked in the bunker. You'd enter and leave by cover of darkness. A few hundred service people from USA/NATO worked there. That book is actually a good glimpse of what it was like.

Because that isn't what archeology is for.

Archeology is the study of past human behavior through artifacts. If we leave those artifacts including anthropological ones where they are we can't study them. We can't learn from them and us.

That doesn't mean you can't put it all back when everything is recorded. However, that's your answer.

Noted. Many thankings.

Google maps said just short of 8 hours.

372 miles is much closer when you have well built roads like interstates. Even taking American state roads can add significant times to a trip. My trip to see the family is about 2:15 by interstate, yet almost 4 hours by state road that parallels and continuously crosses the interstate. I've drive both routes as many as 6 times a year for nearly three decades, the times are pretty consistent.

Yeah been thinking about this, like why not just leave the dead people alone.

Because it might have been full of gold…. We had to check, for science.

Archeology is happening in Egypt again!? Did Zahi Hawass die or something? Old stick in the mud that man..

I choose the path of Ozymandias.

I need that mummy jerky! I need it!

It was Chinese archeologists and high school students

He’s only famous to us because he grave survived relatively in tact. Imagine what the tomb of a “real” King may have looked like.

“You up?”

It’s Cleopatra no?

And the grave robbing community strikes again.

I know the guy that directed the new Dune only had plans to get to the second book but my good imagine if this book ever got adapted

He's actually one of the least famous pharaohs in history. The only reason we know much about him is that he was so forgotten that even his tomb was lost, and therefore it avoided being looted until we discovered it in modern times.

So when we look at all the treasure that was found in Tutankhamen's tomb, we have to remember that this was the tomb of one of the most insignificant and un-famous (as much as that can be said of a pharaoh) rulers of his time. Just imagine what Rameses the 2nd was buried with.

Many people aren’t aware but a lot of people look down on this in the archaeology field including me, it’s literally just grave robbing and it’s not done for the knowledge that comes with it, it’s done to be able to sell your name and whatever artifacts and such you can pocket, rule number one of archaeology is you don’t profit off the dead’s belonging, and not mention in many cultures digging up and taking their things, ruins their souls in afterlife’s, and whether you believe it or not it must be respected

When/why did we stop giving leaders nicknames?

Meaning, the "Alexander the Great", "Ivan the Terrible", "Christian the Tyrant" etc

Any chance of ever seeing it again?
Will we ever see "Putin the Bloody" or something?

Or make paint colors
