Yes, an amazing state of preservation for something that old, especially when the tomb was reused later.
I hope the political and religious situation in Egypt doesn’t deteriorate to the point that these discoveries are never fully and integrated with earlier knowledge ... or even worse, that the artifacts are destroyed.

They discover the tomb and spend 10 years restoring and the come out with an announcement that makes it sound as though they tripped over it this morning.

If the worst-of-the-worst terrorists now rampaging Iraq ever get to Egypt they probably would be destroyed. I recall the “moderate” Taliban destroying Buddhist statues.

Yes, they did. And too much of Egyptian archaeology is stuck in Egypt!

I thought Islamic extremist in Egypt had shut down the antiquities explorations, and were threatening to destroy what had been reclaimed. In any case, nice find.

And too much of Egyptian archaeology is stuck in Egypt!Doesn't seem to long ago that the Egyptian Antiquities Bureau (Or whatever it was called) were screaming that all artifacts be returned. Good thing that didn't reach fruition, and now is a good enough reason for it never to happen.

3,000 years ago, the Egyptians invented the Victrola, complete with speaker system, 4 records and 2 record-changer slave girls, [center top & bottom panels].

Makes muslims seem like the inbred mooncalves they are. One can readily see why their deranged fundamentalists want to wreck anything that demonstrates this.

:’) Morsi wasn’t in office long before the mullah rants to demolish the Giza pyramids started up again.

Demolish the pyramids? Wonder where they will get the manpower to do that massive job since Moses and the boys aren’t enslaved any longer?
Oops! Don’t want to give these morons any ideas. Sorry about that.

I’m as interested as anyone, but at the end of the day this is still grave robbing.
