Looking for stuff under the Egyptian sand is going to be a one shot event and then banned if it has not already been banned. None of the vested parties not Hawas nor Lehner want anything that would discredit or challenge the accepted status quo and their income and chain of grants.

They have already successfully banned optically stimulated luminescence (OSL)/optical dating. Those tests returned dates which were too old for the standard time line and just played havoc with an area of archaeology which is already in chaos.

There are also possible very interesting stuff buried under the Nile delta mud ... however, most of the places where one might look in the ME or North Africa are just plain too dangerous due to the present Islamic infestation.

There is a lot of interesting artifacts and cities from past civilizations that are buried under up to 350’ of water and mud. I believe at the end of last Ice Age the Nile cut through a deep canyon to get into the Mediterranean, when sea levels rose the Nile started depositing sediment and soon filled up it’s canyon. The same with the Mississippi River. Much of the State of Louisiana’s land is under 10,000 years old.

Kind'a like the real temperature data that threw the AGW pseudo-scientists for a loss and made 'em start fudging the numbers, right?
