I was looking through my newspaper the other day and I came across a fascinating article out of Luxor, Egypt. For the first time since 1922 when Howard Carter found King Tutankhamun's tomb a new intact tomb has been discovered. This news was released on Feb. 10, 2006.
This is simply astounding to me. For crying out loud, we are talking about the Valley of the Kings here! This is arguably one of the most excavated sites in the world where back in the hay day of archaeology in that region (1880-1930) there were regular discoveries (by tomb robbers and Egyptologists). Now, after 84 years of drought, we find another tomb, remarkably unmolested.
It occurs to me that it is amazing how well a secret can be hidden in the sand. If a tomb can remain undiscovered for 3000 years, in a relatively small area that has also been subjected to some of the most focused excavations and surveys, then it isn't it possible that there could possibly be WMD's hidden in the vast deserts of Iraq or Syria? No, that idea is just too crazy!
