Egyptian Pyramid Mysteries to Be Explored Live

An anonymous reader noted that "National Geographics will probe the inside of a blocked shaft in the Great Pyramid of Giza, and will also open the oldest intact sarcophagus found in moder times." Since this is the shaft where all the secret alien technology has been stored for the last few thousand years, and everyone knows that these "Sarcophagus" things are what the Gou'ald use to regenerate, I think this whole thing will be interesting as hell. Awh who am I kidding- I'm just a junkie on watching those specials where they explore pyramids.

  1. What they'll find... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Possibly Khufu's mummy. It's not in the sarcophagus in the King's Chamber and probably never was, but if the Great Pyramid was really built as his tomb it's got to have been there somewhere. It then becomes an engineering puzzle as to how they got the mummy in there. Maybe there's a larger hidden passage we haven't located yet, or maybe he died before the pyramid was completed and it was built around the burial chamber.

    Or maybe it's the control room to the alien launch facility....
