Undisturbed Tomb found in the Valley of the Kings

akahige writes "Hot on the heels of the recent news about the death of King Tut comes a new story about the discovery of an unlooted and previously unopened 18th Dynasty tomb in the Valley of the Kings. American archaeologists found five mummies resting in sarcophagi, funerary masks, and coptic storage jars. It is the first such discovery since Howard Carter's discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922."

  3. It belongs to SCO! by Crouty · · Score: 5, Funny
    In other news today:

    SCO claimed ownership of the tomb. They could not find any evidence in their own records but somewhere in the pharao's records must be a proof....

  5. grave robbers? by globaljustin · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What's with some slashdotters criticizing the excavation of this tomb as 'graverobbing'?

    What a dumb thing to criticize! Of course it's not grave robbing...whatever they find will be used for science/history, just like Tut's stuff.

    it's not like this guy is going to auction off what he finds in the tomb...

    just more /. counterpoint cabal bs...
