Title: New Rooms in Tut's Tomb?
Post by: Malthus on October 01, 2015, 02:38:33 PM
This is an interesting development. Allegedly, scanning radar has revealed a couple of long sealed, hidden rooms off of Tut's tomb.

Speculation has it that these rooms contain the original inhabitant of the tomb, that these rooms were sealed off to 're-use' the tomb for Tut.

I wonder if they will ever be able to go in to those other rooms? No way they will destroy the delicate artwork on those walls.

It would be a pity to destroy the walls if all they find is the Egyptian equivalent of Al Capone's vault.  ;)

Maybe drill a tiny inconspicuous hole, and send in a mini camera?

You can if you want to tunnel through many yards of solid rock ...  ;)

I want them to open the First Emperor's tomb in China.

Yup, that would be awesome, even though it was almost certainly looted in antiquity. Still no hint that the Chinese gov't will allow it.
