CAIRO – Egyptian archaeologists who have completed excavations on an unfinished ancient tunnel believe it was meant to connect a 3,300-year-old pharaoh's tomb with a secret burial site, the antiquities department said Wednesday.
Egyptian chief archaeologist Zahi Hawass said it has taken three years to excavate the 570-foot (174 meter) long tunnel in Pharaoh Seti I's ornate tomb in southern Egypt's Valley of the Kings. The pharaoh died before the project was finished.

Of coarse he did....doesn't he always?
Seriously. Is it in his contract that he's the only one who gets to talk?
“... believe it was meant to connect a 3,300-year-old pharaoh’s tomb ...”
Man ! That is one old Pharaoh !
Among the architect’s notes:
A detailed explanation of why the tunnel is behind schedule and over budget. That the Slaves’ Union wants time and a half on weekends and an additional day off to celebrate crocodile day. The Overseer has decided to put in for early retirement, and a shipment of niter for processing mummies has been delayed because the Slave Longshoremen won’t cross the picket line of the Slave Boatmen.
