The four deposits of artifacts found at Egypt's Valley of the Kings, in a boxlike shape. There should be a fifth deposit on the axis of the undiscovered tomb and that deposit has yet to be found. Credit: Afifi Rohim Afifi and Glen Dash

The so-called foundation deposits, arranged in a boxlike shape, contain a mix of artifacts, including the head of a cow, a vase painted in blue and flint blades that have wooden handles that are still preserved after more than three millennia...

So THAT'S where I put it! I knew I should have made a map.

99 dead baboons,
Sitting in my living room.
This one’s Jake, that one’s Dinah,
And there’s Big Ned in my recliner.

Hate to say it but probably better to leave it all buried. MB can’t get at it there like the Taliban got the Buddhas in Afghanistan.

The flint blades are fascinating, with wooden handles yet after all this time!
