The Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities has just announced that a scientific team has found initial evidence of what might be a hidden chamber in the tomb of King Tutankhamun. [Update: See video below.]
A survey of the tomb was conducted using infrared thermography, which measures temperature distributions on a surface.
According to Mamdouh el-Damaty, the Minister of Antiquities, “the preliminary analysis indicates the presence of an area different in its temperature than the other parts of the northern wall.†One possible explanation is that the variation in temperature is, in effect, an infrared shadow of an open area behind the wall.

"In fact, there are four main types of situation in which it is more natural to end a sentence or clause with a preposition:
passive structures (she enjoys being fussed over)
relative clauses (they must be convinced of the commitment that they are taking on)
infinitive structures (Tom had no-one to play with)
questions beginning with who, where, what, etc. (what music are you interested in?)"
Carson said it’s “hermetically” sealed.
Thank you. That was a really helpful guide about prepositions.
Someone should set Dr. Carson straight. Those secret rooms are where the portal to the fourth dimension is hidden.
