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.

Maybe that’s where Joseph stored the corn during the famine
[[“My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain,†Ben Carson said]]
Cool! I bet that’s where Joseph stored the grain!
Maybe that is where the grain is stored. I know...that has already been said a dozen times. But I thought of it before it was said a dozen times!
I think it probably took more than 7 years to build the pyramids. :-)
He’s my favorite honky.
“Maybe that is where the grain is stored. I know...that has already been said a dozen times. But I thought of it before it was said a dozen times!”
Sigh. You’re correct of course. I just couldn’t help myself.
Haven’t you heard? Aliens helped and it only took a couple of hours for each one
Beat me and a lot of us to it.
A bit of an update, someone wake me when the Egyptians finally get around to opening the SOB. Good one for the weekly Digest ping. Thanks MtnClimber.
Obviously the secret cave where they stashed the loot.
They’d better open it soon before the moslems blow it up.
They'd be more likely to loot it -- but my quasi-educated guess is that there's going to be very little in those chambers, and definitely no Nefertiti. Naturally, I'd gladly be wrong about this. Tut died suddenly, and was not on the throne long; his burial was rushed, and there's even a peculiar scene on the wall of the tomb showing his successor, Ai, doing the burial rites. Nefertiti would not in any case have been buried in the V of the Kings.
Reeves has something of an obsession about finding Nefertiti. When he did his ground-penetrating radar survey in the KV, ten or so years ago (not long before he was suspended from being able to work in Egypt, over some bogus allegations of antiquities smuggling), and located what is now known as KV-63 (and another 'hit' dubbed KV-64), he speculated that the pit tomb could be Nefertiti's.
What’s the old joke? An intellectual calls out someone who finished a sentence, ‘Where’s the dog at?’
“Sir, we from Harvard never end a sentence with a preposition”.
‘Excuse me sir. I’ll rephrase. Where’s the dog at, A-hole!’
Who’s buried in King Tut’s tomb?
thanks
