The tomb of King Khakaure Senusret III (Senwosret III), one of the most dominant and popular pharaohs of ancient Egypt's Middle Kingdom, is set to open to the public within a couple of years. This will provide an opportunity for visitors to descend into the underground chambers and marvel at the architecture of the Egyptian builders who constructed the burial complex nearly four thousand years ago... According to Dr. Josef Wegner, Associate Curator of the Egyptian Section of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, who has been excavating in Abydos for decades, this is the largest tomb at Abydos and dates back to 1850 BC. The tomb measures 200 meters (656 ft) in length and 45 meters (148 ft) deep and its architecture is one of a kind.

No wonder Napolean’s army shot the Sphinx’ face off.
Wow, I'd not noticed that. Probably was "pharaoh's cult center" and poor editing meeting up at a bad time.
"What's a 'Helen Thomas', dad?"
It's possible that he's gotten too old and ill to be involved. It's also possible that his getting in the way of the muon study of the Great Pyramid was too humiliating and embarrassing for Egyptologists to tolerate any longer. It's also possible that he's spending all his time trying to **** up something else. He really, really wants to find an unplundered tomb in the KV.
Thanks! Wegner tells Popular Archaeology. I found that one first, but on the poor old long-suffering hardware I'm using, I couldn't view the graphics, so I used the other one.

Of course he does. He’s like a televangelist (think Benny Hinn or Swaggert or...).
If they'd built the houing like that, they'd still be living in it. :^)
