I have told folks that I am not a geek, just a nerd, and that there are different degrees of "nerdness." Here's the proof:

why can't they use ground-penetrating radar or whatever to find empty spaces within the cliff?

Hey, buddy, try that on someone who doesn't know ya. ;') I checked out that link to the Rohl DVD on eBay, and it says that it expires on the 6th or so. Won't it just continue until they're gone?

Good idea. Also a good way to tick off Zahi Hawass (because he didn't think of it first -- BTW, that's probably what's behind Zowie's reaction anyway) and get kicked off the site and out of Egypt. ;')

It probably would. I didn't see any date myself. Maybe Cami changes the expiration date each time it passes, if there are still DVDs left. The part that puzzled me was the part that said there are 55 sets available; I thought she had almost run out, and wasn't going to make any more until after the holidays.

Amenhotep I was found in a replacement coffin (which Reeves thinks was part of same group of coffins that Tuthmosis II's replacement coffin came from) originally made for a mid-18'th Dynasty priest named Djehutymose and subsequently reinscribed by the reburial party for Amenhotep I.
