This is archaeologically frustrating to me. These are about the biggest manmade things on the planet, they’re thousands of years old, there’s nothing around them, there’s a whole bunch of historical writings about them, yet... we haven’t explored them fully.
Hopefully the new Egyptian government will change that for the better.
They’ve been crawled all over, like picnic food by ants, but non-invasive techniques (as were used by Luis Alvarez in the Khafre pyramid about fifty years ago) have seldom been tried. And foreign scholars and scientists insufficiently obsequious get the heave-ho. Frankly, I’d prefer the whole place were suddenly depopulated and studied unfettered and in depth. But I’m just a little crazy. ;’)
Don't we wish, but Zahi Hawass has now been levitated to a new cabinet level post for antiquities.
I hope they make hats in his new size.
What makes anyone believe change in Egypt will be anything other then an Islamic theocracy?
Which of course the pyramids will be blown up under a theocracy.
You're dreaming. Moslems do not study anything, they only destroy. We will lose all the remaining egyptian historical artifacts once the muzzies take over.
Yeah lol...we will get a much better look at the insides of the pyramids when they are blown up.
