There is a 90 percent chance the tomb of King Tutankhamun contains a hidden chamber, Egypt's antiquities minister said on Saturday at the end of a three-day probe in the boy king's burial.

The investigation included for the first time the use of radar scans and focused mainly on the northern wall of the tomb.

Ground penetrating radar has been in constant use in the valley of the Kings for about 30 years.

The chambers that it finds tend to be reservoirs and discharge ports for the sand that operates the booby traps.

Yup...it was very interesting...

They found where King Tut’s porn stash is hidden.

“One last jolt from the Pyramid Plunger, made exclusively for this CBS Geraldo Rivera Tomb Raider Special program, and we’ll be able to look into the next chamber in this incredible foray into ancient Egyptian history, ladies and gentlemen.

“Alright, Raymond, let it fly.”

BOOOSHHHH

“Amazing, I have tears in my eyes, ladies and gentlemen. Can you get it on camera, Jeanie? What? Well, maybe it is because of the dust. It’s incredibly hot and dusty in here, but I now know what Howard Carter must have felt in 1922 when he first prepared to look into the tomb of Tutankhamun.

“Alright, I’m extending a light into the newly opened tomb and I ... what are you doing in there?”

[stylecouncilor]

LOL!

beautiful

I suspect they're using something like this: https://www.ll.mit.edu/publications/journal/pdf/vol19_no1/19_1_4_Peabody.pdf

This new technology can see through concrete, stone, houses, metal plate, truck bodies and etc.

[hal ogen]

I predict wither they will find (a) h clintoon’s original server or (b) Clown Prince nobama’s birth certificate in there.

[plain talk]

Ben Carson doubters, enjoy your humble pie! /:-D

This has nothing to do with the lame notion of using a pyramid to store grain. Surely you don't believe in that nonsense?

[stylin19a]

Let’s face it, Capone’s vault had us on the edge of our seats.
Rivera’s career was absolutely dead at that point.
We laffed but Capone’s vault resurrected him.

[amorphous]

Of course not.

But did Raiders of the Lost Grain get there first?

[amorphous]

No, but they did find this:

BTW, these topics have absolutely nothing to do with Ben Carson or the Pyramids.

Or Radar:)

[TigersEye]

OMG!

Is that panel a prophecy of the end of the world perchance?

[Balding_Eagle]

That silo won’t do it, the concrete will allow air infiltration.

What is needed is a steel glass lined Harvestor brand silo.

You know, the blue ones with a white top which were normally found on dairy farms.

I think Carson alluded to that, didn’t he? <:)
