:”) Stealin’ it!
He said that there were connecting chambers in the right paw of the Sphinx that lead to the Hall of Records left by the Atlanteans. Not too sure that's true. ;') Predynastic age of the Sphinx probably is true.
I was wondering how many replies it would take.
Is Egypt 'suppressing truth' about new King Tut research? ["state of de Nile"]

Is Egypt withholding information that could potentially disprove the existence of hidden chambers in King Tutankhamun's tomb?
One unnamed scientist in a recent Guardian profile says that this is, indeed, the case, saying, "My understanding is that the Egyptians are in a state of denial about this."
The debate began last year when Nicholas Reeves, a British Egyptologist, and Hirokatsu Watanabe, a radar expert, separately concluded that there were likely spaces behind the tomb's walls, notes the National Geographic.
However, some in the community were openly skeptical about these claims and the evidence they were based on, so another round of high-tech scans was led by the National Geographic Society earlier this year.
Despite having received a report about the findings, Egypt's Ministry of Antiquities has not yet released the results, and press inquiries have reportedly gone largely unanswered.
According to Live Science, the general belief is that the new scans show no indications of hidden rooms, but the ministry "has refused to accept the new results."
Political instability and declining tourism could be contributing to this stance.
Additional tests are expected to be conducted by Egypt's Ministry of Antiquities, reports Live Science.
The radar surveys aim to test a theory put forward last August by British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves, who claimed that the tomb hid the burial place of Queen Nefertiti. Former minister of antiquities Mamdouh Eldamaty supported the theory and the survey mission, saying that more radar scans from the top of the tomb should be carried out in order to reach the accurate results. However, former antiquities minister Zahi Hawass rejected the theory, asserting that nothing lay beyond the burial chamber in the boy-king's tomb. He also raised doubts over whether radar scans can be used to make archaeological discoveries. "In my entire career, I have never come across any discovery in Egypt made by radar scans," he said.

Heres why there’s almost certainly no hidden chamber in Tutankhamun’s tomb

Just a river.

Who cares anyway? Egyptian Pyramids are such old news.
LOL, there is generally not that much immediacy (sp.) needed in the study of ancient history...
It’s a hot day and folks need to cool off...
Hmmm. I can think of other issues this advice would apply to . . .
Exactly what is the “wrong way to unwind” as far as TP is concerned?
Over the top or underneath?
(I think this topic has the potential to rival the controversy of the Civil War/Northern Aggression threads).
This was April 22, 1978, perhaps the greatest SNL episode in the history of the SNL show. This was the episode where the Blues Brothers were the musical guest and Steve Martin was the host.
This was Steve Martin at the very height of his extraordinary fame. During the 1978-1979 period, Steve Martin was the top entertainer in the business. For a short time, he was bigger than The Beatles and bigger than Elvis. Then he did "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid." He certainly made King Tut a household name.
Forever more, King Tut will be linked with Steve Martin. Every time I hear King Tut mentioned, the opening bars of "King Tut" pop into my head and I marvel that he gave his life for tourism and had a huge impact in late 20th Century pop culture.
Over the top was the outhouse way. People (like my parents) who grew up with that "technology" changed to the down-the-back style when the john moved indoors, a way of turning a page on that former way of life.

You didn’t build that. Obama knows.
