Archaeologists Left Speechless After Unsealing 4,000-Year-Old Egyptian Pyramid
The Daily Galaxy ^ | July 17, 2025 | Juliette Dubois

...Dr. Naunton and his team found a passage leading down to a central chamber. But despite the anticipation of treasure or ancient artifacts, what they found inside took them completely by surprise. The tomb, sealed for nearly 4,000 years, was not as pristine as they had hoped. The chamber was in disarray, showing clear signs of having been disturbed -- but there was no sign of forced entry. That was the first twist in the tale.

The seal on the tomb had clearly remained intact, so the question loomed: how had the contents been disrupted? Archaeologists soon concluded that this wasn't the work of modern looters. Instead, it seemed the tomb had been looted long before it was sealed forever. Dr. Naunton described the scene as an "ancient crime scene," suggesting that the looting might have occurred during the burial process itself.

The real bombshell came when the identity of the tomb's occupant was revealed. Using advanced scanning technology, the archaeologists were able to reconstruct damaged hieroglyphs on a canopic chest. It turned out that the tomb belonged to none other than Princess Hatshepsut, a royal figure from Egypt's 13th Dynasty. Now, Hatshepsut is a name familiar to historians -- but this was not the same Hatshepsut who later became one of Egypt's most famous pharaohs...

This Hatshepsut, whose name had never appeared in historical records, was a completely different individual. Her very existence had been lost to time -- until now. The discovery of a pyramid dedicated to her suggests she was someone of considerable importance, yet her name had been deliberately erased from the history books. Why? And more importantly, what does this erasure tell us about the political turbulence of the time?

[snip] The archaeologists analyzed damaged hieroglyphs on a canopic chest found inside the tomb. The name of the royal heiress, Princess Hatshepsut, was deciphered after a scanner carefully read and analyzed a series of hieroglyphics that had been damaged by the erosion of time, revealing her name for the first time.

"This is a revelation. There are no records of this newly discovered Princess Hatshepsut yet she was important enough to have been buried in her own pyramid," the narrator says.

Princess Hatshepsut is different from the famous Pharaoh Hatshepsut of the 18th Dynasty, who was the architect of the famous temple near the Valley of the Kings. The newly discovered Princess Hatshepsut dates back to the early 13th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt. [/snip]

And here I was, expecting it to be about him being found dead, with his windpipe mysteriously crushed!

It occurred to me this morning that the Ark was built by amateurs, the Titanic by professionals.

I am guessing that she was erased from history and buried alive for misgendering some tranny.

If I’m burying a dude with a sh*t ton of gold I’m thinking to myself... He doesn’t need it... Maybe I’ll go back and get it... Doh!

Most of these entombments were ‘disturbed’ shortly after the entombment. With the amount of people involved the idea that they would remain untouched is nonsense. Somebody is going to go back and get that loot.

The most amazing find, and likely the only amazing find that ever will be, was Tutankhamun’s tomb... Everybody who was involved in anyway with his burial obviously perished shortly after his burial. Otherwise, one of them would’ve returned to cash in... Since nobody did we can only assume that they all perished from some calamity.

Researchers should be studying the earths condition during the year 1323 BC to see if any volcanos, earthquakes or tsunami’s occurred in the area of Egypt during that time that may have resulted in mass casualties.

The Ark was built by amateurs, but they were on a mission from God.

Tutankhamun died (possibly was murdered) during a very turbulent time. Civil war and possibly religious war.

“The Ark was built by amateurs, but they were on a mission from God.”

Now I’m seeing the Ark with a giant speaker mounted on the roof!

Wars can result in mass casualties... Maybe they all died in a war.

One thing is for sure... That old adage ‘dead men tell no tales’ certainly applies to Tutankhamun’s treasure remaining intact for such a long time.

RE: Mission from God....

The Ark had good pickup and was built before catalytic converters so it ran great on regular gas. ⛽

Looks like today’s cancel culture is not new at all.

Tomb robbery was very common in ancient Egypt for the obvious reason that that's where the gold was. You wouldn't want to be caught, though - they impaled robbers, among other expressions of displeasure, a thing Lara Croft never had to deal with.

Still, if you unseal a tomb and suddenly are struck speechless, it's probably a curse. If you find yourself being pursued by a shambling dude wrapped in fraying bandages, it's definitely a curse.
