[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.

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.

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.

For being "speechless", they sure did a lot of hypothesizing.

So...NOT the Hatshepsut entombed at Dir-el-Bari? And erased by Thutmose III after Hatshepsut’s death in 1458?

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...

Hatshepsut’s famous last words were, “I want my mummy!”

Cool and all, but, I don't think I could ever be this excited over a coffin.

...yet her name had been deliberately erased from the history books. Why?

Maybe she had something on the Clintons.
