Thanks, that’s the dude. lol

I hope that some day they can explore that tomb more but I can appreciate that they want to do it carefully and preserve it as much as possible.

The fascination with mercury is understandable. It is interesting to me that cultures around the world discovered it and spent resources mining and refining it.

They also are spacing out the excavations to keep the site a top tourist attraction for as long as possible. They have a timetable for openng that site that stretches over centuries. At least that is what they told us when I was there in 1983.
