No time to ID? The sarcophagi don't have any cartouches on them?

this is interesting...
I have a renewed interest in egypt after seeing the Hatshepsut exhibit in San Franfreakshow last weekend.
It was great seeing hatshepsut's artifacts and thinking to myself she no doubt knew Moses and likely could have been the one who drew him out of the river.
God's plan is so perfect...

Wow, the first new tomb discovered since 1922... and the liberals would have us believe that because no large stockpiles of WMD have been found in a country the size of California in the last two years, that no such stockpiles exist. Go figure.

Imhotep! Imhotep!!
Seriously tho , I eagerly await the obligatory documentary about this find on the discovery channel. Finding tombs isn't unusual. Finding unplundered tombs however, is quite another. Can't wait!

Thanks for the ping.
I'm going along with the theory that the mummies were moved fron another location.

First peek at ancient tomb
by Nic Fleming
February 12, 2006
The Age
The door was partly opened last week to reveal the simple burial place, believed to be from the first dynasty of the New Kingdom, which ruled between 1539BC and 1292BC and had its capital in Thebes, the present city of Luxor. One of the coffins had toppled towards the door, revealing its white painted face, and another was partly open, showing a brown cloth covering the mummy inside... Zahi Hawass, head of Egypt's supreme council of antiquities, said: "Maybe they are mummies of kings or queens or nobles, we don't know. But it's definitely someone connected to the royal family."
