I saw the recent story about a recent find in Egypt where the baddies revealed a find:
The arrest of tomb robbers led archaeologists to the graves of three royal dentists, protected by a curse and hidden in the desert sands for thousands of years in the shadow of Egypt's most ancient pyramid, officials announced Sunday.
Who would have thought that they had dentists back then? I recall seeing a bit of a documentary a while back where someone marveled at the great state of the teeth on excavated Egyptian skulls, apparently due to the lack of sugar and tooth decay in the ancient Egyptian diet.It was also interesting to read this:
Although archaeologists have been exploring Egypt's ruins intensively for more than 150 years, Hawass believes only 30 percent of what lies hidden beneath the sands has been uncovered. Excavation continues at Saqqara, he said, and his team expects to find more tombs in the area
So there's hope for some modern-day Indiana Joneses yet...
