How Cool Would This Be?
Unknown tomb has been found in The Valley of the Kings in Egypt.
How absolutely stunning would it be to be involved in something that huge? To be part of the team that not only found something magnificent and important but to also be part of the team that gets to fill in some of the gaps of history and maybe even re-write it more accurately now that more information is going to be forthcoming? The mind boggles at the possibilities.
The team that found it is from Maryland. How exciting for them and for Ancient Egyptian scholars all over the world.
Not to mention a major coup for the university which I’m sure will make financial support easier to attain. (I know that’s rather cynical of me but that is the reality of academia of this sort. Those bones don’t just crawl to the surface by themselves.)
