Another tomb found. I'd like to see these some day.

Me, too. But, I doubt that will happen in my lifetime.
Still, a friend is giving me a ticket to the Tut exhibit
for my birthday. Yay!

I saw the one that came through NYC years ago. It was so
crowded
as
to
render it totally unenjoyable. I liked looking at the
pictures
in
National
Geographic MUCH better than trying to get a glance at the real
thing.

I'm thinking of getting my own subscription to NG. The problem
is
that
I
get so many other magazines now, it's hard to keep up.

Get a subscription to Australian Geographic instead.

That looks like a good one too. Being in the US though, I think I
would
stick with NG.

Isn't that printed in China?

--

Wouldn't surprise me. Everything else we buy is from there.

Are you considering voting for the new Presidential Candidate Wun Hoo
Suk?

Actually I'm voting for Wan Hung Lo.

<old joke>

It was one my grand-dad's faves.
I expect that Akhen-aten was familiar with it as well.

He's the one who told it to me. ;-)

Mmm... You are a trifle older than I had first thought.
How's your Mummy?

I tried to get hold of of her today, but she's all tied up.

Archaeologists find Akhenaten-era tomb


Dutch archaeologists have discovered the tomb of the Pharaoh Akhenaten's
seal bearer, decorated with paintings including scenes of monkeys
picking and eating fruit, Egyptian antiquities officials said on
Wednesday.

The tomb belonged to the official named Ptahemwi and was discovered
during a Dutch team's excavation in the Sakkara area, the burial ground
for the city of Memphis, the state news agency MENA said, quoting chief
antiquities official Zahi Hawass.

Akhenaten, the 18th-dynasty pharaoh who ruled Egypt from 1379 to 1362
BC, abandoned most of the old gods and tried to imposed a monotheistic
religion based on worship of the Aten, the disc of the sun.

He built a new capital called Akhetaten at Tell el-Amarna, 250 km (160
miles) south of Cairo, and the find shows that high officials continued
to build their tombs in Memphis near Cairo.

"It is one of the most important finds in the Sakkara area because it
goes back to the Akhenaten period," MENA quoted Hawass as saying.

Officials said the tomb had limestone walls with paintings of scenes
from daily life and of Ptahemwi receiving offerings, MENA reported.

"Some of the funniest scenes ... are those of a number of monkeys
picking and eating fruit," said Osama el-Sheemi, head of Sakkara
antiquities, quoted by MENA.

The Dutch team has been working in Sakkara since the 1990s to find tombs
dating from the New Kingdom. They had previously found the tomb of an
Akhenaten-era priest.
