Tomb Time

Joshua gets a no-prize covered in heiroglyphics for bringing us news of yet another new tomb discovery on the pyramid plateau:

Egypt’s antiquities chief on Thursday revealed a 2,500-year-old hidden tomb under the shadow of one of Giza’s three giant pyramids, containing 400 pinkie-finger-sized statues and six coffin-sized niches carved into granite rock.

That would be none other than everyone's favorite Egyptologist, Zahi Hawass. I think the freakiest thing of all is that this tomb was created around the time of Herodotus, the Jewish Captivity, and the great Persian wars, and even then the pyramids were a thousand years old.

Hey-yaaaa-HUP!
