Default Archeological News From Egypt

It's dig season, and Zahi Hawass' website seems to have something new every time I check it. Here's some of the most recent finds:
Middle Kingdom burial in Luxor
Neolithic Settlement in Faiyum

Very interesting. That coffin looks to be only a few decades old. Dry earth indeed!

In that case we'd have pics of rocks with claims that the ancient egyptians had internal combustion engines.

It's nice to see Egypt is still as active an area archeologically as mesoamerica is now.
