New Tomb found in the Valley Of The Kings

from wiki:-

"On 8 February 2006, the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities announced the discovery of a previously unknown and intact tomb in the Valley of the Kings. The tomb – which, following conventions, will receive the designation KV63 – is the first new tomb to be revealed in the Valley since the discovery of KV62, the tomb of Tutankhamun, by Howard Carter in 1922. "

this gives me the opportunity to blog a link to the fascinating theban mapping project website, which was one of the first sites I discovered whilst exploring the internet for the first time on a modern computer and using a modern browser. Before this, the internet was a green & blak place, inhabited by geeks and newsgroups.

The stuff on KV5 is particularly fascinating.
