I find it amazing that we are still digging up new tombs after all these years.

But ”we set up lights to wotk the night” - why the sudden hurry, if the figurines laid there for thousands of years surely they could wait one more weekend to be dug up.

The figurines can wait but often the graduate student or postdoc cannot.

I agree. But also, the length of time that Egypt has supported civilisation is just so long. It would be interesting to know how many people had died in Egypt. The number would be large.

Headline should be *Pharaoh
