Undisturbed Tomb found in the Valley of the Kings

akahige writes "Hot on the heels of the recent news about the death of King Tut comes a new story about the discovery of an unlooted and previously unopened 18th Dynasty tomb in the Valley of the Kings. American archaeologists found five mummies resting in sarcophagi, funerary masks, and coptic storage jars. It is the first such discovery since Howard Carter's discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922."

I, for one...

"Hot on the heels of the recent news about the death of King Tut"

I must have missed it. King Tut died? When!?

The Curse!

"an /unlooted/ ...18th Dynasty tomb"

Until now.

That's my great great great great great *breathe* great great great granddad. It's a sad day when grave robbing is a profession. You shall reap what you sow. There's a curse been put upon that dig, and whoever disturbs the bones shall have "Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats playing forever in his or her head until the end of days.

You have been warned.

Check the jars

[Cliffy03]

I hope someone remembers to check those "coptic storage jars" for Gao'uld symbiotes.

Great....

Previously undiscovered, unlooted tomb, discovered and looted! W00t!

Sure kid, that's what they all say.
Now where were you on the night of 1325BC?

[cammoblammo]

Maybe, maybe not. When archaeologists go missing or die in freak accidents and pyramids start flying we'll know for sure.

It belongs to SCO!

[Crouty]

In other news today:

SCO claimed ownership of the tomb. They could not find any evidence in their own records but somewhere in the pharao's records must be a proof....

Soon to be followed by...

[masdog]

So when do we hear the news reports of five previously undisturbed mummies running amuck in downtown Cairo?

By The Way...

[AndroidCat]

That's where SG-1 dropped the ZPM. The one that they never had to go back for after all, and encounter the geekazoid versions of SG-1.

Check O'Neil's pond for fish.

Safety, troll!

I can troll if I want to
I can leave your posts behind
'Cause your posts don't troll and if they don't troll
Well they're no posts of mine
I say, we can troll where we want to
A goatse they can always find
And I can act like we come from the GNAA
Leave the moderations far behind
And we can troll.

Re:cool..

[EngMedic]

provided that the pyramids (also known as "time capacitors") don't get too large, rotate the R^4 field the Old Kingdom exists in by 90 degrees and vanish into nothingness, leaving only mathematically inclined camels to figure it out - sure, great!

Otherwise, better check the Assasin's Guild for help.

Re:It belongs to SCO!

[kfg]

They're no doubt going to file for an extension of discovery because the Pharoah's plainly had adequate time to appear for deposition, but failed to answer the subpeona.

KFG

Yeah, yeah, we've ALL heard this story before....

[d474]

"American archaeologists found five mummies resting in sarcophagi, funerary masks, and coptic storage jars..." and then they found a stargate and sent an elite commando team through the worm hole and they got lost.... *yAwn*

Mad rush!!

[Schraegstrichpunkt]

An undisturbed tomb? Quick! Let's disturb it!

Re:I, for one...

[Magdalene]

would be more willing believe the pyramids were created by ufos if they were pointy side down.
*grin*

Re:It belongs to SCO!

[LiquidCoooled]

Archaeologists today confirmed there are infact hieroglyphs pointing towards SCO ownership.
