Egypt remains a paradise for ancient historians, in archeological discoveries and the many papyri that are found every year. God, I want to go there.

Boohoo, Carnarvon died - he already was a man with health problems. Plus, Howard Carter (you know, the guy who found and opened the tomb?) lived on. Great job mummy!

Ancient historians would probably think it a complement that you believe they have discovered so much about Egypt. Truth is, there is much that we know little about.

Sa Anupav?

Also people love to see the past. The grimier and dirtier the better. And tombs are just that.

Considering that their buried under sandstone and sand for thousands of years without any disruption, i wouldn't expect them to be grimy.
