im not sure if this story is true,, but i have a friend who lives in banha and he told me that he knew that there where situations when people where building houses and they where digging up the ground that actually found some ancient egypt artifacts.

To quote Kip from Napoleon Dynamite, "Like anyone can even know that..."



How are we supposed to know? Can you like, X-Ray the whole country?

I welcome you Steve, as an archaeologist you will know that there is much that needs to be properly excavated, as many tombs,pyramids and many other monuments have never been properly excavated, documented or assessed for restoration and preservation.

There is no doubt that much that lies under the ever increasing sprawl of Cairo and other cities and is now totally lost to us.

Much of what lies in the vast basements of the Cairo museum has never been properly identified or catalogued so still awaits public display.

Consequently it lies in virtually the same order it was originally brought to the museum during the 1930's when artifacts were arriving by the truckload each day.

Here alone there would be several years work for a large team of Egyptologists,however it all comes back to funding and the priority must remain to get the musum building itself restored and its displays recataloged and labeled.Many objects have either lost their display informantion or the labeling has faded to the point it's indecipherable.

There are many "legends" such as the tomb of Alexander the Great and his gold is said to lie hidden somewhere in the maze of subterranean tunnels that extend for miles in a under the streets of Alexandria.

However I know of no sites connected to the supernatural or of rumors of such.The exception being the site of the creation and source of the Nile which according to ancient Egyptian mythology is located somewhere in the Western desert.

Our main concern at present is not in exploration and excavation of new sites but in the proper assessment restoration and preservation of sites already designated by the SCA as being of unique,historical, national and cultural importance.

It has been stated by Dr Hawass, there may be as much awaiting possible discovery and practical retreival as has already been found.
