Historians have speculated that slave labor dragged the heavy stone blocks into place to fashion the gigantic structures. Still others have suggested the builders were aliens from outer space. But six years ago, a tourist literally stumbled onto a major clue when her horse slipped on a buried structure south of the Giza plateau. Archeologists investigated, uncovering the tombs of the workers who built the pyramids -- and they were neither slaves nor aliens.

Discovering Egypt Mark Millmore's Ancient Egypt Ancient Egyptian history covers a continuous period of over three thousand years. To put this in perspective - most modern countries count their histories in hundreds of years. Only modern China can come anywhere near this in terms of historical continuity. Egyptian culture declined and disappeared nearly two thousand years ago. The last vestiges of the living culture ceased to exist in AD 391 when the Byzantine Emperor Theodosius I closed all pagan temples throughout the Roman Empire.

Such tombs were carved into the cliffs of the Valley of the Kings , across the river from the Egyptian capital at Thebes ( Ipet or Opet to the Egyptians, the modern Luxor and Karnak). The Greeks evocatively called the tombs "hypogea," i.e. the "things under the earth" (Latin singular, "hypogeum"). The model , however, bears little resemblance to any actual tombs, except for having a succession of corridors and chambers.

The study was undertaken to assess the potential use of the DXA technique as a non-invasive and non-destructive method of assessing bone health in an ancient population: poor diet, for example, could reasonably be expected to affect bone density. Background For the forensic archaeologist, osteological remains form the most important source of primary paleopathological evidence.

Additionally, the kings of the 5th Dynasty constructed Sun Temples on the desert to the northwest of the pyramids. The existence of these Sun Temples, as well as of the royal pyramids, is the most characteristic feature of this area.

What was that like? Hawass: Very exciting. When I attended the opening of the tomb, it was like looking at the past and the future. There was a big, six-ton sarcophagus. I had to ask myself, Is it empty? Is there something? In archaeology, you have to be a lucky person. If you are unlucky, you can excavate your entire life and discover nothing. Therefore, when we took off the lid of this sarcophagus and found inside another five-ton anthropoid sarcophagus, beautifully inscribed, and underneath that a mummy, it was a moment that no one could really describe.

Known as the Peace Canal , the project aims to bring fresh water from the Nile to the city of El Arish, 40 miles west of the Israeli border, making the region fertile.

On this website I have published my own research on the construction of the pyramids, the geometry of the pyramids and esoteric theories regarding the pyramids. I am convinced that the ancient Egyptians, as described by traditional Egyptology, built the pyramids and saying anything else is an insult to human intelligence and endurance. I am very interested in esoteric theories regarding the pyramids, not because I believe they are correct, but because they are an interesting aspect of contemporary culture.

With the kind permission of the Egyptian Antiquities Organization (now the Supreme Council for Antiquities) I have had the privilege of directing several seasons of archaeological work and conservation studies in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor in the south of Egypt. VALLEY OF THE KINGS! The main focus of my work in the Valley has been in the examination of several undecorated tombs (Tomb No.'s 21, 27, 28, 44, 45 and 60) found in this royal cemetery of Egypt's New Kingdom (c. 1550 - 1070 B.C.).

With video footage provided exclusively to TIME, Egyptologist Kent Weeks of the American University in Cairo here offers the first Western glimpse of what may be the biggest and most complex tomb ever found in Egypt . Professor Weeks narrates: A figure wearing a necklace provides an example of the substantial amount of original paint -- full reds, greens, blues and yellows -- preserved on the tomb walls. Only hand-size fragments remain of some of the scenes painted by ancient artists. Others, however, are nearly whole. "Some of the paint," says Weeks, "is as bright and fresh as the day it was applied." Read More Go to Site Some observations concerning uninscribed tombs in the Valley of the Kings. By Donald P. Ryan Votes:0 Some Observations Concerning Uninscribed Tombs in the Valley of the Kings. * by: Donald P. Ryan ALTHOUGH the Valley of the Kings is internationally celebrated for its beautifully decorated and inscribed tombs, a closer examination of the numbered tombs in the Wadi Biban el-Moluk demonstrates that approximately half of these tombs are uninscribed (see Table 1 ). Knowing this, one is struck by the amazing lack of interest in and documentation for most of these tombs. Sheer numbers alone demand that these uninscribed monuments are worthy of attention as does their location in this most special of valleys. This paper will briefly comment upon the nature, problems, and challenges of uninscribed tombs in the Valley of the Kings and will occasionally use examples and insights gathered from the fi Read More Go to Site The Berenike Project Votes:0 The Berenike Project The Berenike Project included excavations at Berenike and the survey of the Egyptian Eastern Desert and was directed by: Steven E.

In addition, three other tombs are being opened to the public. The Pyramid of Khafre The Pyramid of Khafre was closed in January of 1999 after humidity levels within the pyramid's chambers had risen to over 80%, due in large part to the increase in the number of visitors inside the pyramid. This had also led to the buildup of salt deposits on the inner walls of the pyramid. The pyramid Read More Go to Site The tomb of Senneferi at Luxor in Egypt Votes:0 Introduction Where is the tomb?

One of life?s uncertainties is the correct identification of the ancient human remains known collectively as the Royal Mummies of Egypt. Shortly after the discovery of the first group in 1881, there was already some confusion over who was who. The individual now no longer regarded as even ?possibly?

In about 1500 BC, Pharaoh Thutmose I sailed down from Egypt in a major military campaign that destroyed the might of the Upper Nubian kingdom of Kush, conquering Egypt's first real African rival. A new UCSB archaeological expedition to the Dongola Reach in the Sudan examines the nature of the Egyptian-Nubian interactions before and after the Egyptian conquest.
