They dried the body by using a salt mixture called natron. Natron is a natural substance that is found in ab ...

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 ...

EGYPTIAN ARCHAEOLOGY
My fascination with Egypt began in childhood and since then, I have had the great pleasure of participating in archaeological projects in the regions of the Fayyum (on prehistoric sites) and in the Nile Delta. 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 Eg ...

An astonishing excavation last week uncovered a burial place that may hold 50 sons of Ramesses II, ancient Egypt's most powerful pharaoh, and the man, many believe, who let Moses' people go. 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.

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 ...
