They're always finding stuff. Maybe one day we'll find Cleopatra's tomb. I should have been an archaeologist. I mean yeah, I'd look like an idiot dressed as Indiana Jones all the time but it would be more fun than programming. Maybe not as fun as post production but I'd get more sun. yakmans_dad (2) Funniest 34 minutes ago AppleOptionEsc (1) Funniest 34 minutes ago Historically? London. Smelly Pirate Hooker (5) Funniest 34 minutes ago Whatever you do, don't read from the book. Or is that the other book? You know what, just on general principle, don't read from any ancient-looking book you find in a tomb, a graveyard, a basement, etc. Probably a good idea not to open it, either.

StayAtHomeAstronaut (2) Funniest 33 minutes ago How do they know it's a 'book of the dead' if they are 'mum' on the text and won't release any photos? If it is real, 43 ft would be something to see no matter what is written on it. I don't care if it's a Bazooka Joe comic...that will be an amazing museum display. How do you even spread that out to write? And imagine how much stuff is buried out there, especially in that region that has not, or probably ever will be discovered. Still things in life that are actually interesting. Diocletian's Last Cabbage (0) Funniest 31 minutes ago Mugato: raerae1980: Mugato: Wow, I didn't know they were still finding stuff, that's awesome.
