that would be amazing.

Imagine the history that could be found inside if true.

If they do find something... well never hear a word of it.

This isnt 1920s, Anything they find will be kept hush hush, or stopped in their tracks before they find anything.

As you said, this isn't 1920 and the dig is well known. Any finding is going to be hyped all over the world because it's a real boost for tourism. And no scholar is going to let a world-shaking discovery go unannounced (same with the dig team and everyone involved.)

The *only* way it could be "kept quiet"/stopped is by the execution of everyone (including grad students on the dig team plus their supervising professors back at the universities plus the entire department of Egyptology at those universities) plus the locals doing the grunt work on the excavation (hauling dirt, sifting, etc). That's thousands of people (and not to mention university departments) to be eliminated, not to mention hunting down news reports about it and erasing posts all over the internet including here on ATS.

(I'm saying this as someone who's been involved in archaeological digs.)

That's amusing that someone thinks you can easily hide stuff. I get emails and txts on a weekly basis from former students who are showing me what they are doing at excavations, 'sorting' documenting, surveying, etc. That's pretty common. Now some announcement may be delayed so the researchers can write a paper or announce it at a conference and establish it, they often have to wait for a lab to test and date material before they can make any formal statements. However large excavations tend to leak info at a prodigious rate especially if using grad students.

Can we get Project Veritas to spend some time in the Egyptian Archaeology circles?

In the western world you might but to do so in Egypt? Not a chance. Arab governments work a tad differently than western ones.
