A new robot in the Great Pyramid / a new tunnel under Giza

Hello everyone.

For those interested by the Giza site, there are some news surrounding the current archeological exploration.

Zahi Hawass, the big boss on the field, has jut given a kind of "ego conference" in Monterey, California (12.12.08).

fora.tv...

2 major announcements :
- he will choose in March the foreign team which will be allowed to explore the shafts of the Great Pyramid and to "open" the tiny dooors discovered in 2002
- Hawass said he has just discovered with an optic camera a kind of tunnel leading from the "tomb of osiris", a famous well explored "live" in 1999, to the Great Pyramid.

So....what do you think?

Is this just a new show of Hawass-the-drummer? Or do we have some new and intersting developments here?

I watched the "live' broadcast in 1999, which was a non-event. Chances are that this new tunnel will be in the same category.

One must wait and see. Given his eye for press attention this may be more of a media production than a valuable contribution to knowledge.
