“We took satellite images over an area in Dashur and we could see that a pyramid is buried underneath the ground. Right now we are excavating this pyramid,” Hawass told Discovery News.

any way my thought was this, its been rumored that zahi hawass has found some thing at his last dig at the giza complex either under the sphinx or in the great pyramid.
think about it, what better way to make evidence disappear than under the cover of a armed conflict, or even worse, a all out war. it has been said that one of the first things that happened in iraq after the take over of baghdad, was just about all of the artifacts from many different locations were loaded up and have never been seen again. and knowing how saddam was, he probably had some real goodies there.
could there be a link between the two, could it be that both show us that that mankind is older than we think.
If he had, he would have had to announce it. Well over 30 (and sometimes up to 100) people work at any dig and there are a large number of people secondarily associated with it. Because of issues with looters and tourists, the safest thing to do is announce the find and then put it under guard and get it out of the ground as fast as he could. There are a lot of people on the dig (workers) who are just there to dig the sand, and they gossip.
Museums have catalogs and they keep careful track of everything in there (I work at a museum as a volunteer and have helped label stuff.) So we know what was looted from the Baghdad museums.
Throughout history there's been a lot of cases of outright looting and cases of pure artifact theft. The best known case of artifact theft was in WWII when the Nazis snatched properties held by Jews, but even then there was a good "paper trail." In the case of looting, things get destroyed (melted for their gold or silver or otherwise "stripped") or they get taken to the "black market."
How old do you think humans are? Scientists think homo sapiens is around a 200,000 years old (modern-behaving ones, with clothing and so forth are around 70,000 years old) and the oldest primate ancestors (Plesidapis) are somewhere around 55 million years old.

never thought about time travel, i guess because i never have been able to embrace it.the paradox thing keeps getting in my way. but you know what if alien time travelers from the future, went back to our anicent past and did the gene splicein thing. now thats something to ponder hunh?

easy way to remove the time travel paradox......Time travel doesnt send the subject back in time, the subject remains fixed a fixed point in space and time whilst reality travels back in time around the subject.

I thought about this but seems redundant.. Why steal something that is already yours and no one knows you have it?
Mubarak has been in power since 81 and in the US pocket (mostly due to republicans i might add, tptb..) Mubarak is in the pocket of the US and Hawass is in the pocket of Mubarak to even get to his position.. If something ever found we wouldnt know, no reason to steal it.edit on 30-1-2011 by ShogunAssassins because: (no reason given)
