One of the long-range plans of the Egyptian SCA (Supreme Council on Antiquities) is to build a large museum out at Giza to replace the building in downtown Cairo which is too small and outmoded for the collection. The Grand Egyptian Museum, as it is called, is located right in the area you have highlighted. So, yeah, I'm not surprised there is digging going on.
AM: From wiki : On January 5, 2002 Egyptian President Mubarak laid the foundation stone. The museum site is two kilometers from the Giza pyramids.
Looks like you're probably right Liberty, maybe the purpose of Hawass' is a little less clandestine than us conspiracy theorists like to fantasize.
AM: Very interesting Scott,
I also enjoyed your other thread about your attempt to circumvent Hawass' wall.
AM: Speaking of which, could this digging operation be the purpose of the wall? If I'm not mistaken the wall would encapsulate this entire area being excavated right?

RR: Have been fascinated with Giza ever since I was a kid . And I've always been curious as to what might be hidden under all that sand . This looks interesting . But whatever is found , what are the chances that we will be informed about it ?
RR: Also , I thought Hawaas resigned ?
RR: And what is the GHMB forum ? Is that Graham Hancock ?
iforget: You've got the new road with a new building at the end of it and then expansion of the site along the road.
The Catacombs of Anubis project, led by Paul Nicholson of the School of History, Archaeology and Religion, is examining a labyrinth of tunnels beneath the desert at Saqqara in Egypt. The tunnels make up the catacomb for the burial of animals sacred to the dog or jackal-headed god Anubis.
