Found close to Tut's tomb. I'll bet there are many tombs left undiscovered in the Valley of Kings... contrary to common belief. Cool stuff.

Yeah, isn't it rad!!?? I've always been into Egyptological stuff; always thought it was facinating.

When I was a teen, I thought that I would get into either Archaeology (Egyptology in particular) or Paleontology.

Instead, I got into trouble playing music professionally, abusing subtances, pollinating nearly every flower in nearly every state in the country and, basically, behaving quite poorly. My father (an Anthropologist) was a little disappointed with my life choices, I think.

However, in my spare time, I studied Paleontology for fun, and kept an eye on the latest in Egyptological discoveries... still do. It sort of keeps me linked to a time when/where my personal goals were a little higher, nostalgically speaking.

I've always been interested in this stuff, but sometimes I feel just a little uneasy about the whole idea of it--I mean, would I want a bunch of people rummaging around through my family's burial plot? They call people who break into these places and steal things "grave robbers" or "looters," but when scientists do the same thing, although done openly, they're making "discoveries."

Hmmm.....

When I was in second grade, an egyptologist came to school and did an assembly (on Hallowe'en) and showed us mummies and all sorts of artifacts. I developed a strong interest in Egyptian archæology at that point, which stayed with me for a long time.

There was no mention in the article of a curse. There's bound to be a curse.

But it was a small tomb, and not royalty, so it'll be a small curse,
like getting a flat tire, or a hard drive crash.

"Damnit!"

Hows that for a curse?
