"For the past two years, archaeologists have been working at Saqqara, an archaeological site in Giza, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) south of Cairo. Recently, they discovered a trove of coffins and mummies, which may belong to some of King Tut's closest generals and advisors during his reign (1333 B.C. until his death in 1323 B.C.).

Buried within these shafts, archaeologists found a "huge limestone sarcophagus" along with "300 beautiful coffins from the New Kingdom period."

I recently read about a 2,000-year-old chinese mummy preserved in an acidic solvent. Her skin and hair fully intact. Her limbs still supple. Blood in her veins appeared to be in well preserved condition. You can see the mummy here.

I almost dismissed this article when I thought they were talking about melon's magic powers of preserving mummies. They can't be saying that, right? The body was so well preserved that the remains in her stomach look like melons. Right...?

Just makes me wonder why archeologists don't just leave these mummies where they lie? They were doing good for thousands of years! Why compromise the integrity of the specimen?! Or, if you're feeling ethical, the wishes of the long dead?

DHFranklin t1_iwpxjr6 wrote

Because that isn't what archeology is for.

Archeology is the study of past human behavior through artifacts. If we leave those artifacts including anthropological ones where they are we can't study them. We can't learn from them and us.

That doesn't mean you can't put it all back when everything is recorded. However, that's your answer.

DerWaechter_ t1_iwqb2rt wrote

It used to be destructive in the early days, because it was essentially just a way of committing "totally not grave robbery"

Modern day archeology is extremely conscious about the potential to destroy uncovered pieces, and will handle them with care. The priority is to not destroy things in the process

DHFranklin t1_iwqrnz6 wrote

Any time you go to a museum and learn something from the artifacts, you yourself are doing archeology.

I think we would all agree that the cool roman mosaics and other art buried under long forgotten farm houses need to be excavated.

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Gulanga t1_iwpmrxq wrote

He's actually one of the least famous pharaohs in history. The only reason we know much about him is that he was so forgotten that even his tomb was lost, and therefore it avoided being looted until we discovered it in modern times.

So when we look at all the treasure that was found in Tutankhamen's tomb, we have to remember that this was the tomb of one of the most insignificant and un-famous (as much as that can be said of a pharaoh) rulers of his time. Just imagine what Rameses the 2nd was buried with.

25

DHFranklin t1_iwq6kas wrote

Most famous in our time, not his.

Tut was initially so famous that his traveling exhibit gave birth to the "block buster" museum exhibit. His artifacts have to this day been seen more than any other by a looooong shot compared to other pharaohs.

Maybe the Wright Flyer in the Smithsonain Air and Space museum has seen more vistors in the same amount of time.

No one said that though.

I'm also pointing out that in history, that is the written record of the past, he is very unknown.

DHFranklin t1_iwqsq6c wrote

It is the centennial of his discovery though. Sure the forgotten son of Akenaten was all but lost to history until his discovery. He is the most famous pharaoh in the last century's history.

We don't need to be unnecessarily pedantic. Anyone being generous in understanding, gets it.

I was giving some insight into how strange it is that we consider perhaps the least famous pharaoh the most famous, which I think is quite interesting. At the same time as I underline why we see him as famous.

You are the one responding trying to correct something that was already showing both sides, by arguing for a statement no one made. So who is trying to be pedantic here?

If you read the article it says the pyramid is in Giza and the mummies are in the Valley of the Kings. It is pretty weird to have a single article about sites so far away from each other. The confusion in the title makes a little more sense then.

Edit: I was mistaken. For some reason I thought the title of the article was different than the post here. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

svarogteuse t1_iwmghhf wrote

Proper English grammar on "and pyramid of an unknown queen unearthed near King Tut's tomb" in says that either both the mummies and the pyramids are near Tut's tomb or the pyramid is near his tomb but not just the mummies. Phrases like that do not refer to only the first element of a list, its either all or the last.

So no the title still doesn't make sense if the mummies are near his tomb.

The famous pyramids and the Valley of the Kings yes. Pyramids were built in several eras of Egyptian history from the 3rd dynasty (2600 B.C.) to the last being built in the 18th Dynasty (1150 B.C.) which was the same era as Tutankhamun (1341-1323 BC). I don't know what era the one in question came from.

They say it's a stone's throw away. The pyramid, the coffins, the mummies, the artifacts...

I don't know who can throw a stone hundreds of kms but I'd like to meet them.

svarogteuse t1_iwpx97q wrote

Google maps said just short of 8 hours.

372 miles is much closer when you have well built roads like interstates. Even taking American state roads can add significant times to a trip. My trip to see the family is about 2:15 by interstate, yet almost 4 hours by state road that parallels and continuously crosses the interstate. I've drive both routes as many as 6 times a year for nearly three decades, the times are pretty consistent.

I have just one question: How do they keep finding these things there. Every stone must have been turned around twice by now.

TrevorsMailbox t1_iwn4w18 wrote

I think you underestimate how big earth is big, how many stones there are and how long people have been hanging out here.

In places like Egypt, check out old black and white photos (and old drawings made before we had cameras) of things like the sphynx and old temple structures... They were so buried in sand it's a miracle anyone even saw half this stuff. There's a lot of sand and dirt dude. Then you add in things like floods...cities get abandoned and in a few decades they were forgotten even by locals because they got buried so deep so fast.

Think land is big? Try the oceans and seas. Humans have been surfin' them waves like bosses for millenia...aaannnddd been drowning for millenia. Ancient ship wrecks offer more context but they're still rare (to discover) and incredibly hard to get to. Sometimes we can't get to them and we have to send WALL-E.

Places like ancient costal cities allllll over the world and huuuuge swaths of land like Doggerland are places 100000x harder to locate, let alone get artifacts from. Managing to discover them is hard enough to begin with, and if we find anything it's usually accidentally stumbled on while diving or fishing. Even then we almost never have much context for those finds.

Rivers man, rivers move over time. Settlements on the banks of rivers and coastlines are now 20 feet under dirt and 5 km inland from where the coast was a few thousand years ago or miles away from where a river may be flowing now. It's hard to find old river settlements when the damn rivers won't sit still. Like the Nile, parts of that bitch have been moving constantly over time. Happens in Europe a lot, they find a settlement that was clearly by a water source like a river at some point, but the damn river is gone...And the coastal villigaes and cities are sooo cool. You can just imagine them all dry and shit and bustling with people. We've found some and know where a few are, but 9 times out of 10 most of the older sites are probably miles out from the modern coast and scattered 100 meters under the sea by now.

Hell, there's still shit locked up in glaciers and permafrost! Unfortunately we're melting them like pros, but yeah, we're finding stuff that's been frozen under ice for thousands of years as the glaciers receed.

And bogs?! Bogs are cool as fuck bro! People don't generally go playing in bogs, that's a bad idea, especially in crazy remote places like Northern Russia or deep in the Congo. Buuuutttt those places weren't so remote to the people who used to live there thousands of years ago and they 100% tossed all kinds of shit in the bogs. We find awesome stuff in bogs all over the world when we go looking...and again, there's a whole bunch of bogs...bogs not on any maps...in places humans haven't set foot anywhere near since the time when ancient bog dudes were chilling, just tossin' other ancient bog dudes in bogs.

Cities and construction. This shit is so irritating, I mean I get it, but damn. Look at places like Mexico city that have been inhabited for thousands of years up until now. They just found some buried 800 year old Aztec shit this year when a pawn shop was being renovated. I mean Mexico city is huuuuge and coooovered in buildings, imagine all the badass stuff that's hiding beneath. It's the same all over the world, when ancient people found a good place to kick up their feet they tended to stay...and so did the generation after them... And after that... And after that... Until you're finding fucking Kings buried under parking lots. Hell, do you know how many damn Tells there are? Cities built on towns built on villages built on settlements and then forgotten for sooo long they're just big ass dirt mounds, sometimes with new stuff built on top of them too! People just thought, oh cool a mound and walked on by, and didn't realize that that mound represented centuries of occupation. Layers and layers of history. Aleppo is another good example. Dude Aleppo is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world; it may have been inhabited since the sixth millennium BC! and there's STILL mother fuckers pumpin' gas and getting groceries there! How insanely mind blowing is that?!

Climate plays a big part too, places that used to be rainforest or lush savannah or forests thousands or even seas hundreds of thousands of years ago have completely changed. To the point where the ancient people who lived there wouldn't even recognize it. Bro, fucking ice ages and come and gone since we started poking each other with pointy sticks.

Caves? Humans and our ancestors have always loved caves just as much as we do now. But caves are hard to find, explore and them shits disappear in over growth or collapse, never to be found again. It's been what, like less than 100 years since we discovered Lascaux and that awesome place had people painting in it like 17,000+ years ago when there were still rhinos in France.

I'm not even going to start talking about how up until very very recently we thought humans had only been in the America's for like 16,000 years...until they found some damn foot prints of humans walking for miles with giant sloths... Those foot prints are 23,000 years old! And if there were humans there at that point you can almost say with 100% certainty that there were humans there before 23,000 years ago.

That just shows you how little we know and how much we have yet to find.

Yo, aboriginals of Australia have been there so long they have stories (that the still tell!) about straight chillin' with mega-fauna...stories about walking through valleys and mountains...stories so old that those mountains are under the ocean now...at least 60,000-75,000 years they've been there, AT LEAST.

BRUH...The San people of Southern Africa...those straight up hardcore badasses...Their culture is estimated to have been active for 140,000-100,000 years, if not longer...and they're still doing their damn thing with bows and arrows man, chasing prey to exhausting like the good old days...100,000 years PLUS that they've been doing the stuff their still doing TODAY.

It helps that there's been a huge leap in technology in the past 20 years, like LiDAR and GPR. Even then, I'd say most of the stuff we've discovered using tech are still a "mystery" because they're damn hard to get to....too deep into jungles or too remote (like all those cities we've found in the Amazon) to explore for years to come.

We've still got lifetimes of stuff to discover and we've already been digging up old shit and trying to figure out the lives of those that came before us for thousands of years.

Like ancient dudes used to have museums too. They dug up stuff from people who were ancient to them too and filled the museums. Ancient dudes wrote books that are ancient to us about the old stuff they found from dudes that were ancient to them. Ancient museums dude, how crazy is that to think about. Ancient libraries too. Just love this shit.

Since this started there's always been someone who came before us... We've always been fascinated, in one way or another, with things that are older than us made by us.

Humans and our biological ancestors have been playing the game of life for millions of years and it's only in the past few thousand years that we've been doing the archaeology thing and only a hundred years since we've been good at it. We've found and then lost and then found and lost again more stuff than you can wrap your head around.

Archaeology is a trip.

In addition to the other replies, the weather there is really, oppressively hot. Going out in the middle of nowhere to search for sites requires lots of resources like fuel, water, food as well as the equipment to excavate sites. It's not like many gas stations or restaurants are nearby. So it's actually quite dangerous if you get lost.
