'stones throw from King Tut's tomb'

...and it took THIS long to know there was another tomb nearby?

I've been to the Valley of the King's and Tut's tomb, there is a lot of stuff going on in there.

It's completely reasonable to me that there would be things they are still discovering (and will continue to discover) in that area

Giza could be reasonably considered a stone's throw from where this site is located, but neither Giza nor this site is a stone's throw away from the Valley of the Kings (e.g. where Tut is), unless ppl are want to throw stones many, many miles. How unnecessarily confusing that is...

Eh, Egyptian Council of Antiquities isn't really big on trying to discover anything that might undermine the current understandings on history.

History = tourism, and that’s really their only export.

But wouldn't revolutionizing the understanding of history kinda make them relevant again, you know like when the Valley of The Kings was first discovered???
