Czech Egyptologists uncover intact 4,500 year-old tomb

It’s not everyday that archaeologists can boast a discovery such as this one: the finding of a fully-intact archaeological site dating back 4,500 years. That is exactly what happened in the pyramid fields of Abusir, Egypt, where Czech experts recently opened a tomb belonging to an Egyptian dignitary. Czech experts revealed the news just a few days ago, having first thoroughly documented the state of the chamber back in November. According to experts, such a find has not been seen in 50 years.

Holy crap that is awesome. I hope they release a detailed report on the find along with pictures. It's not often you find an intact tomb of a high ranking official like this. I'd love to know what they find.

You're right for the past 5 years there has been a findings boom across the world. Makes me think what the hell were they doing before.

Still finding the things at a reasonably decent clip. We're just hearing about them more.

The world's better connected in terms of news and communications these days; it's much easier for finds like this to be reported all over the place, as opposed to taking their time working from the academy to students to the public over years.
