Nature magazine released a detailed article covering the new geophysical survey, noting the first use of gravitational techniques to probe density around the site alongside ground-penetrating radar. Co-author George Ballard told Nature that exploratory drilling could begin in November if Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities approves.
“If approved, careful drilling to deploy miniature tractors equipped with cameras could start in November.”

Makes sense, the king dies unexpectedly, you need a tomb real quick. It probably takes years to dig these tombs and that's assuming you've found a suitable place to dig. You pick an existing tomb of a less popular ruler, wall of some sections (but maybe leave the artifacts?), renovate the new main chamber for him, and put a new name out front.It's…

Interesting, I read about excavations in beginning of 20th century on Wiki:> In protest of the government's increasing restrictions, Carter and his associates stopped work in February 1924, beginning a legal dispute that lasted until January 1925. Under the agreement that resolved the dispute, the artefacts from the tomb would not be divided…

What happened to all that nutty looking "giant complex found under pyramids" stuff from last year that went mega-viral?

The tomb, which was built in the fourteenth century bc and discovered in 1922Discovered 104 years ago, and yet...Ballard says he doesn’t yet have permission from the Egyptian authorities to release all of the dataOh FFS... doesn't space-based ground-penetrating radar already exist?

I have fond memories of reading National Geographic magazine growing up. I remember they had memorable issues with King Tut. And Ancient Egypt in general. Made me fall in love with learning about Ancient Egypt.Anyone else here have fond memories of reading those old National Geographic issues?

So they're saying there's one tomb, that seems very real, that conceals a hidden entrance to another, larger tomb complex?Okay, sure, explore away. But I'm not coming along, and if you find any jeweled skulls don't touch them.

this would have been a fun headline 20 years ago but as technology has improved, it's getting more and more absurd that we don't just have multiple datasets from different imaging methods of the whole entire structure.

I feel like I see this headline ever 2 months. it's like cancer research. lots of fluff, never any progress. then you get the alien people saying it's cuz they're hiding aliens. i'm exhausted.

What is the physical limitation that prevents a very big metal detector from telling us if there’s gold or other signatures?
