DR. Hawass the Superstar

This is a rundown of Dr. Hawass's intentions for his excavations in the Valley of the Kings though most is already known. Dr. Hawass failed to mention that the anomaly now regarded as KV 64 was found by "The Amarna Royal Tombs Project".

Loved the photo of the tunnel in the tomb of Seti I.

Great things to come from the Doctor.
