  • Do you believe it? Another room in Tut's tomb?

    : uncovering a hidden chamber in the tomb of King
    : Tutankhamun, also known as King Tut.

    I'm skeptical. To put it mildly.

    Why would they take such care to hide his Hotwheels
    collection but not him?

    Doesn't make a lot of sense to me, and that's BEFORE
    we consider that they've been finding "Secret Chambers"
    for years now...

    But it's not just the fact that an exhaustive search using
    the latest technology has already taken place, it's the
    lack of a motive.

    What could they possibly hide? His Playboy collection?

    A hidden Ka statue? Hmm?

    If they were THAT desperate then why build a whole room?
    Why not a small space, or even in the floor? The bigger you
    make it the easier to find, right?

    So I'm voting "No."
