By Walt Hickey Necropolis Archaeologists intend to open up a 3,000-year-old burial shaft at the Saqqara Necropolis in Egypt this week, one of 52 shafts near an older pyramid. The site as a whole includes tombs of military leaders, ancient board games and a copy of the Book of the Dead, and the entrance to this shaft in particular was found earlier this week. The site has also produced the name of a heretofore unknown queen, who was called either Narat or Naert. The tombs are dated to the New Kingdom, which ruled from 1570 BCE through 1069 BCE. The hope is that a structure currently being excavated contains a burial chamber that has eluded looters over the millennia.
While the Florida Grasshopper Sparrow story makes me happy, I fret over the many animals who are vanishing (for example, those in the rapidly vanishing Amazon rainforests) without us ever knowing about them.
We are an amazingly shortsighted, selfish species.
