Not long ago it was said as much of Ancient Egyptian culture was still hidden from human eyes as has been discovered. That may be changing, as The Land of the Nile continues to yield its secrets to archaeological techniques both cutting edge and traditional. Greg Taylor summarizes the confirmation of a new discovery about the internal structure of the Great Pyramid. He also embeds a video presenting more detail about the instrumentation used and the work of the Scan Pyramids Project. From this truly monumental discovery we turn to a rather more modest find of Egypt Animal Mummies Showcased at Saqqara Near Cairo. BBC News reports on a “large cache” found last year near the famous Step Pyramid at Saqqara. Such discoveries bring the past to the present in tangible ways. Additionally, Micah Hanks says “Often when visiting historic places there is a feeling or a ‘presence’ that one may begin to sense.” Hanks discusses something in between a physical hunk of the past and a mere feeling in Paleontological “Ghosts” Are Now Making Appearances, and in Surprising New Ways. Ground-penetrating radar now allows detection of animal and human footprints without the need for excavations, which destroy so much potential evidence as they seek to uncover it. (WM)
