  Imagine if it were a more progressive place... it all seems shady as hell... i wonder if the government had the resources to investigate and map it all. >
  
  Can you elaborate on what you mean by “it all” and what part you consider shady >

  A "joint Egyptian-British archaeological mission"...?   Haven't the Egyptians learned their lesson yet? >
  
  I can almost hear the British Museum frothing at the mouth >
  
  So yea the British Museum needs to start repatriating artefacts. But let’s not forget a lot of these relics would not exist without the professional archeologists who re discovered and documented them. >
  
  The artifacts would exist. Theyd just have stayed where they were. >
  
  Almost every Egyptian tomb was looted centuries before the British empire even existed. Countless artefacts were lost due to grave robbing, at least the treasures from the graves the British looted are displayed in a museum. >
  
  Ironically enough, most of the looting done was by the following priests and pharaohs because they wanted the stuff in the older tombs to make their tombs even nicer. >
  
  What could possibly go wrong? >
  
  I hope to live to see the day when there's an archeological discovery in Egypt and the top comment isn't some stupid curse joke. >

  They have searched about .001% of the Sahara Desert. Which is about the same size of the United States. We haven’t even scratched the surface.  We know precisely Dick about what’s buried out there. >
  
  You are way less likely to find anything on the Sahara, however. It is not a new thing. >
  
  I once was traveling through the Sahara by jeep, and walked away from the car at some moment. Climbed a Rocky outcrop, spotted something. Turned out to be a mobile phone…. >
  
  Civilization — it is spreading! Soon it will have consumed the desert! 😱 >

  Generally speaking there is usually records of prominent things, but by records that could mean something pretty enduring like stone carvings, stuff a bit more fragile like articles written on paper/papyrus, and then verbal records through stories or songs. And unfortunately historically literacy wasn't as widespread as it is now, so the most prominent sources of information was probably the spoken word, which is liable to be forgotten after generations or twisted and muddled after a centuries long game of telephone.
  Like I said, this is me generalizing, I can't speak for the specifics. But having recently read up on the list history of the dark ages it seems this would suffer from much the same issues. >

  In all probability the tomb is empty, robbed clean eons ago. >
  
  Yeah...if there was anything shiny in there THAT would be the photo... Not a tent in the dirt. >

  If there is something cursed in there...it's too late, the party has already started.
