Snakes… why did it have to be snakes?
Come on, cryptoarchaeology is fun! The tomb of St. Paul has been unearthed (possibly), and it’s right where everyone thought it would be. Australian researchers, however, found a hidden tomb by accident, discovering the best 26th Dynasty find to date off of the main chamber of another well-known tomb that they were investigating. (Which reminds me of a slew of Starbucks jokes, like The Onion article “New Starbucks opens in restroom of existing Starbucks” and the bit in Shrek 2 where a mob flees from one coffee store to another coffee store of the same name across the street, but I digress…)
Not all secret tombs are found by accident, however, so it’s good to know that someone had the good sense to try to use inexplicable cosmic rays to find hidden Mayan burial chambers.
