The news:
Zahi Hawass, secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, said the archaeologists had uncovered extensive remains of a settlement — apparently an administrative, economic and military center — that flourished more than 3,500 years ago in the western desert 110 miles west of Luxor and 300 miles south of Cairo. No such urban center so early in history had ever been found in the forbidding desert.
You never know when a "settlement" will pop up.

And what is the explanation for the tunnels uncovered in a pharoah's tomb?
At an angle to this subject, I would like to say that Saladin tried to destroy the pyramids when he arrived in Egypt during the Crusades. Muslims are responsible for the pitiful state they are in.
