I think yhe furthest archaeologists were able to descend into the then lapis coffin was when someone jokingly decided to bring the featureless flint bust along on their rappel.

Considering X-rays are only effective within ~2 meters there won't be much to see w/r/t who's doing the banging, or more accurately, the pulsing

Does it predate Alexander?

That was my first thought. Alexander's body was moved from Memphis to Alexandria during the date range they're attributing to the site. That would be something, to finally find him.

Booo. Close thread.

They are probably going to put together international committees that will take a year just to decide what scans to do.

All kidding about the massive black sarcophagus and accompanying featureless alabaster head aside, that would be very cool if it was the case. How many really famous ancient people are there that we know exactly where their bones are?

Unless you think the flood in the story of Noah's ark happened between 300bc and today then... No. No it's not antediluvian

If you have a fetlife account, some large diameter plastic tubing, container of mail order ladybugs and a funnel I think you could get pretty close. Play your cards right and you could cam it and actually make money in the endeavor.

Do they have robots for opening these sort of things? Operated from a bunker of course.
