Great Find in Egypt

Great Find in Egypt
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-46329051

Quote:Ancient Egyptian tomb unveiled

Quote:The treasures of an ancient Egyptian tomb, thought to be more than 3,500 years old, have been unveiled.
An archaeological mission, affiliated with France's University of Strasbourg, made the discovery in the Assasseef valley near the city of Luxor.
Two sarcophagi, each containing a mummy, were found. All are in perfect condition.
The archaeological dig also discovered around 1,000 funerary statues at the site.

One wonders what Ancient Eqypt could have accomplished had they not wasted so much of their time and energy on worrying about the "next" life instead of the only one they had.

Reminds me of today's religitards in a way.

Evolution really doesn’t work unless religitards can be prevented from reproducing.

I look forward to seeing an article on this tomb in an upcoming issue of ARCHAEOLOGY. Clap

They evolve only so far as to survive in the environment in which they live.  98% of Ancient Egyptians were peasant farmers for whom survival meant "do what you're told."

If you listen to Atlas it seems to me that the idea has spread to Saudi Arabia.... and most of the rest of the Near East!

The most amazing thing about ancient Egypt, was it was built by like 16 people.

One could say that without their sites on religitarded things they wouldn’t have been as great in their striving
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

If you call efforts wasted on dead end endeavors great.

Sean Spicer wanted our reporters to do what they were told and look who he worked for.
