Hardly real archaeology - but I still had high hopes (until I watched the bloody thing).

Few people realise that Tut was almost two millennia after the Great Pyramid was built - the utterly unique structure that may still hold so many secrets (unlike the rest which are rather mundane in the end).

The original building with it's dazzling polished white limestone casing stones (and perhaps gold leafed black meteorite capstone) would have been the greatest sight of the ancient world! :thumbsup:

I am a man of science - but quite frankly the Great Pyramid is unique in so many ways, the precision, the perfection, (include advanced mathematics such as the Golden Ratio built into it) that it baffles me.

As I say the others are rather easily explained but not that 6 million ton structure .

I watched one where they DNA tested to find King Tut lineage was pretty interesting.
