: Well, Graml said it best when he said that all over the US, news stations were broadcasting up-to-the-minute news on the political campaigns. Nothing on latest archaeological finds or anything. And Michaelson said it best when he asked why we in the US hadn't heard about this 3-year old discovery until late last year. So basically, all has been said on my part. Oh, and I dug through the BBC News website to find some information, and there is a video/audio clip there on the main page (http://news.bbc.co.uk/), but here I have provided the link to the text information, for anyone interested.

I beleive this has been covered on an History Channel program featuring Dr. Zahi Hawass
