From CNN: “Valley of the Kings tomb found; first since King Tut’s”
The 3,000-year-old face of a woman -- her eyes lined in black kohl -- stared out from a sarcophagus funerary mask through the freshly unsealed door of a tomb.The mummies were discovered by a team of Americans, thereby proving that even Egyptians can’t do Egyptology.
The five mummies inside -- possibly members of a pharaoh's court -- are already celebrities amid archaeologists' excitement over the first tomb discovered in Egypt's Valley of the Kings since that of King Tut more than 80 years ago.
