Always been fascinated by Ancient Egypt. I'm looking forward to when they actually get into the new rooms. Hopefully it will contain a bit more than Al Capones vault and Geraldo Rivera won't be involved :))

Radar scans of King Tut's tomb have revealed two spaces on the north and east chambers of the pharaonic mausoleum that could contain the "discovery of the century," Egypt's antiquities ministry said Thursday.
Antiquities Minister Mamdouh al-Damaty told a press conference that metal and organic masses were revealed by the scans, signaling that the rooms could possibly contain funerary objects.
"It could be the discovery of the century. It's very important for Egyptian history and the history of the world," he said, adding that the chambers may well have belonged to a king or queen. Further tests will be done on March 31 to discover more about the newly-discovered spaces, he added.

Very cool. Lets hope ISIS doesn't get there first and blow the whole damned thing up.
I bet when they open it it will be a place where the workers hid to smoke a cig and have a nap and hieroglyph some naughty images about the overseers!

Here is an article from NPR that has some maps of the tomb.

Probably where the giant boulders are kept.

That or the sand trap.
I wonder if my D&D 1e books are in there?
You're in a small chamber lit by an eerie green light. An extremely narrow tunnel exits to the west. A dark corridor leads ne. There is an emerald here the size of a plover's egg!
