Do you think there are still more treasure and great discoveries to be found in Egypt? I definitely think so. The Egyptian Kingdom of old was a great civilization, stretching from Nubia in the south to Lower Egypt in the North. Various Pharaohs had their temples, capitals and graves spread across this vast country. There is a definite chance that there are still lost treasure to be found, as well as something more important, the lost knowledge that can teach us more about this civilization. Some of the most intriguing finds still to be found are the following:
Walking in the Valley of the Kings you experience the vastness of this area, selected by the Pharaohs for its remoteness and security. I however was not aware that most of the action in the current Valley is taking place in the East valley and that there are the possibility of more finds being made in the West valley, which has apparently not been excavated to its full extent. I am hopeful that more finds will come to light in the next 10 years.
One also should not forget about Nubia (Northern Sudan) as this area still has got many secrets.
Only time will tell.
- The tomb of Nefertiti
- The tomb of Cleopatra
- The tomb of the heretic Akhenaten - his mummy has been identified, but his original grave has not been found.
