OT, but don´t miss it!

Maybe you remember when Rudolf Gantenbrink in 1993 steered a camera robot into a 65 m long shaft of the big Cheops pyramid of Gizeh?

He ended at a stone plate whichs looked like a "door".
Now, it is planned to repeat the action and this time to drill a whole through that plate ( which is only 9 cm thick )and to introduce an endoscope through it.
National Geographic will show that on TV.

Optimists are awaiting Cheops´ treasure there. Sceptics say there won´t be anything, because a few centuries after Cheops thiefs have had several months time for plundering.

Nevertheless, that broadcast should be thrilling anyways, more than 4000 years after people have been in there...

Unfortunately, I don´t know of any date except it to be on a Monday. Maybe it has been shown already yesterday?
Anybody who knows, please let me know.

Hey R-Atwork!

Terrific, thanks!!!!!
So the story is not at its end yet.

And:

During the broadcast, Hawass made another find by lifting the lid on a stone sarcophagus found in a tomb built near the Great Pyramid, revealing the intact skeleton apparently of a man dating back to the period of the pyramid's construction some 4,500 years ago.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">What a coincidence! Isn´t it?
The great Mr. Hawass, naturally. -With his special guest live on screen.
Why must they ruin thrilling reality with arrangements? [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img]

Thanks again!

It's pretty interesting, too bad it may take another year for the next chapter of the story. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I saw that yesterday.. They opened a coffin and talked for a while, I eventually turned it.. They did show the robot in the corner of the screen with a little ticker "live from inside the tomb, the robot will blah blah in 20 minutes".. I didn't see the whole thing though..
