Tomb Time

The Egyptologists in the audience should find this news about an ancient Egyptian burial find interesting. And when you put the words "ancient" and "Egypt" together, you know you're really saying something:

Archaeologists digging in a 5,600-year-old funeral site in southern Egypt unearthed seven corpses believed to date to the era, as well as an intact figure of a cow's head carved from flint.

The American-Egyptian excavation team made the discoveries in what they described as the largest funerary complex ever found that dates to the elusive five millenia-old Predynastic era, Egypt's Supreme Council of antiquities said Wednesday.

Yup, this stuff is nearly a thousand years older than the pyramids. Say it with me folks... cooool...
