Talking Pyramids: Ancient Egyptian Pyramids

There is a great batch of 28 photos posted by Fox News from the recently discovered tombs of the workers at Giza, the pyramids of Giza, the mummy of Pa-Ib, and some photos of the Ptolemaic temple unearthed in the Kom el-Dekkah region of Alexandria that was dedicated to the cat goddess Bastet, the Bent Pyramid of Sneferu and other recent archaeological finds from ancient Egypt.

There is also a very short video of Dr Hawass and the tombs of the workers at Giza.
