Field Work

Ongoing field research conducted directly on the Giza Plateau, focused on structural observation, architectural analysis, and documentation of anomalies within complex archaeological contexts.

The work is based on direct, non-invasive observation and aims to identify architectural constraints, discontinuities, and contextual patterns often overlooked in conventional interpretations.

Ancient golden jewelry found in Egyptian tomb

(AP) -- Egyptian officials says archaeologists have found ancient golden jewelry in a pharaonic-era tomb that belonged to a senior official under Egypt's most powerful queen. The Supreme Council of Antiquities says five golden earrings and two rings were found in the tomb of Gahouti, the head of the treasury under Queen Hatshepsut, who ruled Egypt 3,500 years ago.

Tuesday's statement says the tomb was located on the west bank of the Nile River in Luxor, a southern Egyptian city famous for its Valley of the Kings and other ruins from pharaonic times.
The tomb had been looted, and its gates were engraved with text from the "Book of the Dead," which Egyptians believed would be needed in the afterlife.
