The exciting news from Monday is that we found a tomb!
Although there had been some talk that the pit the students were digging was a tomb, there did not seem to be much chance that it really was. Then, on Monday, we got a call that Angus had found the entranceway to the tomb! We all rushed to the site to do our different jobs. Katie, Laura, and Jessica are supervising all the workman and students as they dig. I have been working on site, as well, taking the measurements and mapping our progress.
Right now, it seems like the tomb is very large. The entrance way is probably about 7 meters long, and the chamber appears to be about 5 meters in diameter.
We are just beginning excavation — I’ll write often as we keep digging!
