Desecrating ancient treasure ? augers ??? - who ever gave her permission to do this ? As for "educating egyptians" - what a cheek ! ! Egyptians know their history, why do you think there are hundreds of tunnels under the houses in Cairo and Luxor ?

One tunnel at least that I know of too, under the Nile in Luxor..
I often wonder why its never been looked into, though I know its flooded, and probably damaged. But when you think about it, why would they not ?
Penny is kind of right in her thinking.. Do not forget, the true Ancients left Egypt a long time ago.. Not stupid those Ancients...
