Interesting. I remember the early 90s attempts to get at the shafts.

Cue the Alien-built-the-pyramids goof-offs. These guys always come out when anything is mentioned about the Giza monuments

You doubt the greatness of the G'Aould overlords??

The Curse of the Mummy shall possess the robot. Thus the reign of SkyNet shall begin.

Thought I saw something on TV years ago where they sent some kind of mobile camera in there?

Some of the areas are fairly small and dangerous, just right for a robot.

I hope this works out, would love to see the footage.

You're right...if i remember correctly it didn't traverse the entire section. I guess this new one is supposed to accomplish that.

I remember that the robots were kind of primitive and kept conking out.

With the advances in robots (Iraq and Afghanistan have at least had a positive impact in the development of this technology) it should be very interesting.

Nice sig...

That aside... you're slacking off again.
WTF does someone have to do around here to get what he deserves.

Little RC tracked vehicle with a camera going up some shaft to discover how it had been blocked. Interesting, but it didn't see much.

Yeah that sounds like it. Nothing a fiber optic cable probably couldn't do now.
