I Read This In Yesterdays Express,

we both like programs about Egypt,



so I found the article more than interesting, the burial site is believed to have been built sometime 3300 years ago by Ramesses II, 24 strange and sinister coffin shaped black boxes were discovered buried in a hillside cave system, 12 miles south of The Great Pyramid of Giza, each one is estimated to weigh between 70 and 100 tons, most of these boxes are made of rose granite, an extremely hard rock mined at a quarry located about 800 kilometres from Saqqara while other boxes were made from an even harder material, diorite, found even further away from Saqqara,

 the precision of the boxes is another characteristics that has left researchers or anyone who visits the place, baffled, with deviations registering in the thousandths of an inch, so who made them and why? no one really knows, but if we go to Egypt this will defiantly be on our list of places to visit.
