Discovery in the Valley of the Kings

Archaeologists have identified the largest sarcophagus in the Valley of the Kings as belonging to the Pharaoh Merneptah, who was reburied years ago.  The sarcophagus has been in pieces for 3,000 years, and is a set of four with the largest towering 8 feet high and 13 feet long.

To me, what is even more interesting, is the zero mentions for my good friend Dr. Zahi Hawass, who was apparently not involved at all in the project. The twilight of the dictator archaeologist? I haven't heard anything about him recently so possibly....

Also, apparently Merneptah was responsible for the first recorded use of the term "Israel" to describe the people he attached in the Levant.
