Has anyone heard anything about any advances in the search for the tomb of Imhotep. After I am finished whth the Army, I plan to complete my Egyptology degree. In a discovery channel show titled "The Mummy of Imhotep", they go into depth of the king of egypts tomb, he built and the sub-chambers under it. Now if you seen the show, you would know that at the end of the program, they say that when they were closeing up the shaft; at the very top of the it, in the side of the wall, there was a 6 foot wide by 1 foot high shaft found. They show one of the helpers crawling into it and useing a laser distance finder to show that the shaft goes out 80 meters { 240 Feet }. This would put the shaft right under the Step Pyramid! Now this show was made in 2000, but I have heard nothing about what was ever done with this shaft. Does anyone know anything else about it, or maybe somewhere I could go to find out more. If it helps the archiologiests name was Mysliwiec. Well thanks for any help you give.

I saw this show too. They used a robot thing to go further but, I have never heard what they found. I think if something had come of it we would have heard of it by now.

If anyone would know, it would be Dr. Zahi Hawass, Director of Antiquities for Egypt. He has his own website, and you can e-mail him from there to find out.
