Talk:Royal Cache

Dates
Can any dates be added? When was it discovered? (1881?)

Charles Wilbour
This article neglects to credit Charles Wilbour's important contribution in finding/securing the tomb. It was Wilbour who identified the villains after numerous attempts to get them to 'come clean.' Good thing too, because soon after the clearing of the tomb, major parts of it collapsed (because of the friability of the rock, it is always at risk of further collapse). The standard Egyptology narration, in variance with the facts, always over-credits Maspero, denigrates Brughsch, apologizes for the Rasuls (even credits them; after all the cave is now named after them!) and completely ignores Wilbour. Curious considering this find is as important, if not more important than the tomb of Tut. I guess Egyptology is still, to this day, a messy and political endeavour. Some fully credentialed Egyptologists actually cite the movie, "The Night of Counting the Years" (an avowed piece of fiction) as a source.

Where now?
So where are its former inhabitants now? 141.243.112.20 (talk) 01:18, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Immediately after the discovery they were shipped to the main [|Ancient Egyptian Museum] in Cairo, where most of them still reside, in the "Royal Mummies" room which has been recently restored.


 * This article could really do with an overhaul -- the story behind the find of the cache is fascinating, and is the subject of several books. Captmondo (talk) 12:57, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Respect for the dead
The addition of photographs does not enhance the article imo. In my own culture it is considered by many people as gross desecration. Surely the article can be read without such images? Anyone who wants to see them can be directed to the media section of wikipedia. Would anyone object to their removal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 51.199.3.206 (talk) 17:49, 22 April 2022 (UTC)


 * As no objections raised I have made the change. Thank you. 92.40.194.39 (talk) 14:36, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * You already tried at least twice on Ahmose-Nefertari. Once again, Wikipedia is not censored. Your complaints are no more valid than those of those who do not want to see depictions of Muhammad on his page. Just give up. Lone-078 (talk) 16:45, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
