Today, ABC News announced a new find of ancient tombs and pyramids--BBC will air a special next week on the find which was discovered by Sarah Parcak with the help of NASA satellite imagery.
"All of a sudden, these features jump out at you," she said. "It's almost like you've got Superman or Superwoman X-ray vision and you're able to look at the world a little differently."
Pretty nifty! (Now we just need to keep Zahi Hawass away from the find!)

That's so cool! I love Ancient Egypt, but don't know much about it.
That is fantastic! I can't wait to hear more about what they find.
Wow, NASA and pyramids in the same story! Very cool. I actually worked with some of the NASA satellite imagery engineers, once upon a time, and it's amazing what a few pixels of radiation detected from space can tell you.
Thanks for sharing!
Wow, I know people worry that satellites are invading our privacy, but the worlds they've opened in space and on Earth are amazing. I can't wait to see what they dig up!
Ha! I see that Susan and I were both wowed at the same moment. :D
Oh, that's so cool!!!
Keep Zahi Hawass away from them, hahaha. His hands are on everything in Egypt, aren't they?
That's so awesome! Yay archaeologists!
Interesting! I like to imagine Disney being excavated someday-- and Egypt still full of secrets.
Stephanie, I send an award your way. Come by and pick it up.
That's awesome. I tried to find more information about them, but several sites said that footage will be aired later. But I want to see these findings now.
That is very cool! The archaeologists of the past would be floored by how this was found! :)
I wonder what future scientists will think when they unearth the roller coasters :)
Sweet! Egypt is so cool because it has so many eras of history atop one another. Just think what we'll find in the years to come as technology improves:)
Wow! That is so exciting! I can't wait to hear more about it. :-)
