Another possible entrance to a different section of an Egyptian pyramid. But why would they back-fill it after they were finished with construction? We’re they keeping everyone out, or something in?

“We believe that the continuity of the shallow structure and the deep large structure is important. From the survey results, we cannot determine the material causing the anomaly, but it may be a large subsurface archaeological structure.”

Via Chris Rufert on our group: “Not retro in the spirit of what we all consider retro, but Uncommon Valor was released on this day in 1983. And it has Gene Hackman with a head topper and a M1 Garand. What is there not to like? This remains one of my favorites. It was the first movie to really address the Vietnam MIA issue.”

How many worthless bronze medallions were used in finding this location?

“An Italian archaeological mission has discovered the remains of a sun temple belonging to an ancient Egyptian king near Cairo, the Egyptian antiquities ministry said.”

“The temple of King Nyuserre is believed to be from the Fifth Dynasty and the remains were found in the Abusir necropolis south of the Egyptian capital. It is part of a monumental complex dedicated to the cult of the sun god Ra and is one of the few solar temples identified to date.”

They don't build men like “Crash Harrison.” A REAL action hero!

“But after crashing his plane a second time trying to liftoff for a mission in 1944, fellow pilots started calling him “Crash.” Little did they know at the time that Harrison would crash two more times before leaving the service prior to the end of World War II.”

“Harrison, 103, died on Nov. 20 in Saskatchewan, Canada, according to CTV News. “

“Harrison living past the century mark is kind of amazing when one considers he nearly died four times in fiery plane crashes. Overall, Harrison survived 19 missions during WWII for the Royal Canadian Air Force. But despite his bravery and decorated service time, friends and family recalled Harrison as a humble soul as he was laid to rest after a funeral service on Dec. 6.”

Reginald "Crash" Harrison lived through four plane crashes in WWII and lived to talk about it. He died in Canada recently at age 103.

Welcome home…

“World War II Medal of Honor recipient to return home for burial, 80 years after his death - World War II US Army Capt. Willibald Bianchi survived two chest wounds from Japanese gunfire, the Bataan Death March, wretched captivity in prisoner-of-war camps and the sinking of his first POW transport ship by his own countrymen. For his bravery in battle, he was given the Medal of Honor, the US military’s highest award for valor. But Bianchi never knew of his commendation, nor would he ever see his Minnesota home again.”
