1. P.S. one of the things that always amazes me is the paint in the tombs.
King's Tut's tomb had managed to remain undiscovered for 3,000 years. Other tombs, however, had been found, opened and robbed not long after the pharoh had gone on to eternity. And certainly, the tombs have been visited by thousands of tourists, all of whom breathed moisture many of whom have lit candles and shone flashlights on the walls. Yet, the paint colors remain bright and the paint is not peeling or cracked.

Some covet the gold and jewelry in the tombs. I want to know why I can't find paint like that.
