Kittens Are Jerks Posted January 24, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Really fascinating, thank you for posting this. The tomb is stunningly beautiful, and it was interesting to learn about the efforts to conserve and restore it. Also interesting was that they saw archaeological value in preserving the microbiological spots. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+susieice Posted January 24, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Good find El. Excellent video. Knew about the spots but didn't know they are unique to this tomb. It's sad they can't remove them without damaging the paint. I hope the new ventilation system will help preserve the tomb better in the future, along with the new viewing platform. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
