It's on the first page so it's not necro, fools.

Odd that this topic didn't appeal to anyone? But maybe that's because that this discovery is so long known of that it doesn't warrant attention and thus makes the huffington post look like the last one to know. Although I can't be sure because the article is dated 01/10/10. Considering the month and day are interchangable for some people maybe the same can be said for the year? A sensible action would be to use the year month and day in that order.

The tombs for the workers have been known of ever since the workers city was unearthed years ago. So I really don't get how this is coming to light just now?

Just looked around the website some more. Huffington post has all the earmarks of a gossip column. It's big and it's bold and what real news is there is probably a whitewash retread of something they stole from real newspapers. No wonder this old news is new news to them!

Not quite, I remember reading about it on Dutch news websites. I suppose some new tombs were unearthed and the journalists didn't listen too well to the archaeologists, or they ignored the warning that there was nothing new in it.
