Pyramids Galore!

At least 17 new pyramids have been discovered in Egypt, thanks to infrared photo technology, taken from space via satellite.
   That's in addition to more than 1,000 tombs and 3,000 ancient communities.

One of the researchers, Dr. Sarah Parcak, says,
"We were very intensely doing this research for over a year. I could see the data as it was emerging, but for me the "A-Ha" moment was when I could step back and look at everything that we'd found and I couldn't believe we could locate so many sites all over Egypt."

She believes they'll find more, too.

Cool.
