Reported the discovery on Dec. 26, 1872, the magazine "Nature" published figure of these artifacts, and then they disappeared ...
Part of the tree, discovered in the mines was not available until 2001, has not yet surfaced in the Museum Marischal, Aberdeen.
Although the last is sure that the piece of wood is among their collections, they have not yet determined its position among the finds.
In the mine, and later studied Gantenbrink, was also found fragments of a long piece of wood lying in the bend, which was very similar, the previously discovered in the northern mine in 1872.
The robot, named Upuat II (Upuaut II, the discoverer of ways) and equipped with lights, camera and a laser pointer, received excellent feedback from. Going up the Queen's Chamber southern shaft of the robot ran into a solid block of limestone, from which protruded two mysterious copper parts.
Was carried out painstaking preliminary work. To determine the length of the drill bit, it was necessary to first know the thickness of the limestone block using ultrasound. Dr. Hawass oversaw preparation, and then gave the command to drill so-called "door. "

This mine, located in front of his South "sister" robot Gantenbrink could not inspect because of impassable last bend. The current team took into account the previous deficiencies in the design of the robot. Robot in 2002 could go round a bend on the floor moving as mine, and on the ceiling.
