Reply to comment by svarogteuse in Hundreds of mummies and pyramid of an unknown queen unearthed near King Tut's tomb by IslandChillin

If you read the article it says the pyramid is in Giza and the mummies are in the Valley of the Kings. It is pretty weird to have a single article about sites so far away from each other. The confusion in the title makes a little more sense then.

Edit: I was mistaken. For some reason I thought the title of the article was different than the post here. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Proper English grammar on "and pyramid of an unknown queen unearthed near King Tut's tomb" in says that either both the mummies and the pyramids are near Tut's tomb or the pyramid is near his tomb but not just the mummies. Phrases like that do not refer to only the first element of a list, its either all or the last.

So no the title still doesn't make sense if the mummies are near his tomb.

Yes I know what you said. The confusion in the title makes no sense unless you just have a bad editor who didnt bother to read the article.

Dude, I'm pretty sure he is saying that "Confusion in the title makes sense" means "it makes sense you'd get confused because of the way the title is written". You're both agreeing over the same thing.

Arent the Pyramids and Valley of the Kings completely separate eras for Egyptian history?

The famous pyramids and the Valley of the Kings yes. Pyramids were built in several eras of Egyptian history from the 3rd dynasty (2600 B.C.) to the last being built in the 18th Dynasty (1150 B.C.) which was the same era as Tutankhamun (1341-1323 BC). I don't know what era the one in question came from.
