Six New Tombs Discovered in Aswan - Problems with Access

Fellucas at Aswan (Richard Seaman)

I am not quite sure what to make of the reports from Egypt, it appears that on the west bank in in Aswan six ancient tombs were discovered by locals who took control of them and are not allowing the Egyptologists nor the police to come near to them because "the people do not want the state to control the tombs" (Zeinobia, "Egyptian Chronicles: Actually The Police Can Stop them .. If they Want to" Egyptian Chroncles June 8, 2013 - with photos).
