The excavation in the third chamber of the burial monument at Kasta Tomb continues with great care, under adverse conditions due to the cold and humidity inside the last compartment of the tomb.

Although the archaeologists have already worked their way 8 meters down, there is no indication yet of the exact height of the chamber.

In regard to the new findings, according to information, there is nothing more than fragments of limestone blocks from the so-called “sealing floor.” So far there is no trace of organic (ash or bone) or inorganic (sarcophagus, urn, etc) mobile findings.

As the excavation proceeds carefully at the point of the large artificial trench in the third chamber, the need of more and better supports is becoming increasingly pressing and the dense shoring, stronger than in the previous chambers, is taking up much of the team’s time.

The research continues in the hope that clues will be found that will contribute in the identification of the person for whom this majestic monument was built.

However, many believe that only a few days remain until the first phase of the excavation concludes, as the environmental conditions inside the tomb indicate – humidity has reached 80% and the temperature is already below 10 degrees Celsius.
