These things can be done in an organised and controlled fashion - one has to hope that those in charge did so. There's no particular reason to assume that "a horde" of journalists were allowed to rush in, though.
Fundamentally it's a judgement call for the archaeologists as to whether the tomb is in good enough condition and the photographers are trustworthy enough.

People are walking on each other feet there. > Fundamentally it's a judgement call for the archaeologists as to whether the tomb is in good enough condition and the photographers are trustworthy enough. The flashes alone should be a concern. That's also not a good way to get a good photograph. They should know better. You'd expect and perhaps understand this happening at a celebrity gathering. But it is not like the statues are going to bust a move soon here.
- eponeponepon 8y agoCrikey, yes. I hadn't seen the video - that's pretty bad. Fingers crossed this was a one-off, I guess.
- jacquesm 8y agoIt most definitely is a one-off, that's the whole problem.
- hawaiianbrah 8y agoPardon my ignorance, but what can flashes do?
- ahakki 8y agoFlash light has very high uv content which can fade the pigments. The effect is similar to a picture that fades because it’s been exposed to sunlight. I doubt that a day of journalists making pics would have any measurable effect. It’s more a problem if hordes of tourists take pics every day.
