600km is close to Americans, 372 miles. And that is measured distance to Cairo so this is 30 miles closer.
I guess their road is slow to be an 8 hour drive. Unless I am wrong on the locations.

The article is completely wrong.
>Just a stone's throw from King Tut's tomb, archaeologists have unearthed the pyramid of a never-before known ancient Egyptian queen; a cache of coffins, mummies and artifacts; and a series of interconnected tunnels.
They say it's a stone's throw away. The pyramid, the coffins, the mummies, the artifacts...
I don't know who can throw a stone hundreds of kms but I'd like to meet them.

Google maps said just short of 8 hours.
372 miles is much closer when you have well built roads like interstates. Even taking American state roads can add significant times to a trip. My trip to see the family is about 2:15 by interstate, yet almost 4 hours by state road that parallels and continuously crosses the interstate. I've drive both routes as many as 6 times a year for nearly three decades, the times are pretty consistent.
