Sorry Bob, no can do.
It is a magnificent sarcophagus, of a size we should all hope to be 
worthy of.
But it is also carved from very dark stone, and at the bottom of a dark 
hole.
Iso 5000 and the detail of the sarcophagus was indistinguishable from 
the shadows.
Everybody else had twinkie lights, which would have helped a bit.
I did also notice a few smartphone users who were grumbling about how 
bad their shots were.
