Has anyone gotten this to work? I was able to load the KMZ file into Google Earth and in the "Places" sidebar I can see links for "Outside entrance", "Entrance", Burial Chambers 1, 2, and 3, etc. but whenever I click on any of them all Google Earth does is take me to Egypt and I just see a very pixellated terrain of where the Tutankhamun was buried--not this snazzy 3d model in the screenshot. I just upgraded to Google Earth 4 today if it matters.

That's odd. I just double-clicked on the kmz file and everything popped up where it should be. Do you have the 3d buildings box checked?

The Google Earth model (available <A href="http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/download.php?Number=408502" title="King tut tomb in Google Earth 3D model" target="_blank">here</A><IMG width="19" height="19" src="http://gisarch.com/uploaded_images/kml.gif" title="Google Earth 3D model" alt="Google Earth 3D model" />) stands above the location where Howard Carter discovered the tomb entrance in 1922.  While Google Earth does not yet have the ability to place models below the<IMG width="269" height="220" align="right" src="http://www.gisarch.com/uploaded_images/tut_tomb1.jpg" alt="KIng Tut burial chamber" title="KIng Tut burial chamber" /> surface, this above ground rendition certainly gives you the impression.  Once the model is loaded into GE, navigate through the layers of the model in the “Places” frame until you get to the various views of the burial chamber.  These handy views position the camera at appropriate angels.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.gisarch.com/2007/04/06/new-3d-tomb-of-king-tutankhamun-for-google-earth/"><P>Thanks to <A href="http://www.gearthblog.com/" target="_blank" title="Google Earth Blog">Google Earth Blog</A> for pointing out this new model!
