Wow. A reasonably accurate one -- at least the first two sentences. Of course, it leaves out (probably in interests of space) that the "doors" are maybe a foot by a foot in size (the inset image is of it but gives no sense of scale), and are probably better called "hatches". The third is... less accurate, as they drilled through the "door", passed a camera through and found a second door behind it, drilled through that, and basically found rough stone. As of the article I found about it by one of the archeologists, they intend to excavate the shaft behind it to help them determine if it was for a symbolic/religious purpose (a passage to the netherworld for the king), or something practical.
