KV-64 - A New Tomb in the Valley of the Kings

ABC affiliate KLTV's Another Tomb in the Valley of the Kings explains the problems confronting archaeologists hoping to uncover another royal tomb in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. In 1922 the tomb of Tutankhamen was discovered by Howard Carter and Lord Carnovan who "clumsily smashed their way in." When KV-63 was discovered, the public was eager for more gold and gems or a mummy, but no such items were found, only embalming supplies and coffins which archaeologists tried to use great care in probing. The public was unimpressed. KV-64 could hold more of the same or it could be the tomb of Nefertiti. KV-64 and KV-63 were discovered in 2000 using radar equipment; however, KV-64 has not yet been uncovered. Archaeologists, mindful of how destructive their work is, are resisting the pressure for quick results. Read the whole article: Another Tomb in the Valley of the Kings.
