News from the Valley of the Kings

... and hopefully the start of an exciting season in the Valley.

I can't wait!

If like me you find descriptions of locations hard to follow, you may appreciate this photo by Charles Tierney labelled to show the locations on the cliff wall of the Valley of the Kings. Interestingly, a man-made wall is shown as a third location.



Readers should also note that I believe the photo was posted in March 2008, before the Hawass commented in public in July 2008. (Wikipedia's reference to discovery in August 2008 are clearly wrong and sometime I may get round to editing the KV64 and KV65 pages there.)

Kent Weeks has posted a progress report on the Theban Mapping Project site. There is nothing major to report but if you are interested in the ongoing clearing of KV5 the full report is here.
