Before 2008, KV64 was taken to mean a radar anomaly discovered by the Amarna Royal Tombs Project. ARTP had identified an anomaly which was later dug by Otto Shaden - which turned out to be a new tomb, KV63. ARTP, and the project's leader, received no credit for 'discovering' (if identifying a radar anomaly counts as discovery) the first new tomb in the Valley of the Kings for 75 years. Nicholas Reeves then leaked details of a second anomaly which became known as KV64. For the avoidance of doubt, that's not KV64 referred to in the other articles on this blog!
Reeves has now published much fuller details of the ARTP Radar Survey of the Valley of the Kings which identifies even more radar anomalies and speculates that some of these may be undiscovered small tombs like KV63. The article reproduces the radar scans.
