	Egypt: The Egyptologists
		These men were not only Egypt's earliest modern explorers, but were probably more interested in documenting their findings then the next generation of explorers and adventurers, who seem to have put their greatest efforts into the collection, and sell, of Egyptian antiquities.
		He has lectured in England, Egypt, Canada and the United states, and is currently working on a scientific publication of the coffins and canopic equipment from the Tomb of Tutankhamun.
		He is also credited with discovering KV 5, the tomb of the sons of Ramesses II in the Valley of the Kings, and is the author of numerous books, including Valley of the Kings (with many others) and The Lost Tomb.

		Egyptology is the scientific study of Ancient Egypt and Egyptian antiquities and is a regional and thematic branch of the larger disciplines of ancient history and archaeology.
		Modern Egyptology (as opposed to an antiquarian interest in the land of Egypt) is generally perceived as beginning in the year 1822, when Jean-François Champollion announced his general decipherment of the system of Egyptian hieroglyphics for the first time, employing the Rosetta Stone as his primary aid.
		With subsequently ever-increasing knowledge of Egyptian writing and language, the study of Ancient Egyptian civilisation was able to proceed with greater academic rigour and with all the added impetus that comprehension of the written sources was able to engender.

		KV 5 was rediscovered as a result of Kent Weeks’ recognition of the pressing need to map the Theban necropolis, the huge area on the west bank of the Nile where not only kings but their families, and the workmen of the royal tombs, were buried in separate areas.
		KV 5 was one such; its entrance was possibly known as early as 1738, long before Egyptology was established as an academic subject, when the tomb was marked on a map.
		Once a king in Egypt, always a king; in life the king was Horus, in death, he became Osiris.

		KV 63 could have been a tomb in antiquity and then any mummies inside could have been removed.
		Overall, the evidence is pretty strong to support the theory that KV 63 dates to the latter half of the 18th Dynasty around the time of Tutankhamen.

	Valley of the Kings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Valley of the Kings, or Wadi el-Muluk (وادي الملوك) in Arabic, is a valley in Egypt where tombs were built for the Pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom, the Eighteenth through Twentieth Dynasties of Ancient Egypt.
		The Valley began to be heavily plundered, so during the 21st Dynasty the priests of Amen opened most of the tombs and moved the mummies into three tombs in order to better protect them, even removing most of their treasure in order to further protect the bodies from robbers.

		From the varied assemblage of objects within this tomb and the fact that, in light of it’s being a small, single chambered affair; more akin to those used for non-royal burials of Dynasty XVIII, it is fairly obvious that it had actually been a cache of burials removed from the Amarna Royal Valley Cemetery.
		This will have the effect of requiring them not only to remove the vast amounts of accumulated debris within the area around and in front of the former, but to relocate the modern path so that access for tourists is maintained to the latter two tombs.

		Located between the tombs of Tutankhamen (KV 62) and Amenmesse (KV 10), the burial shaft discovered under the remains of worker's huts was the first tomb found in the valley for eight decades.
		To the public, KV 63 might have been a bit of a bust since no mummies were found inside, but archaeologists were intrigued to learn that tomb builders may have crafted such storage shafts for mummification.
		One other oddity of KV 63 was the report by another team, the Amarna Royal Tombs Project (ARTP), led by Nicholas Reeves, that a radar survey done by the team in 2000 had pointed to the shaft's location, finding a hollow in the ground there.

		Before the spectacular discovery of his almost intact tomb in the Valley of the Kings (KV 62) in November 1922, Tutankhamun was a shadowy and little known figure of the late 18th Dynasty.
		By the next day the stairs had been cleared, revealing the top of a blocked door, sealed with the impression of the necropolis guards (the recumbent jackal over nine captives); behind it was a sloping corridor filled with debris and, at the far end, another blocked doorway.
		This conforms to the pattern of 18th Dynasty royal tombs and was probably chosen with a propaganda motive in view, that is to bury the king fairly close to his grandfather Amenhotep III, thereby underlining the return to old ways and the old religion.

		KV 64 is at a greater depth than the single-room KV 63, but has a similar radar profile.
		One outcome of the debate over KV 64 and the results of the TMP’s earlier magnetometer studies is that they have drawn the attention of Egyptologists to the possible uses for geophysical prospecting techniques, such as helping to locate and protect sites before development or excavation begins.
