	Howard Carter at AllExperts

		Howard Carter was born in 1873 in Brompton, Kensington, London, the youngest son of 8 children.
		On November 4, 1922 Carter found the steps leading to Tutankhamen's tomb (subsequently designated KV62), by far the best preserved and most intact pharaonic tomb ever found in the Valley of the Kings.

	Another New Tomb in the Valley of the Kings?
		It was influenced by a study of the immediate post-Amarna burials Tomb KV55 and Tomb KV62 (Tutankhamun) and what these two tombs seemed to reveal about other possible burials of the period in the immediate vicinity.
		And it was driven by a physical threat that the rubble fill of the Valley, and along with it most of the archaeology, might be removed wholesale to combat the seriously damaging effects of flash-flooding on the open tombs.
		It's been evident since 1997 that towards the end of Tutankhamun's reign the royal tomb at el-Amarna was evacuated and its occupants and the lighter tomb equipment transferred to Thebes for safety (the heavy stuff seems to have been left in situ at el-Amarna and smashed to prevent inappropriate reuse).

	Archaeologics.com -- Can You Dig It?
		King Tut's tomb (KV62), though the richest ever found, is modest in comparison to other tombs in the Valley.[1]Tutankhamun's existence is believed to have been mostly forgotten at some point not too long after his death, until the 20th century.
		It has been suggested that his tomb was never opened, by either grave robbers or priests, exactly because he and it had been forgotten.
		The Egyptologist Howard Carter (employed by Lord Carnarvon) discovered Tutankhamun's tomb (since designated KV62) in The Valley of The Kings on November 4, 1922 near the entrance to the tomb of Ramses VI, thereby setting off a renewed interest in all things Egyptian in the modern world.

	VALLEY OF THE KINGS FOUNDATION
		By inference from the neighbouring tombs KV62 (Tutankhamun) and KV63 I believe it is likely to represent yet another burial of immediate post-Amarna date - not impossibly home to one or more of the missing Amarna dead about whom I first speculated in 1997 and to whose actual existence KV63 now points.
		My particular quarry was the burial place of Nefertiti, Akhenaten’s wife and coregent (who, I concluded, had been buried in the Valley as and when she died), but also the whereabouts of Akhenaten’s secondary consort Kiya, his second daughter Meketaten and other lesser members of the royal family who had originally been interred at El-Amarna.
		I’d established that the first two were women upon whose funerary furniture Tutankhamun had drawn either for the preparation of his own burial within KV62 or for the refurbishment of Akhenaten’s within KV55 before the boy-king reinterred these ladies’ bodies close by.

	Curse of the Pharaohs at AllExperts
		The belief was brought to many people's attention due to the deaths of some members of the team of Howard Carter, who opened the tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62) in 1922, launching the modern era of Egyptology.
		Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries, favoured this idea, and speculated that the mould had been placed deliberately to punish grave robbers.
		A newspaper report printed following Carnarvon's death is also believed to have been responsible for the wording of the curse most frequently associated with Tutankhamun – "Death shall come on swift wings to him who disturbs the peace of the King" – a phrase which does not actually appear among the hieroglyphs in KV62.

		The following is excerpted from Chapter Seven - "The Tomb of Tutankhamen, Number 62 in the Valley of the Kings" - of the author's forthcoming Tombs.
		The other candidate most often proposed as the boy-king's mother by Amenhotep III is none other than Great Royal Wife Tiye, a lock of whose hair was found among the KV62 burial goods, housed in a set of coffins, obviously a memento signifying some sort of relationship, probably familial, between Tiye and Tutankhamen.
		When Smenkhkare's burial in the Royal Wadi at Akhetaten was dismantled early in Tutankhamen's reign, for removal to Waset and semi-anonymous reinterment in Kings+ Valley Tomb 55, it seems evident that his kingly Osiride equipage was placed in storage - perhaps with the full intent that it would be reinscribed for his son's eventual use.

	KV63--New Tomb Discovery in the Valley of the Kings
		This theory, which admittedly was very colorful, was given some degree of plausibility by the fact that KV63 was found a mere five meters from Tutankhamen's tomb and close to KV55, a much-discussed tomb that was undoubtedly an Amarna-related cache.
		Reeves, whose Valley of the Kings Foundation has searched the royal Valley for undiscovered tombs using radar, recently announced the discovery of an underground "anomaly" near the entrance to KV62 which is similar to that which had initially alerted excavators to the presence of KV63.
		KV54, which was discovered for Theodore Davis by Edward Ayrton during their 1907-1908 excavation season, contained refuse material that had been used in the burial of Tutankhamen, and provided a highly important clue which led to Howard Carter's discovery of the boy king's final resting place in 1922.

	Tutankhamun's Life
		King Tutankhamun was, until the discovery of his tomb, a fairly insignificant and little known king from the 18th Dynasty.
		Even in spite of the amazing discoveries made in his tomb (KV62) we still have very little information about him.
		Surviving evidence indicates that he succeeded Smenkhkare and was the last of the true Amarna pharaohs.

		When it was found, the sepulchre was buried under four metres (13 feet) of rubble.
		It lies just seven metres (yards) from KV62 -- the tomb of Tutankhamun himself -- which contained a hoard of extraordinary treasures.
		If the pharaoh Akhenaton the Heretic was thought to have fathered Tutankhamun, the identity of his mother is not known for sure.

	Luxor/Valley of the Kings - Wikitravel
		A number of archaeological excavations continue periodically within the Valley of the King's to the present day; perhaps best known is the American University of Cairo's excavation of KV5, the tomb of the Sons of Ramesses II.
		the Tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62) [1], requires a separate ticket (LE 70) for admission from the other tombs - arguably the most famous of the tombs in the Valley, the scene of Howard Carter's 1922 discovery of the almost intact royal burial of the young king.
		Compared to most of the other royal tombs, however, the tomb of Tutankhamun is barely worth visiting, being much smaller and with limited decoration.

		It would be unusual for a royal burial to be so completely stripped to provide for the burial of the very next Pharaoh.
		It would be interesting to know who KV55 and KV62 were built for in the first place.
		If what you are saying about the age of the mummy of Tutankhamun is correct and he was indeed in his mid-twenty couldnt he have prepared KV62 himself.

		You might recall that KV62 was hidden by the debris of KV9 (20th Dynasty - Ramesses V).
		The tomb appears to be a pretty typical shaft tomb for the Valley of the Kings (VOK).
		For me, I would guess (strictly that) from the appearance, location, etc. that we're looking at 50 years either side of c.1370 B.C. I underscore that that is a pure guess and that I am not at liberty to report what I discuss with team members.

		When Carter discovered Tutankhamen in 1922, he soon realized that the boy king had not been buried in a traditional royal tomb–KV62 was much too small to have been intended for a Pharaoh.
		Similar in size to other non-royal tombs cut into the Valley of the Kings, KV62 had probably originally been used for the burial of some high-placed noble and his family members who were removed at the time of Tutankhamen’s death.
		Perhaps the remains found in KV63 by the University of Memphis team are the mummies that had been “evicted” from nearby KV62.
