		4 Exploration of the Valley of the Kings
		King Tutankhamun's tomb was the first royal tomb to be discovered that was still largely intact (although tomb robbers had entered it), and was, until the excavation of KV63 in 2006, considered the last major discovery in the valley.
		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.

	Egypt's Valley of Kings yields a major new burial site \| The Agonist
		AP - American archaeologists have made the first discovery of a new tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings since King Tutankhamen's was uncovered in 1922, Egypt's antiquities chief has announced.
		"It could be the tomb of a king's wife or son, or of a priest or court official," he said Thursday.
		No matter who is in the new tomb, its discovery shatters the nearly century-old perception that there was nothing left to discover in the Valley of the Kings, where it was long thought that the 62 previously known tombs were all there was, said Weeks, who made the last major discovery in the valley.
