	'Wonderful things' on paper: the Egyptologist Victor Loret in the Valley of the Kings. - Apollo - HighBeam Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Loret was more interested in research and excavation than in administration and public relations, and for this reason his directorship of the Antiquities Service attracted unfavourable comment from Egyptologists at the time.
		Loret's archives, whose rediscovery represents one of the major events in the history of Egyptology in recent decades, include a rich correspondence between him and such colleagues as De Morgan, Schweinfurth, Ebers, and Brugsch, not to mention his former students, including Varille and Montet.
		Loret was not surprised to find the sarcophagus opened and empty, since the mummy of the king had been found, in 1881, in tomb 320 of Deir el-Bahari, known as the first cachette, together with the mummies of fifty-two other pharaohs or important persons.

		Loret, who was born in France in 1859, appears to have inherited a musical talent from his father, an organist.
		Loret felt that it would be appropriate to let the king rest in his sarcophagus, as found, under the blue gold-starred roof of his tomb.
		Loret was appointed director-general of the Antiquities Service between 1897 and 1899, during which time he was able to add more tombs to the map of the royal valley at Thebes, a few of which were known by earlier explorers.

	Egypt: The Tomb of Tuthmosis III, Valley of the Kings
		The tomb of Tuthmosis III (KV 34) is said to be one of the most sophisticated tombs in the Valley of the Kings.
		Discovered by Victor Loret's workmen in 1898 during this famous Egyptologist's absence, work did not begin on clearing the rubble form the entrance until his return.
		The orientation of the tomb is such that the entrance lies in the north, while the burial chamber deviates to the east, a tradition originating with the Middle Kingdom Pyramid of Sesostris II.

		Victor Trujillo I don't find quite as funny, but his insights are right on the mark most of the time.

	The second problem mummies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In 1898, the French Egyptologist Victor Loret found three unconfined bodies in a side chamber in the tomb of Amenophis II (KV 35), however these bodies were placed on the ground without wrappings or coffins.
		The third body –which is the closer to the wall – is for a bald man (?) with a wig thrown on the ground, his (?) face shows a horrible look because the face was open at the side of the mouth to the middle of the cheek.
		Victor Loret ‘s description is summarized into three identifications; the “noble woman”, the “boy” and the “horrible man?”.

		Loret found the three un-bandaged and un-coffined mummies - that of a young boy, a young woman, and an elderly woman - in a side chamber of the tomb of Amenhotep II.
		Since Loret's were completely unidentifiable, there was no way to tell if they were of royal decent.
		Although abandoned, Loret's mummies were fortunate enough to be protected from further destruction by tomb raiders.

	Egypt: KV38, The Second Tomb of Tuthmosis I In the Valley of the Kings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Tomb KV38 in the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank at Luxor (ancient Thebes) was a Victor Loret find of March 1899, though the original circumstances of its discovery are lost to us.
		This is an 18th Dynasty tomb originally thought to be the initial burial of Tuthmosis I, from which he was later moved to another tomb, KV20.
		However, later analysis by John Romer in 1974 seems to have demonstrated that it was actually a newer tomb than KV20 because the architecture was probably influenced by KV34 which belongs to the first Tuthmosis' grandson, Tuthmosis III.

	Egypt: The Tomb of Amenophis II, Valley of the Kings
		Designated KV 35, it was located by Victor Loret on the slope opposite of the Valley of the King's main wadi in March of 1898.
		Within the the western lateral annex, which was enclosed by a stone wall, Loret found his second surprise, for here he found the sarcophagi and mummies of nine other royal burials, as well as his son, Webensenu, and probably his mother, Hatshepsut-Meryetre.
		We believe it was the high priest Pinudjem I (1070-1037 BC) who had these mummies stored in Amenophis II's tomb at the beginning of the 21st Dynasty, just as Pinudjem II (990-969 BC) transferred the mummies found in the Deir el-Bahri cache.

		The tomb was discovered by Victor Loret (figure XVII), a student of Gaston Maspero, as he was conducting a comprehensive survey of the VOK (eight years after the discovery of the first mummy cache.
		Loret’s workmen happened upon the tomb in the morning of March 9th, and worked on clearing the entrance passageway until dusk, when it was completely clear.
		At this point, Loret ordered that the sealed door be opened for further progress and exploration, although it was obvious that this tomb had been plundered from the broken bits of funerary paraphernalia that littered the entrance passage (Brier 112).

		The mummy was discovered back in 1898 by Victor Loret, the head of the Egyptian Antiquities Department, when he opened and entered tomb KV 35, the tomb of Amenhotep II.
		All the bodies were removed to Loret's boat for transport to Cairo, but a few days later Sir William Garstin, head of the department of Public Works and Loret's superior, ordered that the bodies should be returned to the tomb.
		He concluded that Loret had been confused by the fact that the head was shaven and had not troubled to look at the region where a person's sex is most easily determined.

		The southern end, meanwhile, is buried beneath a huge mound of shale and debris, the leftovers - probably - from Victor Loret's excavations in the area in the later 19th century.
		The first thing to come up was a hundred-year old touria, discovered against the face of the gebel where presumably one of Loret's workmen had discarded it.
		On reflection, however, it seemed that it could rather be suggestive of the opposite - that Loret had only got down to that particular level and not explored any deeper.

		Disguised under the catalogue name of "mummy 61072," also known by the nickname of "Younger Lady," what might be Nefertiti's mummy was lying on the floor of a side room off the pharaoh's burial chamber along with other two mummies: a boy and another woman named "Elder Woman," all uncoffined and unwrapped.
		The three bodies were discovered in 1898 in tomb KV35 by French archaeologist Victor Loret in a cache of royal mummies that included Amenhotep II, still resting in his own sarcophagus.
		Fletcher was drawn to the tomb by her identification of a forgotten Nubian-style wig favored by royal women in the XVIIIth dynasty - during the reign of Akhenaten - which had been found near three unidentified mummies.

	Pyramid Complex of Iput I
		She was probably the daughter of Unas (5th Dynasty) and the mother of Teti's successor, Pepi I. Her pyramid was discovered by Loret at the beginning of the 20th century, and later investigated by Firth, with Gunn's assistance, in the 1920s. Dr. Hawass, one of the current living legends of Egyptology, continues this investigation.
		Discovered by Victor Loret in 1898, until fairly recently, the pyramid of one of Teti's other wives, Khuit, was though to be a mastaba.
		It was again investigated by Maragioglio and Rinaldi in the 1960s,but then, in 1995, Dr. Hawass excavated the remains once more and confirmed that it was indeed a small pyramid. Its investigation is is still ongoing.

	WHO WAS WHO AMONG THE ROYAL MUMMIES
		The cache had actually been penetrated as early as 1871 by members of a local family, who were gradually removing antiquities which soon appeared on the market, arousing the suspicions of the authorities of the Egyptian Antiquities Department.
		Subsequently in 1898 Victor Loret penetrated the tomb of Amenhotep II in the Valley of the Kings, and there discovered a second collection of royal mummies of the New Kingdom.
		The mummies from the Deir el-Bahri cache were removed to the Cairo Museum in 1881, and most, but not all, of the mummies found in the tomb of Amenhotep II were brought to Cairo after their discovery.
