KV 62,.....and all that.

[A-Four]

I have had a reasonable look at Nicholas Reeves ideas on KV 62, they are quite sound, though I feel that his preferred thinking that he will find a tomb/passage way in the position(s) he states, seem a little random to me, but then again, old Nich has got a history of never coming quite clean, on what he knows himself.

I have the greatest respect for Nich, actually he always prefers to be called Nicholas, anyhow, when the British Museum put on a full scale exhibition to celibate the 75th anniversary of the discovery of Tutankhamen tomb by Carter, a certain exhibit was labelled up as 'on load from a Japanese collector'. It was an important item, evidently stolen back in the 1920's from the original site. This item was removed within days, as being illegal, thanks to Nicholas's influence at the BM at that time. Thanks to that intervention by him, no exhibit from a private collection is added to an exhibition at a British museum in the U.K., unless its authenticity can be verified.

Now back to the Kings Valley, KV 62, was certainly not a tomb for a Pharaoh, but it could have been prepared for a less noble person, for example a queen or royal parents, as with Yuya and Tjuyu. We should also remember, that the Valley of the Queens only really came into existence during the Ramesses period.

This tomb is only five mitres below present ground level, and much less three and a half thousand years earlier. As you enter down the steps, you are immediately face on to what Carter called The Annex, which is west facing, as though into the Western Valley, and what would you expect to find almost in line from this tomb to there ? If you study a careful detailed plan of this tomb you will notice that unlike the other chambers, the so called Annex is off centre, almost as though this forms a passage-way to a further mystery.

Not sure Dr, but when he worked at the BM and even the comforts of Eton he always 'ruffed it' when on site abroad, so there might be a chance that he stays on the WB. I am sure that he is aware of your German friend at Sheikh Ali's old place, especially now that he has a couple of Private self contained flatlets that overlooks them there hills.

Recently Nicholas has been working in the States, so assume he's had a chat with a certain American Egyptologist, (D.R.) who always stayed at the old Etap, though I suspect no longer,............my money is on a place up in Gabboui.
