Odd that everyone seemed to forget about king Tut' rather quickly.
Short memories it would seem when it came to creating Rameses VI 's tomb..
Not so short really as that equates to near 200 years or 5 generations after he was buried!

and that would be even longer at nearly 300 years or 8/10 generations.
Do you know where your Great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather is buried? [yes I know there is no family connection between Nebkheperure Tutankhaten/amun and Nebmaatre-meryamun Ramesses VI]
Tutankhamum's [more correctly Amen-tut-ankh when written in hieroglyphs] full names, do you know them?

Ah Bullet, a wonderful question, the sort that shows you would probably make a good detective, or a brilliant excavator, but perhaps not an Egyptologist, but then again the latter is not that important in this line of work. I hate to say this, but may I refer you to an essay, I wrote on here about a year ago now, called the Secret of the Western Valley, I think you will find it will answer the above question more than adequatly.
