Heritage Key has posted a new video of Dr. Zahi Hawass by Sandro Vannini and Nico Piazza discussing the current excavations in the Central Valley area of the Valley of the Kings, or what we like to call the Quest for KV64. While the photography of Sandro Vannini alone makes the clip worth viewing, let’s face it—what we are looking for is news of the next tomb.
Dr Zahi Hawass is closing in on the discovery of a new tomb - KV64 - which he hopes will be the tomb of Ramesses VIII. If his team is successful, the discovery will be historically noted for being the first made in the Valley of the Kings by an Egyptian team. Dr Hawass shares some of the finds at the site of the excavations, and explains that he disagrees with those who believe nothing more is left to be discovered in the Valley of the Kings - for him and his Egyptian team are going to discover KV64! Go here for background information on KV63 & KV64.
