We've been excavating in the Valley of the Kings now for about 18 months, and the objects that we have found are very interesting.
The most important thing is a sketch of a tomb that, actually, shows the passage, the rooms and the burial chamber. This is the sketch that was drawn by a workman who was excavating and working in the Valley of the Kings 3000 years ago.
The other important thing is, actually, this inscription. It is a very interesting inscription, because the writing here at the end says Weret Hem Netjer - the Great God's wife - and the name of the queen that we never heard before. Her name was Tiy.
What's really funny about this next artefact? This is a sketch of a fat lady drawn by a workman. Maybe that was his girlfriend or maybe that was the lady he desired. It's very funny!
Another very interesting thing. Two cartouches – one of Hatshepsut and one of Thutmose III - are written beside each other. This may indicate that the theory of the destruction that Thutmose III did to Hatshepsut monuments could be completely wrong. And now we believe that the destruction happened at the end of Thutmose III reign and the beginning of the reign of his son Amenhotep II by people, who possibly did not want to see the female pharaoh.
Oh, this artefact is very interesting! It shows a tally of food that the workmen ate in the Valley of the Kings. Because we know they lived in and ate in workmen huts and this is the number of meals that they ate everyday.
I really believe that these discoveries – both the heretic and inscription - are very important discoveries and I am very happy with what came from our excavation in the Valley of the Kings.
A very interesting sketch, it is also drawn by a workman. It shows a shape of a funny man, and his penis is shown. And this just shows that the Ancient Egyptians were like us. That they could be human beings and that they could really say anything.
