KV63

rdfs:comment

KV63 is the most recently opened chamber in Egypt's Valley of the Kings pharaonic necropolis. (There is a radar anomaly that is referred to as KV64, but it has not been excavated, and its existence is denied by the Supreme Council of Antiquities) The chamber contained seven wooden coffins and many large storage jars. As of late June 2006, all coffins have been opened, and were found to contain only mummification materials, with the jars also containing mummification supplies including salts, linens, and deliberately broken pottery. Based on these finds, it has been tentatively decided that the room was a storage chamber for the mummification process and not, as initially believed, a royal tomb. Some clay seal impressions contain text, such as the partial word 'pa-aten,' part of the name us

KV63 is the most recently opened chamber in Egypt's Valley of the Kings pharaonic necropolis. (There is a radar anomaly that is referred to as KV64, but it has not been excavated, and its existence is denied by the Supreme Council of Antiquities) The chamber contained seven wooden coffins and many large storage jars. As of late June 2006, all coffins have been opened, and were found to contain only mummification materials, with the jars also containing mummification supplies including salts, linens, and deliberately broken pottery. Based on these finds, it has been tentatively decided that the room was a storage chamber for the mummification process and not, as initially believed, a royal tomb. Some clay seal impressions contain text, such as the partial word 'pa-aten,' part of the name used by Tutankhamun's wife, Ankhesenamun. This inscription, the architectural style of the chamber, and the form of the coffins and jars all point to an Eighteenth Dynasty date, roughly contemporary with Tutankhamun, whose tomb is nearby.
