KV63 news

There was a program on the Discovery Channel last week that showed KV63 in the process of excavation and examination.


I watched the Discovery Channel program about a week ago and found it very interesting to see the contents of KV63. However, other than speculation about who, if anyone, might be buried inside, not too much information was really dished out. Of course, it's only at the early stages of examination, so not much can be revealed at this point and I personally look forward to finding out more. There is news of pillows being found, which is fascinating, since a lot of textiles are lost due to decomposition. These are supposedly made of linen and filled with feathers of some sort.

It will definitely be exciting when they eventually open up the sealed coffin, especially if there's a mummy inside. The other coffins have so far only revealed bundles of fabric, leading to the possibility that the tomb may indeed be only a storage area for mummification. But, we'll have to wait to see for sure what other information they find.
