The exploration and examination of the tomb KV63 continues.


The final coffin from the tomb KV63 has been opened. It was thought that it would contain a mummy, possibly a royal mummy, but unfortunately, it didn't. Instead, it had wreaths of flowers, wrapping material and some gold beads. Of course, speculation is running rampant about the find. It's odd that none of the coffins contained human remains, especially since they were all buried in a constructed tomb close to Tutankhamun. It's possible that KV63 contains material taken from another tomb for some unknown purpose and was never collected, again, for whatever reason.

The discovery will still yield important information about ancient Egypt, but at this point, there are still more unanswered questions to be answered.
