The Amarna Royal Tombs Project website has been updated by Dr Nicholas Reeves with further statements of clarification, following ongoing speculation and comment. Here is an extract: "I’ll begin by addressing suggestions that ARTP is currently claiming the discovery of the new tomb for itself. I should like to reassure Dr Hawass, Dr Bianchi and the public at large that this is not the case - though in the immediate aftermath of the discovery there was obvious disappointment felt by me, by the members of my team and by our supporters. Here was a tomb whose position we had located in the course of our 2000 radar survey, situated squarely on what as recently as 2002 was our concession; a feature we had every hope of investigating ourselves in due course. But it was Dr Otto Schaden who physically uncovered it and confirmed its character. Under those circumstances there can be no question that the credit for actual discovery should go to him and to the University of Memphis."
See the above web page for a complete set of statements by Dr Reeves.
The ARTP website will continue to be updated over the coming weeks with information about the history and the future role of the ARTP, together with information about the context within their own project of the KV63 find.
