The latest installment of background information to the KV63 discovery has been added to the Amarna Royal Tombs Project website by Nick Reeves: "If ARTP knew about the existence of KV63 as early as 2000 it might reasonably be asked why we did not immediately dig it. The fact is that our delay was quite deliberate: from the start we took the view that in excavating in the Valley of the Kings there is no need for haste and every necessity for caution. With or without our political difficulties, in ARTP’s schedule of work an investigation of the feature remained some years away from realization. These were years which, in preparation terms, we deemed absolutely essential."
