I really struggle to take pieces that use “BCE” seriously.

Nice discovery.

Question: does the KV64 apply to both the newer & earlier burials, with a suffix added; or will the lower, older burial get a separate KV designation? I just don’t know how that works.

They should LEAVE IT. The Maniacs who now control Egypt will be on a destruction spree reminiscent of the burning of the monasteries and monastic library under Henry VIII and the actions of the Puritans under Cromwell.

Thanks, Civ     

The fate of archaeology, and the art objects and statuary found in the Valley of the Kings and temples all over Egypt are in grave danger of destruction with the Moslem Brotherhood in power. They believe they are a violation of the Koran.       

Never forget the fate of the magnificent Bamiyan Buddhas carved out of solid rock in a mountain side in Afghanistan blown to smithereens by the Taliban.    

BAMIYAN BUDDHA BEFORE & AFTER
