Yes. I stole this from Wikipedia.

"KV64" is the tomb of Temple Karnak singer the Lady Ni Hams Bastet in the Valley of the Kings, near Luxor, Egypt. It dates to the 22nd Dynasty and is located on the pathway to Tomb KV34 (Thuthmosis III) in the main Valley of the Kings, which is why KV34 was closed to visitors in early 2012. KV64 was found accidently by Dr Elena Pauline-Grothe of the University of Basel. KV64 was a designation tentatively given to a radar anomaly (and suspected tomb) detected by the use of ground-penetrating radar by the Amarna Royal Tombs Project (ARTP)[1], led by Nicholas Reeves, in the autumn of 2000. No actual tomb was uncovered there.

Temple singers were a bit like our Gospel singers today—The Egyptians used lots of entertainment in their worship—music, dance, etc... Maybe even special effects.
