Well, Zahi Hawass in the Valley of the Kings: Part 2 has been posted.  This time we are looking at some of the artifacts his team has recovered from the current excavations in the Central Valley area.

There are a couple of pieces that give us an idea of how the workmen spent their leisure time, and all I can say is boys will be boys..

Dr. Hawass shares several much more interesting pieces, including a floor plan for a tomb and an inventory of the daily food requirements for the workers.  There are a couple of other pieces, but you will have to check them out on Heritage Key, where I blog about it under my daytime name, Keith Payne:  Dr Zahi Hawass Shows New Artifacts Discovered in the Valley of the Kings.  There you can check out the video, plus individual snapshots of the artifacts by Sandro Vannini.

I have to admit I was a little disappointed that there was no mention of KV64, although the artifacts are obviously related to the search for the next tomb from the Valley of the Kings.  And in my blogpost on Heritage Key I raise the possibility of a Zahi Hawass in the Valley of the Kings: Part 3 clip, but a little birdie has since told me no such video is in the works.  But October is just around the corner, so you can expect things to really start to heat up.
