But if that little snafu prompts extra caution and discretion in the hunt for KV64, then that’s a Good Thing.  Over at Heritage Key, I provide a little primer on this developing story..

 

  

The story of KV64 starts with the search for KV63, and this is a tale with more than a couple twists and turns.  There is a good chance that KV64 will be announced this fall or winter, so you will want to know the entire back story.  Hop over to Heritage Key, where I blog about this under my daytime name, Keith Payne:  Ramesses, Thutmose or Nerfertiti? The Search for KV64.

For a blog that specializes in the search for KV64, don’t miss Kate Phizackerley’s News from the Valley of the Kings.  Kate has devoted a considerable amount of time and effort to staying on top of this story.
