Getty to assist in Valley of the Queens
http://tinyurl.com/hzc6j (Los Angeles Times - Calendar Live)
The Getty Conservation Institute is to assist Egypt to conserve tombs in the Valley of the Queens: "Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities and the Getty Conservation Institute have entered into a six-year partnership for the conservation and management of the Valley of the Queens, one of the world's most important archeological sites. Building on an earlier collaborative effort — which conserved wall paintings in the tomb of Nefertari — the new project calls for a methodical approach to long-term preservation of a broader area on the west bank of the Nile at Luxor." During 2006-2008 research and planning work will be carried out, before plans are implemented between 2009 and 2011
