KV 5 Update


Theban Mapping Project (Kent Weeks)

Thanks very much to Kate Phizackerley's "News from the Valley of the Kings" blog for the information that Kent Weeks has published a brief 2009 update on the clearing of KV 5, the tomb of the sons of Ramesses II. It is available on the Theban Mapping Project website. If you're not familiar with the tomb it is worth looking at the page just to see the site plan - remarkable!

The same page has Weeks's article Developing a Management Plan For Egypt's Valley of the Kings (Summer 2008).
