It was only fitting that something so unique coming out of KV63 should remain in Luxor. KV63 is the most recent tomb discovered in the Valley of Kings and the team have been busy last season 2008/2009 investigating the many huge storage jars. There have been all sorts of things found within these and I am sure we will see some great analysis coming out deciding how, why and where these various articles were used.
One object, actually it was lots of bits, was found with these storage jars, is the Mummification Bed.
It has been put on display with 2 pillows also found in the tomb, it is interesting to speculate just what part they played.
