KV63 website updated

http://www.kv-63.com/index.html

I don't know how I came to miss this, because I check the site every morning, but there is a posting dated 23rd May on the KV63 website which I haven't previously picked up on. Details include more information about the contents of some of the coffins: " Coffin G, the youth coffin, contains several high quality pillows layered on top, just beneath the lid. These ‘pillows’ are finely stitched and stuffed with a ‘down’ material. Textile specialist, Elise Van Rooij from Holland, arrived on Friday to examine the pillows along with textiles found from Coffin B. She will photograph, study, and analyze the pillows before they are removed, hopefully in the next week or so." See the above page for more details.

There are also promises of reports and photographs which will added to the site soon.

Thanks very much to Carolin Johansson who pointed out that new photographs have been added to the site, which are now spread over two different web pages, the second page containing photographs exclusively from April and May 2006:
