The Cave of Sokar


This is Dr. Hawass on the tunnel in the tomb of Seti I in the Valley of Kings which his team have recently finished excavating. Dr. Hawass explains the tunnels meaning including the Kings plan of building a tomb within the tomb but Seti's time ran out and the tunnel was never completed.

Dr. Hawass now turns his gaze to the tomb of Seti's son Ramesses II who's tomb in the Valley of Kings also has an unexcavated tunnel at the end of it except Ramesses II had plenty of time to complete his tomb.
