Multiple tombs?
According to a statement from the
Discovery Channel that was emailed
to Live Science, the company has
“exclusive” access to film the exca-
vations, which they hope to turn into
a series of documentaries.
There could be several undis-
covered royal tombs in the west-
ern valley, the Discovery statement
said. Hawass and other archaeolo-
gists have told Live Science in the
past that this is possible, although
the current excavations are focusing
on finding just one tomb — the one
whose entrance may have shown up
in radar scans.
“Led by renowned archaeologist
Dr. Zahi Hawass, the crew of more
than one hundred Egyptian workers
are digging in the largely untouched
western portion of the valley, where
leading archaeologists believe sever-
al royal tombs lie hidden,” Discovery
Channel representatives said.
Hawass discussed the team’s
excavations in a lecture  April 20 in
Tucson, Arizona, during the annual
meeting of the American Research
Center in Egypt.

McDougall had not done the orig-

did have the map.

"It really reinforced for me the
value the maps provide," he says.

"Really being able to see all the
details that had changed helped rein-
force what we are doing, and how
our cards can make diving better.

"I could understand the value as
a diver, being in the water holding

before.

we’re doing is useful."
