Stand by for a media frenzy.

Tutankhamun Tomb KV 62 Hidden Rooms
Dear Friends,
39c
What a wonderful and exciting morning at the Kings Valley. People gathered at the shelter in front of KV62. Those people included the Press from BBC TV, National Geographic, French TV and many Newspaper journalists. Then the dignities arrived and everyone got the chance to ask question and to discuss with Dr. Nicholas Reeves his theories and research. The morning went very well with everyone enjoying the moment and perhaps, all hoping in the realisation of their being at the beginning of something big in history.
We all had the chance to enter the tomb, take photos and to roughly see where the proposed Hidden Rooms might be, according to Dr. Reeves. In the tomb there were many officials, some wearing the SCA (Supreme Council of Antiquities) white coats. These men were mostly in the small anti chamber to the East of the tomb and the burial chamber where they were checking the laser images against the walls.
Those attending the public relations meeting were, Dr. Mamdouh El-Damaty - Minister of Antiquities, Mohamed Sayed Bard - Governor of Luxor, Ahmed Khalifa - Director of Public Relations, Ahmed Nouby Moussa - SIS Manager and other officials and Directors from different areas.
Dr. Mamdouh El-Damaty, Minister of Antiquities, agrees that Dr. Reeves has found something because they have found already the changes that show us that behind these walls we have to find other chambers. But, Nefertiti "I doubt". He thinks we have another discovery and says, why not the Queen Tiye? (Tut's Mother) It's another theory, or it could be a Prince or another royal member of the family of Tutankhamun. It's a double tomb but which one? Which person? We will have to wait until we see the results.
Dr. Nicholas Reeves explained his ideas and theory for there being further rooms in Tut's tomb. He says "I go where the evidence takes me" and the evidence at the moment suggests two things, it suggests there may be another doorway behind the West wall of the burial chamber. There may be another doorway behind the North wall. The West wall, if there is a chamber behind the West wall, then that corresponds to a Tutankhamun period storeroom. So there would be another Tutankhamun storeroom that has not been discovered before. If there is a chamber behind the North wall, the answer is of who or what is behind it. If you look at the Horemheb tomb TT57, you go down, you reach the well and on the opposite wall, you have a painted decoration, which has been broken down in antiquities time but you can see that the God Horus is cut through, you can see that this original decoration, the entire wall has been a disguise to hide its existence. If I am right, I think this is a similar situation. This is a disguised wall. Dr. Reeves had also stated that after his investigations of the tombs ceiling, it shows that it went beyond the North and West walls. He is now convinced his theory of further rooms is correct.

A Japanese team will arrive within a few months after permissions are granted from the authorities. They will use GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) The Japanese Archaeologist has had great success in South America using this method, it was also used here in the Kings Valley at KV63. Dr. Mamdouh Al-Damaty has promised that on the 4th November, the day the tomb was discovered by Howard Carter, the radar results will be announced.
