TV program to show unearthing of tombThe ancient Egyptian tomb discovered this year in the Valley of the Kings by Earl Ertman, University of Akron professor emeritus, and Otto Schaden, expedition project director, will be featured June 4 on the Discovery Channel... The program, Egypt's New Tomb Revealed, will air at 9 p.m. and will take viewers along as cameras descend a narrow shaft beneath desert sands to see the most significant find in the Valley of the Kings in more than 80 years... It's believed that KV63 was a tomb used for embalming. Inside the tomb chamber were five wooden mummy cases, 28 alabaster jars (18 of which had material used to embalm mummies) and several decorative stamps used to seal the jars. A seal with the inscription PA-ATEN is thought to have formed part of the name given to Tutankhamen's wife, Ankhesenamun. A woven garland of dried flowers was also found, indicating that a funeral had taken place nearby, Ertman said.
