Transcript of Dr. Hawass' announcement of the shaft
by Barb Krause - Friday, 10 February 2006, 08:13 PM
Here is the transcript of the announcement Zahi made:
Zahi Hawass lecture from the morning of 1/26/2006, Cairo time
Zahi Hawass: Some good news. I was in Luxor two days ago and I did go to the Valley of the Kings to see this shaft that has been excavated by Memphis State University. And they believe that this shaft is intact and the excavators believe that it's the tomb of Nefertiti. I think that they're going to open it two days from now. But the bad news is that I don't think that it's intact. When I looked at it, I found out that it has a Dynasty 19 deposit. Means that, uh, if Dynasty 19 exists in the area means, that the shaft was stolen in Dynasty 19. But it's going to be very exciting.
And at the same time in Luxor I saw the American expedition working also from Johns Hopkins University. And they found this beautiful statue. It's a life size statue, made of granite and it's for a lady. And it has no name except the name of Amenhotep the third which means that this statue should be for queen TI, the wife of Amenhotep III.
This is just to tell you what's happening in the field of excavations, what we are doing.
(Went into the slideshow)
Q and A following slide show.
(Several questions unrelated to the find in Luxor)
Q: This shaft you said they found that might be Nefertiti's tomb, is this a newly found shaft?
Zahi Hawass: Yes. They found it last year. And they did cover it. And they wanted to announce it and I said you can't announce that you found that shaft. You have to excavate the shaft and after that, we can announce that you found something.
Uh, there was an English expedition working on the other side by some one, his name is (I couldn’t make it out). And we stopped this man for many reasons. But he came this year to claim that this is his concession. But, then, this is an expedition from Memphis University and they began, for the last month, to clean the deposit above that shaft. It's at the entrance of the Valley of the Kings exactly. And when I went two days ago, I found they are opening today or tomorrow. But I, I can feel it's not really intact. They think it's intact. Then we'll see who's wrong and who's right tomorrow.
