Have you read Thomas Hoving's book on the Tut discovery? Fascinating read. It was the first indication I had that Carter and Carnarvon and their party actually entered the tomb the night it was discovered, instead of waiting for the authorities as per the official story.
here's an update to this tomb find, posted by AdmSmith and pinged a few minutes ago. It's getting exciting! Another hurried burial, one would hope it is the missing royal family members of the Amarna period (Akhenaten and children; Nefertiti's tomb was apparently discovered by thieves in the 19th century, as some of the apparent funerary gear appeared on the market back then; a unique scarab with her name was found on the Ulu Burun wreck discovered off Turkey), but regardless, this could be a biggie.

I read chunks of the Hoving book. Somewhere around here there's a related topic that may be of interest...
