KV-63 was Not a Tomb

[heremon]

After viewing the interminably drawn-out kv63 documentaries again last
night, wherein each stage of the discovery is repeated again and again
to heighten suspense, it seemed rather annoying for anyone to still
refer to this pit as a tomb. More like some sort of disposal pit, it
has no wall paintings and no tomblike floor plan. It almost certainly
contains former contents of kv62, minus the former occupant.

On a different note, I wonder about the nature of medications used by
the lineage of thutmose for their apparent (from ct scanning) skin
problems. Doubtless, by the time of the later inheritors of their
ailment, a wide range of herbals would have been in royal hands. What
would the list include?

Could Akhnaten's Amarna shift possibly have been the result of certain
mind-altering topicals, available to pharaonic circles of his dynasty?

Agree. Junk pit after disposal of Armarna dead. (destruction)

Now that Nefertiti and Akhenaten are both identified, it would be so
nice to settle them both back in the pharoah's tomb at Amarna.

As for Tut's current resting place, I wonder if the wall paintings
cover some earlier frescoes. Or, possibly, if there are signs of the
original paintings getting removed.
