Just wondering if there have been any new developments?

Only that it could hold the key to identifying Nefertititi's and
Akhenaten's mummies, solving the mysteries involving tombs labelled
for young Tut but containing others, and explaining why Tut's final
resting place has the standard floor plan of a queen's tomb.

A lot of things happened after Akhetaten was abandoned, and a lot of
tomb-building work had to be restarted during that post "sun-
worshippers" economic crisis. One would expect that any pits around
KV62 would be excavated in a frenzy of curiousity, so this lazy
attitude toward KV64 seems rather odd.

Perhaps there are political or theological reasons for the apparent
stonewalling.

I expect that its going to turn out to be another embalmers' cache
like KV63 rather than anything really spectacular. And I'd bet
anything that the biggest stumbling block right now is Hawass'
colossal ego.
