In reply to the recent postings regarding KV5....
I was one of the lucky ones to have been inside the tomb;
I was a member of Dr. Weeks' team in the summer of 1994.
While I was there, Egyptian workers had found the first
hallway which stretches back to the statue of Osiris.
Catharine Roehrig and I had dared each other to crawl
into one of the smaller chambers to the right - but the
opening was so small we couldn't imagine being able to
get back out once inside. The tomb _is_ as described in
one post - literally full to the ceiling with limestone
debris from flooding. You really have to crawl around
in this one to see anything ! There are some rooms
were the mud had settled and you can kind of stand/slouch;
but for the most part this is impossible. In the first
two rooms at the entrance the ceiling is badly damaged 
and falling in some places; the columns are there, but 
many are damaged and probably would not be able to hold
the weight of the ceiling as they once did. Lots of
difficult engineering and structural problems to deal
with... 
I had a great time last year, and I am very proud to
even have played a minor role in documenting the
tomb. Congrats again to Dr. Weeks, a remarkable
find ! Thanks for giving me the chance to work with
you...
