Tenth Annual Tony Harkus Memorial Lecture
The Excavation of KV39 in the Valley of the Kings
Ian Buckley, Director of KV39
A tomb that actually sits above the Valley of the Kings , KV39 is rightly called an enigma. Was it the tomb of Amenhotep I? Internally it is actually two, or even three, tombs. Ian has conducted the most comprehensive investigation into KV39 and its secrets.
