First Egyptian Tomb Since King Tut

An exciting archeological find:

Hopes of finding a royal mummy in the Valley of the Kings got a boost this week as a small, gilded sarcophagus emerged from the mysterious chamber known as KV63.

The finding will be described in "Egypt’s New Tomb Revealed," a Discovery Channel production that airs Sunday at 9 p.m. ET. The documentary will unveil the history of KV63 in what has become a true detective story.

Discovered in February by a team of archaeologists from the University of Memphis, led by Otto Schaden, KV63 still holds many mysteries. Buried under 13 feet of rubble and stones just 16 feet away from King Tutankhamun's resting place, the chamber is believed to be the 63rd tomb found since the valley was first mapped in the 18th century.

It is the first chamber discovered since the boy pharaoh was uncovered in 1922.
