The new tomb will be designated as "KV63" (for 63rd tomb catalogued in the Valley of the Kings). Most likely a non royal tomb intended for a single individual, but was later used to store the bodies of 4 others to safeguard them against tomb robbers.
Time of the initial burial is believed to be about the time of King Tutankhamun (aka King Tut).
