Amarna Royal Tombs Project


The Amarna Royal Tombs Project is an archaeological expedition devoted to the Amarna Period. It was established in 1998 to ascertain on the ground and in the ancient records the fate of the missing Amarna royal dead, which were transferred to the Valley of the Kings upon the abandonment of Amarna during the 18th dynasty reign of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Nicholas Reeves serves as the project director.
