Nice to see Zahi Hawass on his usual understated form :)  Where Zahi goes, National Geographic tends to follow, so we should get a documentary on this at some point.

Thanks for this additional link, Dave!  Based upon the photos in your linked article, this dig is not explicitly in the Valley of the Kings but near Medinet Habu and other mortuary temples at the edge of development and agriculture.
