The Corridor
The corridor was unblocked by November 26th 1922, it was filled to the the ceiling with limestone and rubble, something again disturbed Carter, he noticed that parts of the limestone had a different type of stone to the other, showing that someone had opened the tomb before...GRAVE ROBBERS!
Had all of his work been for nothing?.....
' As we cleared the passage we found, mixed with the rubble of the lower levels, broken potsherds, jar sealings, alabaster jars, whole and broken, vases of painted pottery, numerous fragments of smaller articles, and water skins, these last having obviously been used to bring water needed for the plastering of the doorways. These wear clear evidence of plundering, and we eyed them askance. ' -Carter.
