    off topic for last time,

    could be much larger than we know at present, in addition it would be the right shape and size for a queens tomb. it could explain the kv63 tomb, which seems to contain too much in the way of burial materials for just Tut.
    yes i gather the data will now be studied in Japan for about a month before deciding on the next step

    best wishes

    Wifey is very excited too, Tut is one of her side interests. Australian Convict children and Tudor England are her first loves and formed he basis of her Honours Thesis and PhD.

    Yes it has a great significance for me, Egyptology is my first love, with a particular interest in the Amarna period.

    i started a trilogy back in the 90's, shall we call it a work in progress.
    Funnily enough i have a hidden tomb in tuts tomb, mine was under the sarcophagus, that was written in 1994.

    so the news the last few weeks, and today has shall we say put a smile on my face.

    regards
    It is interesting news yes, but the assumption would imply the tomb was intended for Nefertiti in the first place which just doesn't seem credible to me, it is still too small for a royal tomb.
    We'll have to see what steps are taken next to investigate the problem.

    I am also very interested in Ancient Egypt, and archaeology the New Kingdom into the Iron Age.

    i will give up on the Apartment bit, its not part of the evidence, just me being protective of British English.
    Understandable, I am English too.

    This is a costermongers barrow of the period.



    So how would you get several of these into that front room without removing the front of the building?

    This is not a trial, we only discuss historical problems here!
    Not sure who gave him power over what can and can't be discussed on these threads, and in my opinion (and others are free to disagree) legal issues are very much a part of this case, and when we are talking about he inquests even more so.

    Pierre,

    Has far as i am aware to tell an untruth while under oath at an inquest is perjury, and is a criminal offence, if i am wrong about this i will happily apologise.

    why will you not answer a simple question, it only requires a yes or no.
    its not offensive, it just asks if you have evidence that there was evidence that was not given.

    Ah, thankyou, I had wondered if you had seen that photo.

    Yes, you notice how small those front windows are when compared with them next door at No. 27?

    What you see is later remodeling of the front to conform to how it was intended to be, but the windows being a later addition are smaller.
    Is it? What is the source for that?

    (And when is "later"?)

    you replied to Wickerman

    ""...Dr Phillips asked me not to force the door but to test the dogs if they were coming,.."
    Abberline, at the inquest"

    that is fair enough, but you go on to say

    The point is that there must have been a reason for the statement of Abberline at the inquest"

    that reason was to wait for the dogs, are you accusing Abberline of perjury?

    This is not a trial, we only discuss historical problems here!

    you continue

    " and that there ,are reasons to believe that this reason has to do with circumstances at this crime scene that the police did not want to share with the public."

    You appear to be saying the real reason was evidence they did not want to go public.
    my question once again is what support do you have for this belief?

    Why should this be controversial? I will not answer this question, sorry.

    self-contained is normal taken to be Kitchen, Toilet and bathroom included,

    it was used, but it was not and is not common usage in UK.
    Yes, but Wikipedia was not around in 1888.

    However the word was applied in England a century ago was the correct use, at the time, whereas today we adopt a modernised application, and this is the application described in Wiki.

    Kelly's room was self contained, she had a bed, table, fire. Rooms (in fact houses of the time it was built) did not contain running water.

    By the way, slightly off-topic here but, does El-Amarna hold any significance for you?
    (interest, study, hobby?)

    There are two windows directly above the front door, but paneling across the front of the building where the old windows should have been.

    i am referring to you post number 74
    i still cant get hang of quoting here so afraid cut and paste:

    "I agree.

    But letīs not go into discussion about who decided what on the crime scene.

    The point is that there must have been a reason for the statement of Abberline at the inquest and that there are reasons to believe that this reason has to do with circumstances at this crime scene that the police did not want to share with the public."

    What may I ask are you talking about with regards to his statement at the inquest, i have reread it many times and nothing seems odd about it.
    I see. The statement was (according to Wickerman in post 73):

    ""...Dr Phillips asked me not to force the door but to test the dogs if they were coming,.."
    Abberline, at the inquest"

    Regards Pierre
