After the discovery of the royal mummies in 1881 and the Lansing excavation campaign in 1920, the Royal Cachette Wadi has traditionally been considered an archaeologically empty site. Since 2017 the C2 Project has undertaken two field campaigns at the site. The results permit to dispute the validity of the previous definition of the valley. In both campaigns, structures not previously described have been identified, such an area of worship with the presence of a monumental image on the mountain, offering tables and prayers and semi-caverns in the mountain with evidence of human action.
Dr. José R. Pérez-Accino is a Lecturer in Egyptology at Madrid, Complutense University and Director of the C2 Project Royal Cache Wadi Survey since 2017. He has lectured extensively about Egyptology in London and other UK places as well as in Spain, America and Egypt and excavated in Herakleopolis Magna, Tell Ibrahim Awad, TT 39 and Ankhtifi's tomb at Mo'alla.
