Hypothesis to account for objects belonging to the inner chambers of 

the tomb being found – some on the floor of the passage, others 

actually in rubble filling the passage.
The objects found on the floor of the passage imply that the passage 
was empty when they were dropped. That they were dropped is suggested
indicated by their broken state and irregular distribution.
The objects found in the rubble of the passage imply that they were 
dropped when the passage was partially full.
This points to two separate breaches, since the passage cannot have 
been both full and empty at the same time.
There was similar evidence for two distinct breaches on the blocking 
of the outer doorway, there being distinct being signs of two holes for the 
most part coincident, but one slightly larger than the other. Similar[?]
There were similar signs There were also similar signs on the blocking 
of the second doorway at the end of the passage. For the successive 
reclosings plaster of slightly different mixture has been employed, and in 
the place of the King's seals those of the Royal Necropolis were used.
