D. in Egyptology from Yale University in 1970, and took the post of Professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo in 1988, which he holds to this day. In 1978, Dr Weeks began the Theban Mapping Project. One of the largest finds of the project has been the rediscovery of Valley of the Kings number five (KV5). KV5 revealed the tombs of the sons of Ramses II in which Dr. Weeks and his team have uncovered mummies, jewellery, and other artifacts that have helped advance Egyptology into the twenty first century. Simon Adams was born in Bristol, UK, and studied at London and Bristol universities.
