(1) G 7000 X
A closer examination shows that the supposed doorway in the lower pit, south side is only an unfinished cutting about 50 cm deep.
*B5895
After photographing the filling of the pit at this stage, leveled the filling with limestone fragments and put in a wooden floor as a stage to the next step in clearing the main deposit. I am convinced that there is nothing in the tomb except the main deposit.

(2) G 7050
G 7050 B: Down _ meters. Chamber on south. Open and full of dirty debris.
