Carl Nicholas Reeves, FSA (born 28 September 1956), is a British Egyptologist, archaeologist and museum curator.
He received his Ph.D. in Egyptology (Studies in the Archaeology of the Valley of the Kings, with Particular Reference to Tomb Robbery and the Caching of the Royal Mummies) from Durham University in 1984.
Between 1998 and 2002 Reeves worked in the field as Director of the Amarna Royal Tombs Project in Egypt's Valley of the Kings, undertaking four seasons of survey and excavation with an international team in search of evidence for the missing burials of the women of Akhenaten's court.
He argued that these traces represent the "ghosts" of two hitherto unrecognized doorways likely to give access to: (1) a still unexplored storage chamber on the west, seemingly contemporary with the stocking of Tutankhamun's burial; and (2) a pre-Tutankhamun continuation of KV 62 towards the north.
Subsequent research has confirmed KV 62's basic, queenly plan and the north wall scene's Amarna proportions and diagnostic facial details; the discovery of palimpsest inscriptions further supports the view that the tomb continues, specifically to the burial apartments beyond of Nefertiti (interred as Akhenaten's successor Smenkhkare), KV 62's original and presumably still-present owner.
