"KV64" is a radar anomaly discovered in the Valley of the Kings pharaonic necropolis in Egypt. It is believed that the anomaly could either be a new tomb or a chamber and is located 50 feet north of KV63 which was discovered in March 2006. The designation of KV64 is not official, and the existence of such a tomb is dismissed by Zahi Hawass, head of the Supreme Council of Antiquities. It is possible, however, that Reeves' announcement of the KV64 find displeased Dr. Hawass since only the Supreme Council of Antiquities can formally make such an official pronouncement on a tomb's status. In a letter to USA Today, Dr. Hawass writes: If what Mr. Reeves says is true, then why didn't he present this report to the Supreme Council of Antiquities" and adds "Radar can also show anomalies that are not necessarily tomb shafts. It seems to me that Mr. Reeves wants publicity more than conducting his work through a scientific approach. For this reason, I am writing you to state that the information is not true." Reeves responds to Hawass' criticism by noting that that "he had alerted Hawass and the Supreme Council as to KV 63's location in August 2005, but received no reply. Anticipating a similar response for KV 64, "rightly or wrongly," Reeves says, he decided to release the information about the possible new tomb without any delay. "Yes, I am clearly seeking publicity — but not for my own ends," he says by e-mail. "My sole ambition in this is to see archaeological work in the Valley of the Kings carried out with the care and attention it deserves and so desperately needs." [Source] .

KV64 is the Amarna Royal Tombs Project, based in Britian, and directed by Dr. Nicholas Reeves. His last article was in late July. My feeling is that we probably won't get any updated information on KV64 until early next year. .
