Archaeologist Alain Zivie about the Tomb of Aper-el at Saqqara

( http://heritage-key.com/blogs/malcolmj/archaeovideo-dr-alain-zivie-reveals-tr... ) - French archaeologist Dr Alain Zivie shows some of the findings from the Tomb of the vizier Aper-el, which dates from the latter part of the 18th Dynasty, around 1353-1335 BC and are now stored at the Imhotep Museum at Saqqara. Dr Zivie explains that the difficulty in accessing the tomb meant that it was never raided in modern times, and only in ancient times when the thieves were not seeking antiquities.

(especially as you could not mention 'wig stand' when I was looking for the appropriate name to put on the picture... -grmbls-)
