It's not surprising that Dr Hawass disagrees here with Dr Reeve's ideas. It was also Dr. Reeves who searched for a tomb near KV62 using satellite images in 2006:

Dr. Zahi Hawass may or may not believe in a "curse" (the so-called Curse of Tutankhamon is the Arabic Population's interpretation of the supernatural. I believe the tomb is just haunted by an angry Ka Spirit of Tut that cannot move on, so he kills anyone near the burial chamber -- which could be a connection to the hidden chamber (as written in Chapter 15 of Eye of the Pharaoh, c.1990), where his family can be found if he murdered them in a fit of rage after discovering that they wrote to the Hittites while he was still Pharaoh?). Dr. Zahi Hawass used parts of my book for his theories, no doubt he read some of them before answering Reeve's theory. A Theory is an "educated guess" - Archaeologists who research data in a library make theories first then go excavate to see if they are correct or not. I doubt the tomb was for Nefertiti - my first theory was the tomb was constructed for Smenkhkara, which was violated while Tut was Pharaoh, so Tut used it for himself so he wouldn't need to build one. Now perhaps someone else is in there, because the tomb was "too small for a Pharaoh" -- see KV5 - the tomb for Ramses the Great's children. It was originally found to be smaller than discovered. Tut has been libeled by Egyptology as being "insignificant" based entirely on tomb size. What if he wasn't? What if the tomb is like KV5? Then someone needs to rewrite History. Now.
