Has Nefertiti’s final resting place finally been found?

A recent radar survey of King Tut’s tomb has revealed evidence of secret chambers — and researchers believe the rooms could be the lost tomb of Egyptian queen Nefertiti.

Researchers, “led by archaeologist Mamdouh Eldamaty, a former Egyptian minister of antiquities, (who) used ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to scan the area immediately around Tutankhamun’s tomb and gave an exclusive glimpse of the findings to Nature Magazine. They report they have identified a previously unknown corridor-like space a few meters from the burial chamber.”

The findings are “tremendously exciting,” Ray Johnson, an Egyptologist at the University of Chicago’s Oriental Institute in Luxor, Egypt, told Nature. “Clearly there is something on the other side of the north wall of the burial chamber.”

According to Nature, “some Egyptologists believe that immediately before Tut’s reign in the 14th century BC, Nefertiti, whose daughter was married to Tut, briefly ruled as pharaoh. Her tomb in the Valley of the Kings has never been found.”
