There’s no secret chamber in King Tut’s tomb after all, researchers conclude

Three years ago, a renowned Egyptologist made a prediction that, if proved true, would solve the mystery of the only missing mummy from the dynasty of King Tutankhamen.

Nicholas Reeves of the University of Arizona believed he had found the final resting place of Queen Nefertiti.

He analyzed detailed laser scans of a painted scene on the north side of Tutankhamen’s burial chamber. He concluded that a number of cracks indicated two previously concealed doors, potentially leading to a hidden chamber housing the remains of Nefertiti. She was Tut’s stepmother, married to his father, the pharaoh Akhenaten.
