Researchers Reexamine Theory That Tutankhamun's Tomb Conceals Nefertiti's Burial

Egyptologists are revisiting a long-standing hypothesis that King Tutankhamun's tomb was originally built for Queen Nefertiti, with his burial possibly inserted into a larger, pre-existing chamber. The theory suggests hidden passages or rooms within the tomb complex could still hold Nefertiti's remains or grave goods.

New geophysical data revive claims of hidden chambers near Tutankhamun's tomb

Researchers led by Mamdouh Eldamaty and Nicholas Reeves say gravitational surveys and ground-penetrating radar reveal signs of a concealed complex of corridors and rooms adjoining Tutankhamun's KV62 tomb in the Valley of the Kings. The team believes this structure predates Tutankhamun's burial and could be linked to Queen Nefertiti, though excavation approval from Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities is still pending.
