Nefertiti

>:1 Similar article in today's (Thursday) Daily Telegraph together with a plan showing two possible extra rooms - one of which is possibly just a storeroom. I understand the theory could fairly easily be tested using a radar scanner although if positive a good bit of planning may be necessary to work out how to gain access with something a bit less crude than Carter's pick and shovel. It also says the chamber doing a right turn from the access steps was more commonly used for queens rather than kings. I can't wait for more.

Wow. That would be a spectacular find!

Can't wait to see what comes of this!

Whether it's Nefertiti or not, it should be fascinating!

I see there is an very short note in today's Daily Telegraph that the Egyptian authorities have decided to allow a radar scan in the tomb.

A note on BBC saying that the Egyptian authorities are now 90% sure there is a hidden chamber/cavity behind the wall. Possibly a corridor leading to another chamber.

How crazy is that ?

Much more likely that it's the tomb of Nefertiti than some sort of grain storage.

There's a short article in the Times (London) today which says that radar scanning has found two chambers behind the walls of Tutankhamun's tomb and moreover that they contain both metallic and organic materials. On the picture with the text one chamber is designating as a storeroom and the other as "possible burial chamber" for Nefertiti. The text doesn't clarify this distinction and in fact the scanning was done over several days by Hirokatsu Watanabe who say the team is 90% sure the two spaces are burial chambers. There's going to be another series of scans at the end of the month. I've put a link below but suspect the article could be behind a paywall.

National Geographic have been doing a radar scan and according to today's Times they say there is no hidden chamber. I'm disappointed to say the least.

So it seems and nobody wants to break the dissapointing news...

>15 Macumbeira:: Thanks for the link — a lot more information there than was in the very brief Times piece.

The Guardian is one of the few newspapers still allowing longer reads for free.
