2 Feb 2818 Egypt begins scans of Tutankhamun's tomb ![]() An Egyptologist believes the tomb may contain the burial chamber of Queen Nefertiti Egypt's Antiquities Ministry has said archaeologists have begun radar scans of Tutankhamun's tomb in the hope of finding hidden chambers. In 2015, a British Egyptologist claimed to have found evidence of a chamber behind the pharaoh's tomb, based on photographs and scans of its northern wall. Nicholas Reeves suggested that the chamber might contain the tomb of Nefertiti, the wife of Tutankhamun's father. The pharaoh's burial site, which was discovered in 1922, lies in the Valley of the Kings near the city of Luxor. Archaeologists are now scanning it with ground-penetrating radar to see if they can find evidence of any chambers. The leader of the group, Professor Franco Porcelli, told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica that his team has already found two empty spaces and hopes to have an answer to Reeve's hypothesis in the next few months.
