British archaeologist and Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves recently said that there may be a secret chamber that has yet to be excavated inside the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun (aka King Tut). This chamber could be the resting place of Nefertiti - the powerful Queen of Egypt. The tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun was found in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt in 1922. Inside this ancient tomb is the mummy of Pharaoh Tutankhamun and more than 5,000 rare artifacts.
Queen Nefertiti was the stepmother of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. To this day, experts have yet to find the burial place of Queen Nefertiti, famous for her beauty and power in ancient Egypt. Archaeologist Reeves examined high-resolution scans of the walls of the pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb as well as historical records. From there, he concluded that there was a secret room inside Tutankhamun's burial chamber. According to Mr. Reeves, Queen Nefertiti was buried as a pharaoh because she was a great queen who led one of the most prosperous and stable periods in ancient Egyptian history.
Mr. Reeves believes that the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun was originally built for Queen Nefertiti. However, because Pharaoh Tutankhamun unexpectedly died at the age of 19, before the tomb could be built, he was buried in the tomb originally intended for Queen Nefertiti. Archaeologist Reeves's views gained more public attention when he presented evidence of a gold mask found on the mummy of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. The mask had holes for earrings - something that male pharaohs did not have. This has led many experts to believe that the mask was not originally intended for Pharaoh Tutankhamun.
To get an exact answer about Queen Nefertiti's resting place, experts will conduct research and survey the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun in the hope of soon finding authentic evidence. Readers are invited to watch the video : Excavation of an 800-year-old mummy in Peru. Source: THĐT1.
