LUXOR, Egypt (AP) — The search for ancient Egypt’s Queen Nefertiti in an alleged hidden chamber in King Tut’s tomb gained new momentum as Egypt’s Antiquities Minister said Tuesday he is now more convinced a queen’s tomb may lay hidden behind King Tutankhamun’s final resting place.
While touring the burial sites of Tutankhamun and other pharaohs in Luxor’s famed Valley of the Kings with British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves, Minister Mamdouh el-Damaty said he now thinks King Tut’s 3,300 year-old pharaonic mausoleum probably contains at least one hidden chamber.
Reeves theorized that Tutankhamun, popularly known as King Tut, who died at the age of 19, may have been rushed into an outer chamber of what was originally Nefertiti’s tomb.
“I agree with him that there’s probably something behind the walls,” el-Damaty said. But he said if anyone is buried there it is likely Kia, believed by some Egyptologists to be King Tut’s mother.
High-resolution images of King Tut’s tomb “revealed several very interesting features which look not at all natural, features like very, very straight lines which are 90 degrees to the ground, positioned so as to correspond with other features within the tomb,” Reeves said during the visit.
These features would have been difficult to capture with the naked eye, he said.
Reeves said the walls could conceal two unexplored doorways, one of which perhaps leads to Nefertiti’s tomb. He also argues that the design of the tomb suggests it was built for a queen, rather than a king.
El-Damaty said he will seek final approval for a radar inspection of the tomb.
Nefertiti, famed for her beauty and who was the subject of a famous 3,300-year-old bust, was the primary wife of the Pharaoh Akhenaten, who tried and failed to switch Egypt to an early form of monotheism. Akhenaten was succeeded by a pharaoh referred to as Smenkhare and then Tut, who is widely believed to have been Akhenaten’s son.
Reeves believes that Smenkhare is actually Nefertiti.
“Nefertiti disappears … according to the latest inscriptions just being found,” said Reeves. “I think that Nefertiti didn’t disappear, she simply changed her name.”
