King Tut’s tomb may contain hidden chambers

National Geographic : For the first time ever, radar scans have been conducted inside the tomb of Tutankhamun in Egypt. The scanning was done by Japanese radar specialist Hirokatsu Watanabe, who spent two days collecting data about the material structure of the walls and any open spaces behind them. Among those overseeing the operation was Egyptian antiquities minister Mamdouh Eldamaty, who said that, based on an initial analysis of the data, he was “90 percent positive” that another chamber lies behind the north wall of the tomb. If so, it may contain the final remains of Queen Nefertiti, King Tut’s mother-in-law, according to British archaeologist Nicholas Reeves. It is hoped that further analysis will provide enough information to warrant drilling a hole through one of the walls for the insertion of a small camera to search for artifacts.
