Thanks BenLurkin and wildbill.
Archaeologist Nicholas Reeves believes Tutankhamun's remains may have been rushed into an outer chamber of what was originally Queen Nefertiti's tomb... Dr Reeves developed his theory after the Spanish artistic and preservation specialists, Factum Arte, were commissioned to produce detailed scans... then used to produce a facsimile of the... tomb... Reeves spotted what he believed were marks indicating where two doorways used to be.
I'm 99% sure Nefertiti isn't in either of these spaces. A few years back, Reeves claimed that KV-63, a pit tomb not far from KV-62, would hold Nefertiti's burial. It didn't. The Egyptian antiquities people had an infrared survey done last month, it verified that there probably are spaces behind those walls. This led to the past week's radar examination to determine if the infrared and visual inspections were correct.

Y'know, I wish they'd just get a long titanium bit, drill one hole in each spot, and have a look using fiber optics. This could have been done months ago after Reeves first spotted the (btw, obvious as hell) cracks of each opening. But, nooooooo -- gotta get all fancy with infrared and radar, just to make it look like we're not dealing with medieval savages who only started wearing shoes after WWII.

I thought I saw a TV special on testing of a mummy to see if it was Nefertiti. And the conclusion was....

the first thing they should do after drilling the hole is to take an air sample. I believe this to be standard procedure for ancient sealed burial chambers.

of course, they should get ready to scatter should some bloodsucking black scarab beetles appear... :-)

Probably just a grain bin.
