He’s baaaack. As obsessive and tunnel-vision this guy is, I still root for him over Hawass.

In case anyone is interested, my view is that Nefertiti’s tomb (along with loads of tombs of pharaohs and other queens, and those are known to have taken place) were viciously robbed during pharaonic times, and when the pharaonic cache ( https://www.ancient-origins.net/ancient-places-africa/db320-uncovering-impressive-cache-hidden-pharaohs-005190 ) was established and filled by the Egyptian priests, they did a similar, separate cache for the queens.
That’s only a wild, uneducated guess.
In the late years of the 19th century, rumors emerged of a nighttime surreptitious caravan of plundered tomb materials, and antiquities with Nefertiti’s cartouche appeared in the Cairo bazaars. Soooo, my guess is, while the pharaoh cache was rediscovered by tomb robbers, they got caught, and that turned into an archaeological windfall. But tomb robbers also found this theoretical cache of queens, and were never caught, and it has never since been rediscovered.
So, Nefertiti’s mummy is still resting somewhere with other mummies, or rather, was discarded after being stripped of everything of value. IOW, her tomb was robbed twice.
Hawass could also still be right, and the KV35 mummies (originally three unidentifieds were found there if memory serves) may include Nefertiti — though I doubt it. Sounds like a hijacking and warming over of this kooky crap:

BTW, Nefertiti was never a pharaoh in her own right, and probably predeceased Akhenaten, or died very shortly after he did, or, perhaps, died at the same time, because another wild guess is, he was slain in an uprising or coup.
