One of the world’s foremost Egyptologists says that recent hieroglyphics discoveries in King Tut’s tomb give further credence to a theory he put forth more than seven years ago: that Queen Nefertiti’s body is inside a hidden chamber next to that of her stepson, King Tutankhamun.
Nicholas Reeves, an Egyptologist and former curator at the British Museum, realized that cartouches—carved oval or oblong tablets that enclose a group of Egyptian hieroglyphs—showing Tutankhamun being buried by Ay, his successor, had been painted over other cartouches that showed Tutankhamen burying Nefertiti, according to the Guardian.
“I can now show that, under the cartouches of Ay, are cartouches of Tutankhamun himself, proving that that scene originally showed Tutankhamun burying his predecessor, Nefertiti. You would not have had that decoration in the tomb of Tutankhamun,” he told the Guardian...
In 2015, Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities gave Reeves permission to do on-site 3D resonances, which support his theories.
Reeves argued at that time that the high-resolution images of Tutankhamun’s tomb showed lines underneath plastered surfaces of painted walls, suggesting unexplored doorways. However, some other experts felt that the scans were inconclusive, according to The Guardian.

Yeah, that was a ringing condemnation ation by a sanctimonious showbiz nitwit, Steve Martin.

Beam me up Scottie!
I haven’t heard that theory before, but it certainly could be the case.
(I’m hoping that there are more surprises behind that wall, however🙂)
“Hawass needs to catch a very painful disease for the damage he has singlehandedly wrought upon the science of archaeology.”
That dude has a serious ego issue.
If it wasn’t about Zahi Hawass then it didn’t see the light of day. I experienced a bit of schadenfreude when he was escorted out the back door and told to take his hat with him.
[snip] In her biography, Eady, who was known as Omm Sety, claimed that based on a conversation with a pharaoh in another life, she knew where Nefertiti’s tomb was. “It’s in the Valley of the Kings, and it’s quite near to the Tutankhamun tomb,” she said, according to the biography. “But it’s in a place where nobody would ever think of looking for it. And apparently it is still intact.” [/snip]

That would be remarkable if true. I hope they continue to investigate to either discover or debunk….
The rest of the keyword, sorted (some overlap with the Nicholas Reeves keyword):
Reeves seems to be fixated on Nefertiti. His earlier idea was that the pit ‘tomb’ KV-63 was her tomb.

Zahi “Zowie” Hawass hit job on Reeves:

They make it sound mysterious but the hieroglyphic is just an arrow pointing out the location... : )
hieroglyphs are hard to crack, even worse than midroglyphs and lowroglyphs...
