Where is Queen Nefertiti’s Tomb?
For thousands of years, people wondered: What happened to Queen Nefertiti?
She lived and died in the 14th century B.C.
But where is her body buried?
It remains a mystery.
Now, archaeologists think they might be close to an answer …
She might be behind this wall, in a hidden chamber, or room, inside King Tutankhamun’s tomb.
Tut is famous for the discovery of his tomb — found undisturbed, while many others were robbed years ago.
An X-ray machine was brought in to help in the search. With cameras recording the event, a Japanese radar specialist used modern technology to get an ancient tomb to give up its secrets.
Egyptian Antiquities Minister Mamdouh al-Damaty told reporters recently that before the X-ray scans, there was a 60 percent chance that something was behind those walls.
Now, he says, “it’s 90 percent likely there is something behind these walls.”
If the mystery is solved, if, indeed it is Nefertiti’s tomb, it will be the largest discovery in Egypt in a long time.
