No hidden rooms in Tutankhamun burial chamber, says Egypt

Antiquities ministry says radar scans give conclusive evidence there are no hidden rooms

Egypt's antiquities ministry has said new radar scans provide conclusive evidence that there are no hidden rooms inside King Tutankhamun's burial chamber.

Mostafa Waziri, the secretary general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, said an Italian team had conducted extensive studies with ground-penetrating radar that showed the tomb did not contain any hidden, manmade blocking walls, as was earlier suspected.
