Tutankhamun’s burial chamber may contain door to Nefertiti’s tomb

Hidden hieroglyphics could suggest the king is buried within a much larger structure housing the Egyptian queen

The discovery of hidden hieroglyphics within Tutankhamun's tomb lends weight to a theory that the fabled Egyptian queen Nefertiti lies in a hidden chamber adjacent to her stepson's burial chamber, a world-renowned British Egyptologist has said.

Nicholas Reeves, a former curator in the British Museum's Department of Egyptian Antiquities, said that while the theory remained unproven after inconclusive radar scans, it has been given fresh impetus following the new clue.
