Researchers stated that they're persuaded the Egyptian pharaoh's tomb bears a concealed chamber that has yet to be investigated. Chamber's size is still unknown, yet analysts are convinced the radar imaging scans show that it does exist.
Few researchers are certain that the departed remains of Queen Nefertiti, thought to be Tutankhamun's stepmother may be among the treasures lying behind a dividing wall in the tomb.
Mamdouh al-Damaty, Egyptian artifacts minister, stated at a news conference on Saturday that they said before there was a 60 percent chance there is something behind the dividers. But after the initial reading of the outputs, they are stating now it's 90 percent likely there is something behind the walls.
Others, similar to Nicholas Reeves, a British Egyptologist driving the examination, trust the tomb was really Nefertiti's, and that Tutankhamun was, for no good reason, put in the external chamber. Scientists have wondered why Tutankhamun's tomb was all the more elaborately similar to that of rulers at the time, and smaller than that of different pharaohs buried in surrounding areas. In any case, the revelation could be basic to seeing more about ancient Egypt, and as NBC notes, could help Egypt's fading tourism industry.
A week ago, archeologists in Egypt started examining the tomb for potential chambers, provoked by pictures found in August that proposed a mystery chamber lay behind Tut's remains. The Guardian reports that the first radar pictures taken in the initial three days of testing will be sent over to Japan for investigation.
The quest for the hidden chambers will begin again in Luxor, in southern Egypt after a month. On Saturday, Reeves said the group would be continuing with great consideration. He expressed that the key is to excavate gradually and record well. All archaeology is disruption. They can't return and re-do it, so they need to do it well in any case.
According to NBC News, researchers assume to break on through to the other side, so to make statements, within the next three months.
