Search continues for Egypt’s lost Queen Nefertiti, focus on King Tut’s tomb

LUXOR, Egypt (Reuters) – A British Egyptologist said yesterday he would conduct further investigations into whether the tomb of Ancient Egypt’s boy-king Tutankhamun contains passages to a hidden chamber, including what he believes is the last resting place of Queen Nefertiti.

Nicholas Reeves announced his plans during a joint news conference with Egyptian Antiquities Minister Mamdouh al-Damaty, who said data would be taken to Japan for study, and that chances were high that a chamber exists.
