Why Queen Nefertiti is making headlines

The Egyptian queen?

Yes.

What about her?

Did you know she disappeared without a trace 3,000 years ago?

Oh! Did they find her now?

Well, they found her tomb.

Sherlock?

Not Sherlock but Dr Nicholas Reeves of the University of Arizona. He has been using radar and thermal imaging to examine the walls of King Tutankhamun's tomb. He says it has provided strong evidence that Nefertiti lies hidden behind two doorways in the king's burial chamber.

Whoa… chamber of secrets?

Yeah. The scanning of surfaces has revealed the seeming presence of two intact doorways behind the painting decoration of the burial chamber’s west and north walls.

Did they enter the secret passage?

No. Digging cannot begin immediately. They have to protect the tomb of Tutankhamun first.

So what now?

Reeves wants to use thermal imaging to scan and differentiate between bedrock and the artificial walls. Experts will conduct radar studies at the site, which could begin in the next one to three months.

But tut dated so many women. It could be of anyone right?

Yes. We will have to wait for the final discovery. If proved correct, king Tut will be dethroned and his resting place will be known as the Tomb of Nefertiti.

Tut won’t be very happy

The Curse of the Pharaohs is only a legend. Just claptrap.
