Egypt’s Queen Nefertiti, dubbed the “beautiful
one”, may have been hidden—no, make that buried—in plain sight, possibly within
the same burial chamber as the boy king Tutankhamun.
This possibility was reported by CNN based on
high-resolution images of the tomb taken by Madrid-based art restorer Factum
Arte. British archaeologist Nicholas Reeves said he believes he has found
Nefertiti’s final resting place.
Reeves said he spotted on the images
cracks in the walls that could indicate two previously unrecognized
"ghost" doorways that lay behind the walls.
"The implications are extraordinary if
digital appearance translates into physical reality,” said Reeves.
Tutankhamun’s tomb is one of Egypt’s greatest
discoveries made by Howard Carter in 1922. It was said that the tomb was cursed
because of the allegedly mysterious deaths of personalities linked to its
discovery.
Reeves theorized the Tutankhamun’s tomb is
just the entrance to a much grander tomb belonging to Nefertiti.
