An investigation by the British archaeologist Nicholas Reeves has fueled speculation about where it might have been buried the legendary Egyptian queen Nefertiti, whose tomb was not found so far.
The archaeologist has found new evidence that seems to prove that after the death chamber in which he was buried Pharaoh Tutancamón in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, could have been two more graves, and one of them might be that of Nefertiti.
The researcher from the University of Arizona, in the United States, refers to possible cracks in the wall that would have remained hidden to be the tomb painted later. The researcher discovered in the high resolution images of the recently published Tutancamón tomb, known by the acronym KV62.
That may northern camera comes from a previous era of the famous boy king (who lived in throne to 1330 BC) and could be the “grave not sacked” Nefertiti, writes the archaeologist in his essay for the research project on the excavations at Amarna.
“If I’m wrong, I’m wrong . But if I have reason could be the greatest archaeological discovery of all time “he quotes the British weekly” The Economist “the words of Reeves.
Several German newspapers also reported that defended at the trial thesis.
Olivia Zorn, deputy director of the Egyptian Museum in Berlin, believes that the theory is so far speculative Reeves. “It is an experienced Amarna founded and works with research approaches,” he told dpa. “But you can only reach accurate conclusions with field research.”
The tomb of Tutancamón became a sensation since its discovery by British Howard Carter in 1922, due to its relative integrity and their valuable funerary offerings. However, over the tomb of Nefertiti and the kinship of both there are numerous speculations.
Research DNA yielded results in the mummy of the “Younger Lady” Valley of the Kings could be the Tutancamón mother. But whether it is or not of Nefertiti, the wife of King Akhenaten, is an open question.
The Egyptian Museum in Berlin, which since 1920 has the sculpture of your bust, not to particpate in speculation . “Just be hundred percent sure when we find a sarcophagus bearing the name of Nefertiti and even in that case the body could have been subsequently changed,” Zorn says the director. “Simply we lack specific inscriptions of the time on that issue.”
