The mummy of Nefertiti has yet to be discovered. But that could soon change. According to renowned British archaeologist Nicholas Reeves, the tomb of Nefertiti could be located in an undiscovered chamber within Tutankhamun’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor.
Has the Mystery of Tutankhamun’s Tomb Been Solved?
Dr. Reeves speculates that the legendary pharaoh Tutankhamun, who died at the age of 19, was buried in the outer chamber of Queen Nefertiti’s original tomb.
The researcher believes that the tomb itself was designed to hide the mummy of a queen. Tombs for kings were constructed differently, according to Dr. Reeves. The walls could potentially conceal both mummies, but this has not been proven yet.
Did the workers live in the hollowed chambers?
It is widely accepted today that construction of the individual pyramids lasted for decades or even centuries. Naturally, building the pyramids required a lot of effort.
