Egypt
The tomb where the remains of Egyptian legendary beauty Queen Nefertiti were laid still remains a mystery.
Authorities say more analysis on Tutankhamun’s tomb could determine whether the resting place also contains her remains.
According to Egypt’s Antiquities Minister, Khaled El-Anany, there is a 90 percent chance of two hidden chambers in the mausoleum, possibly containing organic material.
“As a scientist I need to be very careful before announcing the results we find or didn’t find. I hope we find something but we cannot be sure at the moment. According to this last scan, there might be a chamber,” he said.

Recent studies have proposed that the queen’s tomb could be in a secret chamber adjoining Tutankhamun’s final resting place and that also one door of his tomb could conceal Nefertiti’s burial place.
Results from the ongoing new radar tests at the site are expected this Friday.
