Related: About this forumTomb of Nefertiti, Egypt's mysterious ancient queen, may have been found
Hidden doorways in the ancient Egyptian tomb of King Tutankhamun may lead to the long-lost resting place of Queen Nefertiti, a scientist has claimed.
British archaeologist Dr Nicholas Reeves, based at the University of Arizona, made the claim after studying high-resolution scans of the walls of King Tutankhamuns burial chamber in the Valley of the Kings, near Luxor.
The scans are said to reveal two hidden entrances behind the painted plaster.
One doorway appeared to lead to a store room and the other a continuation of Tutankhamuns burial chamber. Dr Reeves believes the second door may open into the tomb of Nefertiti.
If he is right, a chamber of treasures more magnificent even than the tomb of Tutankhamun awaits discovery.
