In the ongoing quest to unlock the secrets of ancient Egypt’s royal lineage, speculation has intensified regarding the possible existence of a hidden doorway within King Tutankhamun’s burial chamber leading to the long-lost tomb of Queen Neferтιтi.

Neferтιтi, renowned for her beauty and influence during the reign of Akhenaten, remains one of ancient Egypt’s most iconic figures. Despite extensive searches and excavations, her final resting place has remained elusive, shrouded in mystery and intrigue.

The door is believed to be located between the tomb’s north and eastern walls, with the eastern wall consтιтuting as a false wall. However, conflicting surveys conducted since 2015 have been unable to prove whether anything is behind the wall.

“While those reliant upon automated filtering to remove extraneous ‘noise’ have declared that they see nothing in their results, others, processing the data in a more considered manner, perceive the north wall’s eastern half to indeed be construction rather than bedrock,” Reeves added.

Archaeologists have been puzzled by Tutankhamun’s tomb, which was considered small for an important pharaoh, according to Reeves. However, Tut died unexpectedly at the age of 19, in 1324 B.C., which meant that he needed to be buried quickly. The tomb was discovered a century ago by British archaeologist Howard Carter.
