Discussions to start searching for Nefertiti's tomb

Author: Al-Masry Al-Youm

British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves will present his theory on Queen Nefertiti's tomb during a talk on Monday. He believes the queen rests in a back chamber within King Tutankhamun's tomb.

 

"We are giving Reeves a chance to prove his theory," said Antiquities Minister Mamdouh al-Damaty. "We support all serious attempts for new archaeological discoveries."

 

He said he will hold a press conference in October to brief the public on the results of the preliminary examination of the tomb.
