Since the post is still up, perhaps it's okay to make a post about it before it gets moved to a different thread . . . .
Speaking of Nefertiti, archaeologists
think that the tomb of Nefertiti
may have been found. This is really big news.
Nerfertiti was the wife of a relatively minor, but very famous, pharaoh named Tutankhamen. Perhaps you've heard of him.ha His tomb was located and excavated in the early 1900's (if memory serves me correctly), by a fellow by the name of Howard Carter. However, the location of Nefertiti's tomb has been/was one of the great mysteries remaining in Egyptology.
Well, some researcher, maybe an archaeologist himself (I don't remember), was working, or doing some looking around, in the tomb of Tutankhamen and noticed some unusual cracks in a wall. They appeared to him, at least, to be the signs of a hidden, sealed entrance to another tomb.
The speculation is that
if it is another tomb it
might be Nefertiti's! Archaeologists have long wondered why the tomb of Tutankhamen was small (even though he died at a young age and there wasn't much time to build his tomb). And with the tomb being adjacent to Tutankhamen's, it would make great sense.
The article that I read about this said that it would be
years (I've forgotten how many, but a lot) before the truth could be determined. I don't remember the article saying or indicating why it would take so long.
