More Evidence Supports Claim Hidden Chamber in Tutankhamun Tomb Contains Another Burial

Last month, the Tourism Minister of Egypt Hisham Zaazou appeared to have slipped up during a visit to Spain when he said the hidden chamber being investigated in Tutankhamun’s tomb is “full of treasures”, ahead of official press announcements due to take place in April.  While some questioned the motives and accuracy of such sensational claims, a new press conference in Egypt has announced that new scans show that metal and/or organic material lie within the hidden chamber, providing support for Zaazou’s claim and evidence of another burial within the tomb.

“We do not know if the burial chamber is Nefertiti or another woman, but it is full of treasures,” Zaazou had said [ABC] … “It will be a ‘Big Bang’, the discovery of the 21st Century”.

According to Discovery News, Antiquities Minister Mamdouh al-Damaty told a press conference that in latest studies, doors were detected, which can be seen as entrances to the cavities identified in Tutankhamun’s tomb, and that metal and organic material revealed by scans strongly suggests the presence of another burial.

Investigations in Tutankhamun’s Tomb

The Ministry of Antiquities in Egypt launched high-tech analyses within the boy king’s tomb on November 4 after initial infrared scans of the walls of Tutankhamun’s tomb detected an area of greater heat, pointing to the presence of a hidden chamber.
