The couple was responsible for a religious revolution in Egypt; they only worshipped one god, Aten, rather than multiple gods. Some scholars think that Nefertiti ruled briefly as pharaoh after her Akhenaten\u2019s death and right before the accession of King Tutankhamun. Some also speculate that Tutankhamun was her son. While his remains were discovered in 1922, no trace of the famed queen has been found. But archaeologists have come up with a theory on where they might find her.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hiding In Plain Sight<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">British archaeologist, Nicholas Reeves, believes that Nefertiti may be hiding in the most obvious place: King Tutankhamun\u2019s tomb. The interesting theory stems from an analysis of high-resolution images published online last year by Factum Arte, a Madrid-based art restoration specialist who helped create a facsimile of King Tut&#8217;s burial chamber in Luxor. In the scans, Reeves spotted cracks in the walls that could lead to hidden doorways lay behind the walls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The implications are extraordinary, for, if digital appearance translates into physical reality, it seems we are now faced not merely with the prospect of a new, Tutankhamun-era storeroom to the west; to the north (there) appears to be signaled a continuation of tomb KV 62 (Tutankhamun&#8217;s tomb), and within these uncharted depths an earlier royal interment &#8212; that of Nefertiti herself<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,\u201d he says. \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have been testing the evidence ever since, looking for indications that what I thought I was seeing was, in fact, not there. \u00a0But the more I looked, the more information I found that I seemed to be looking at something pretty real<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8164\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8164\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8164\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/9457269_orig.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/9457269_orig.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/9457269_orig-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/9457269_orig-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/9457269_orig-85x57.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8164\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.asriran.com\/files\/fa\/news\/1394\/4\/23\/477150_767.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">{adinserter CNP5}<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An Ancient Mystery<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tutankhamun\u2019s resting place is one of the most intact Egyptian tomb ever found; nearly 2,000 objects were found and it took archaeologists nine years to catalogue them all. The tomb has always confused historians since it is much smaller than other Egyptian king\u2019s tombs. Dr. Reeves believes that this is because it was not built for a king but rather a queen &#8211; specifically Queen Nefertiti. He also thinks that upon Tutankhamun\u2019s young death at 17 years old, it was converted into his tomb.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8165\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8165\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-8165\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/f8f3f7b595049a3cdbc6c290fd50b352.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"700\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/f8f3f7b595049a3cdbc6c290fd50b352.jpg 523w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/f8f3f7b595049a3cdbc6c290fd50b352-448x300.jpg 448w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/f8f3f7b595049a3cdbc6c290fd50b352-85x57.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8165\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn2-b.examiner.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/image_content_width\/hash\/f8\/f3\/f8f3f7b595049a3cdbc6c290fd50b352.jpg?itok=_OI-r3-S\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Puzzle Is Not Solved Yet <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many are skeptical of Reeve\u2019s claim, but the new theory is exciting to think about.
