Egyptian officials now say they are "90% sure" that there is a hidden chamber in King Tutankhamun's tomb. The Antiquities Ministry said it had carried out scans to gather more information about the theory. Archaeologist Nicholas Reeves believes Tutankhamun's remains may have been rushed into an outer chamber of what was originally Queen Nefertiti's tomb. The remains of Tutankhamun, who may have been her son, were found in 1922. He died 3,000 years ago aged 19. "Clearly it does look from the radar evidence as if the tomb continues, as I have predicted," Mr Reeves said at a press conference with the Egyptian Antiquities Minister Mamdouh al-Damati on Saturday, AFP reports.

The use of this modern radiology is fascinating to me. I have seen several TV programs on the Discovery, History and National Geographic channels where archeologists/forensic scientists use ground penetrating radar, MRI frequencies, and so on, in order to map out from the ground, and even from the air, various ancient sites/towns, ancient human bodies, and even specific building remains. They can even put some of this technological data onto the computer and recreate a scaled model of what something/someone would have looked like when it was originally constructed or was alive. The military also uses these types of technology to map out many places and positions - and can do so from the ground, sea, and air. I've also seen where this technology is also used for determining specific area-rich ores/oil by the mining industries. Amazing - simply amazing. It will be interesting to see what comes from this work done in Egypt. I hope this new technology will uncover some answers to their age-old questions. Thanks for posting! V/R, nwlivewire
HA HA HA You are too funny! Sometimes, it is in the mystery that remains which can propel/inspire a person to stay in the hunt.... nwlivewire
