End of the mystery: there are no secret chambers in the tomb of Tutankhamun
The discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, of the XVIII dynasty, astonished the whole world in 1922, because it was the first burial of a pharaoh that was discovered intact, since all the others had been plundered to a greater or lesser extent centuries ago .
In 2015, British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves suggested that Queen Nefertiti's tomb could be hidden behind the north and west walls of Tutankhamun's burial chamber.
A theory that aroused a massive interest and that was going to be backed by the authorities but later they distanced themselves and ended up rejecting it.
To confirm this hypothesis, two studies have been carried out, one by a Japanese team and another by the US, but both scans have provided inconclusive results, according to the Egyptian Antiquities Ministry, which also reported that the latest information shows that the tomb does not hide secrets of that type.
That is, in the third study, the team of scientists of the Polytechnic University of Turin, led by Dr. Francesco Porcelli, used a radar of great precision that manages to explore the rock.
The evidence shows that there are no discontinuities in the wall of the tomb, since the transition from natural rock to the ashlars that make up the walls of the grave has been identified.
There is also no evidence of the existence of jambs or lintels of doors that could indicate the existence of walls of a funeral chamber or empty areas hidden behind the frescoes that adorn the walls of the tomb.
Porcelli put an end to the expectations of finding something new there:
"Our work conclusively shows that there are no hidden chambers or corridors adjacent to the tomb of Tutankhamun"
