Tutankhamun's tomb might be secretly connected to Queen Nefertiti's hidden chamber

The most well-known of all, Tutankhamun aka King Tut has many secrets buried inside his tomb. Even after uncovering the tomb so many years earlier, there is information that is still missing about the life of not only King Tut but also his stepmother, Queen Nefertiti.

Hidden secrets undiscovered

The Pharaoh of ancient Egypt was discovered in 1922 inside his fully intact, untouched tomb with valuable artefacts and treasure. This gave scientists an opportunity to study the mummifying process and the background of Egyptian culture.

Although the tomb was discovered a century ago, it has yet to reveal many hidden secrets. According to The Guardian, Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves disclosed that the discovery of hidden hieroglyphics in the tomb of the Pharaoh might have been located just beside Queen Nefertiti's tomb making both the tombs connected.

Revealing hieroglyphics

The discovered hieroglyphics showed king Tut as the king of the modern world being entombed by his successor Ay. In contrast, there were also cartouches that represented Queen Nefertiti being buried by Tutankhamun. As per Washington Examiner, the discovered evidence supports the previously proposed theory that Tutankhamun's tomb is situated somewhere outside the tomb of Queen Nefertiti.

The popular queen of ancient Egypt still remains hidden, however, the small size of Tutankhamun's tomb has confused the archaeologists, considering he was the most popular king of his time. This scenario paves the way for the theory that the tomb size of the Pharaoh is just a façade that’s hiding a much larger treasure somewhere around it.
