Eldamaty and Reeves visit three tombs in Luxor
-------------------------------
Within the framework of the initial examination works
performed at King Tut Ankh Amun's Tomb in Luxor to prove the recent hypothesis
of the burial place of Qween Nefertity, Both Dr. Mamdouh Eldamaty and the
British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves visited three tombs in Luxor; King
Amenhotep (KV 35), King Horemhab (KV 57) and (KV 55) Tombs.
Eldamaty clarified that the aim behind those visits was
for the scientific committee that accompanied them to examine and study their
artistic and architectural elements and compare them to those of King Tut Ankh
Amun's Tomb.
Eldamaty said that after terminating the initial
examination works, there is a great possibility (70%) that there are additional
chambers lying behind one of Tut Ankh Amun Tomb's walls and perhaps one of them
embraces the burial of Queen Nefertity.
Eldamaty pointed out that the next step is to present the
file to the permanent committee of the Ancient Egyptian Antiquities to study
and determine the future work plan as well as verifying the general
specifications of the radar sets that will be used in the examination process,
therefore deciding the appropriate methods to safely reach the new chambers.
It was also agreed that Reeves is to return once again to
Egypt in mid November to start the actual examination of the tomb after getting
all the necessary required approvals.
