Very exciting news! I have always been fascinated with ancient Egypt and mummies. Archaeologists(3/16/16) say radar scans show "90%" chance of two hidden chambers in Tut's Tomb! Hopefully, more information will be announced in the coming weeks. It is being called the possible "Discovery of the Century". There is talk that the mummy of Queen Nefertiti(a wife of King Tut's father) and her treasures MAY be hidden in these chambers!
Wow...I am so excited about the prospects of this discovery!
