Possible secret chamber discovered in Tutankhamun's tomb─── 07:28 Sun, 29 Nov 2015
Scans in King Tutankhamun's tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings point to a hidden chamber.
This is according to the country's antiquities minister Mamduh al-Damati.
Al Jazeera reports the exploration inside King Tutankhamun's tomb in the valley near Luxor - the pharaonic capital in ancient times - began on Thursday.
The tests were spurred by a study by renowned British archaeologist Nicholas Reeves, who said Nefertiti's lost tomb may be hidden in an adjoining chamber.
Reeves, who toured the tomb with Damati in September, theorised that Tutankhamun, who died at the age of 19, may have been rushed into an outer chamber of what was originally Nefertiti's tomb.
Damati, in September, said he was convinced a hidden chamber may lie hidden behind King Tut's final resting place.
Nefertiti was known for her beauty and the subject of a famous 3,300-year-old bust.
