 In the tomb of Tutankhamun have found at least two hidden rooms, in which there are metal objects and objects “organic.” This was announced by Minister for ancient Egypt Mamdoh Eldamati, adding that the facilities identified by a radar scan of the tomb.

He said that the accuracy of the conclusions drawn on the basis scan is 90%, reports the BBC. Repeated radar scientists will work at the end of March 2016.

According to the assumptions of archaeologists, in secret rooms may be the remains of the ancient Egyptian queen Nefertiti, who took the throne in the ancient Egyptian 1351-1334 years BC. As the wife of Pharaoh Amenhotep, it comes stepmother Tutankhamun.

Tutankhamun died suddenly at age 19 and was buried in front of the tomb, which was originally intended for Nefertiti. With such an assumption was made by British archaeologist Nicholas Reeves. In 2015, scientists noticed

the photographs of frescoes in the tomb of Tutankhamun traces of two doorways, hidden under a thin layer of plaster. It was then decided to conduct a scan space of the tomb opened in 1922.
