From Express.co.uk:
Dr Hawass is on the trail of Queen Nefertiti, the step-mother of famous pharaoh Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings – the same location Howard Carter found KV62 in 1922. Nefertiti, who was married to the Boy King’s father – Akhenaten – died in 1331BC, but her tomb has never been discovered. However, Dr Hawass told Express.co.uk exclusively that things are starting to heat up, as he probes an area near Amenhotep III’s tomb, WV22 that he believes was used to bury ancient royals.
He said “I’m working in the Valley of the Kings, where I’m hoping to discover the tomb of Nefertiti and many more in the East Valley in the coming weeks.
“Also [I should find] all the Queens of the 18th Dynasty, sons and daughters of the Kings. They are all buried in this valley and I am still searching.” (Read more.)
