Nefertiti, in search of the lost tomb

Unlike the other pharaohs of the 18th Dynasty, his tomb has never been found. Its discovery would be an event of global significance, even greater than that of Tutankhamun, his son-in-law. For decades, Egyptologists worldwide have been searching for it, and a recent discovery has divided the scientific community: Tutankhamun’s tomb may conceal a secret entrance leading to another, undisturbed burial chamber. Could this be the final resting place of Nefertiti?
