(Zoe Roberts, 3rd Period) New clues in hunt for Nefertiti's tomb By: Slma Shelbayah

Summary: Egyptologists believe they have found a second chamber to King Tutankhamun's tomb. This comes after they released scans of the Valley of the Kings, archeologists believe the second chamber could house Nefertiti's long lost remains. This August archeologist Nicolas Reeves theorized that Nefertiti's remains were probably hidden away in a secret tomb somewhere. This theory prompted additional research into the Valley of the Kings and clues to her burial places. Researchers did a thermal scan of the tomb and found a vacant spot behind the primary chamber room. All this suggest that there is more to the tomb than suspected.

Analysis: It is always interesting when new information on mysteries that have been around for ages. It also brings about new ways of looking for clues in the future. As we expand our knowledge we expand our ways of learning and teaching. All of this amazes me. It makes me excited to watch and learn as more and more is discovered in regards to Nefertiti and her disappearance and death.
