More Research Needed of Tutankhamun''s Tumb

Cairo - To determine whether there are really empty chambers behind the walls of the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun further investigations are necessary with the use of new technologies, confirmed Minister of Antiquities of Egypt, Khaled El Anani.

At the end on Sunday of three days of scientific discussions on the figure of baby pharaoh in Cairo, the minister said, once again, that right now they do not have final results of the survey with Penetrating Radar of the Land (PRL) carried out in two stages since last November 2015 to the Tutankhamun's tomb.

During the final day of the conference, participants discussed presentations by several experts, including British archaeologist Nicholas Reeves, whose hypothesis is that after the burial chamber of Tutankhamen must be that of Queen Nefertiti.

Meanwhile, the Japanese expert Hirokatsu Watanabe, who led the initial work with PRL, reaffirmed its conviction of the existence of hollow cavities, containing even metal parts.

Those assertions were the subject of acute and sustained aftershocks given to the fact that for purely technological reasons, its data, that Watanabe has kept hidden from the scientific community-may be affected by many variables, which would possibly make conclusions erroneous

In the conference was also informed that the data collected by the latest survey with PRL to the grave, held in early May sponsored by the National Geographic Society, which does not allow to arrive to any conclusions.

We will continue until we have some proof that there is nothing behind the walls of the tomb of Tutankhamun or, if there is something, then it would be the time to consider the next steps.

Given the repeated calls for possible advertisements that fail to occur, local Egyptologists consulted by Prensa Latina believe that future work will be done without media spreading until, eventually, complete reports are generated for both scientists and the public.
