Could King Tut’s Tomb Be Hiding an Ancient Queen?
When archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922, he found over six hundred artifacts buried alongside the ancient Egyptian ruler. But now it seems that both the pharaoh and his treasure may have been squatting in someone else’s burial. In 2015, Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves suggested that Tutankhamun’s tomb might be bigger than it appears to be.
