Could King Tut's wife be buried in this newly discovered tomb?
The archaeologists eventually plan to excavate the new tomb, which is located near the tomb of the pharaoh Ay (1327-1323 B.C.) in Egypt's Valley of the Kings, Hawass told Live Science.
"The ancient Egyptians usually did four or five foundation deposits whenever they started a tomb's construction," Hawass said. Additionally, "the radar did detect a substructure that could be the entrance of a tomb."
As for whose remains were buried there, Hawass said the tomb could belong to Ankhesenamun, who was the wife of Tutankhamun (reign 1336-1327 B.C.). Ankhesenamun married Ay after King Tut died, so it's possible that her tomb is located near Ay's, Hawass said.
In my book - Eye of the Pharaoh - the tomb of Ankhesenamon was found by using light from the Ring of EM7, found in Tut's original tomb (Ay's tomb, KV23/WV23) that shows its location. Dr. Zahi Hawass read that book in 2013 (via Internet) after I tried to get him to read it on social media. - M7 2017.
