Egypt says a search for the resting
place of the pharaonic Queen Nefertiti has revealed possible "organic
material" inside empty spaces behind two walls in the tomb of
Tutankhamun.
The antiquities minister said radar scans carried out in November pointed to "different things behind the walls".
A more advanced scan will be conducted later this month to ascertain whether the empty spaces are in fact chambers.
A British Egyptologist believes Nefertiti was buried there.
She ruled in the 14th Century BC, and may have been Tutankhamun's mother.
His tomb was discovered in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter.
