Speaking to the Times, he said that Tutankhamun's burial site was merely an antechamber of the Queen's tomb and was used at the last minute when the young king died unexpectedly. According to Reeves, who has been developing his theory since 2014, radar scans show traces of two doorways that were mysteriously sealed off by tomb builders. He believes one of these could connect to Nefertiti's tomb. "The greatest archaeological discovery in the world has got more to give — potentially something far more impressive than Tutankhamun's burial," he said. "I'm suggesting that the most famous woman in the ancient world is also buried there." Another clue involves two cartouches - ovals with a pharaoh's name in hieroglyphs - painted on the northern wall of Tutankhamun's burial chamber. According to Reeves, they were altered to show Tutankhamun overseeing his stepmother's burial rites and not of Ay, the pharaoh proceeding Tutankhamun. To Reeves, this means the chamber where the pharaoh lays is actually Nefertiti's resting place. Reeves suggests Tutankhamun's entourage was caught completely off guard when he suddenly died aged 19 and buried him in Nefertiti's tomb instead of building a new one, which would have taken time. Instead, he was put in an improvised burial){kind=link}
