(MENAFN) King Tutankhamun's tomb has been scanned by Archaeologists in Egypt in the southern city of Luxor, where two hidden chambers along with possible organic material are believed to be tucked away.
The Egyptian antiquities ministry will carry out the scans over the course of a week, reported AP.
Preliminary scans of the tomb in 2016 first revealed that there could be secret rooms behind the pharaoh's burial chamber, but the 2016 scans and later ones were inconclusive.
Egyptologists say that the tomb of King Tutankhamun's mother, queen Nefertiti, who played a major role in 14th century BCE Egypt, could be in a secret adjoining chamber.
