Here's another update:

Could King Tut have hidden Nefertiti's secret chamber? · by Eric Knecht · December 7 ·
Chances are high that the tomb of Tutankhamen, ancient Egypt's boy-king, has passages to a hidden chamber, which may be the last resting place of the lost Queen Nefertiti, Egyptian officials say.

There is huge international interest in Nefertiti, who died in the 14th century B.C. and is thought to have been Tutankhamen's stepmother. Confirmation of her final resting place would be the most remarkable Egyptian archaeological find this century.

New evidence from recent radar imaging is to be sent to a team in Japan for analysis. The results are expected to be announced in a month.

"We said earlier there was a 60 percent chance there is something behind the walls. But now after the initial reading of the scans, we are saying it's 90 percent likely there is something behind the walls," Egyptian Antiquities Minister Mamdouh al-Damaty told reporters.

He said he expected to reach the other side of the tomb's wall within three months.

First, this tomb has been known for over 70 years; no one had noticed the other two openings during all this time -- which is weird, Howard Carter was very talented at spotting stuff; after Reeves found the apparent lines of the doors, using digital scans (not by going to the tomb), radar should have been used immediately; instead, infrared was used, which wasn't enough for the Gyppoes, so they then ordered radar, back in September, and now are "90%" sure? And they're saying it'll take three months? Get the **** out of the way! We've waited thousands of years for this!
