The nemes, a funerary headdress worn by the pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, falls behind the head and is tied up as a braid. The hieroglyphic writing on the back is a spell from the Book of the Dead that offers protection to Tutankhamun on his journey to the underworld."</p> <p>After almost a year of waiting, a team of specialists in archaeophysics at the Polytechnic of Turin has the green light to make some measurements of georadar inside the tomb of Tutankamón (KV62), in the Valley of the Kings. From today, February 1, until February 6, 2018, researchers have permission "to verify the presence of empty spaces or corridors hidden behind the walls of the funeral chamber of Tutankhamun", as reported yesterday by the Polytechnic of Turin. If the theory proposed by the English Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves is correct, the KV62 tomb would be part of a larger tomb that would house the mummy of Queen Nefertiti. Before the early and unexpected death of the child pharaoh, "the KV62 was reopened and enabled to include a new camera," says Reeves.</p> <p>Professor Franco Porcelli, who leads the research project, explained that three state-of-the-art radar systems will be used. With these modern non-destructive means "we can know the possible existence of hidden structures of archaeological relevance, adjacent to the tomb of Tutankhamun, with 99% reliability," says the Turin Polytechnic in a statement. One of the tasks will be to compare the measurements of georadar with the data obtained last May, by means of a non-invasive technique based on the three-dimensional mapping of the electrical resistivity of the subsoil around the tomb of Tutankhamun. The data obtained in May suggested the presence of suspicious cavities in the rock a few meters away from the KV62. The georadar measurements will help to understand if these suspicious cavities are real and if they are directly connected to the KV62.</p> <p><br></p> <h1>So what makes us think this? that in just a few days the story can be made bigger or even more strange! hahaha do not you think? super interesting what they will discover in 5 days ...</h1> <p><br></p> <p>FOLLOW ME IN: @desocrates</p> </html>
