CAIRO —

Radar scans of King Tut's tomb have revealed two empty spaces on the north and east chambers of the pharaonic mausoleum, Egypt's antiquities ministry said Thursday.

Antiquities Minister Mamdouh al-Damaty told a press conference that metal and organic masses were revealed by the scans, signaling that the rooms could possibly contain funerary objects.

"It could be the chamber of a king or queen," he told NBC News. King

Tutankhamun, often dubbed the boy king, was an Egyptian pharaoh who rose to power in 1,333 B.C. at the tender age of 10. His mother was Queen Nefertiti and his father was Akhenaten.

One prominent Egyptologist has theorized that Queen Nefertiti could be buried in the walls of the 3,300-year-old pharaonic mausoleum.

Damaty said further tests will be done on March 31 to discover more about the newly-discovered spaces.

have they not actually been entered into yet? just as it says "radar scans"
humans havent actually been in these tombs yet?

I assume they are talkin about "voids" within the walls...
