Sad if true: Egypt ‘suppressing truth’ over hidden chambers in Tutankhamun’s tomb: The results of a second scan of Tutankhamun’s tomb in a search for hidden chambers and the possible burial site of Queen Nefertiti conducted by National Geographic have yet to be disclosed by the Antiquities Ministry, Julian Borger reported for the Guardian on Thursday. Scientists and National Geographic are prevented from discussing the results due to non-disclosure agreements. Borger, however, refers to the previous comment of one of the scientists who worked on the second scan, who had earlier said: “If we had a void, [indicating a hidden chamber] we should have a strong reflection… But it just doesn’t exist.” An unnamed scientist is quoted as saying “My understanding is that the Egyptians are in a state of denial about this… When you’re in the middle of a situation in which people are being purged because of their position on this, then scientists should back off and let the politics take its course. We have left the realm of science.”
