Could Queen Nefertiti's Tomb Reveal Secrets From Egypt's Shadowy Past?
She was married to one of the most eccentric pharaohs. But after his death she may have reigned on her own––as a man. If researchers have found her tomb, what's inside could change Middle Eastern history.
Every time something is discovered in Egypt's Valley of the Kings, the whispers begin. Is it the queen? Has she finally been found? They're asking about Nefertiti, the legendary beauty who was married to one of ancient Egypt's strangest pharaohs.

Questions have inevitably arisen about possible links to Nefertiti, and whether archaeologists will peek behind the walls to find room after room filled with the dazzling grave goods of the long-lost queen.
