During a press conference at the exhibition “Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaoh,” Zahi Hawass, suggested that an important new finding in the Valley of the Kings is imminent.
Dr. Hawass was in Atlanta to give a lecture at the Fox Theatre about new discoveries that he has made with a team of Egyptian archaeologists and to visit the exhibition that already is the most-visited exhibit ever at the civic center.
“For the first time, an Egyptian team of archaeologists has been making important and exciting discoveries,” he said. “Although explorers and archaeologists have been combing the Valley of Kings for centuries, not a single tomb has been found by an Egyptian.”
While stopping short of making an outright prediction, he suggested that his team would make the next big find – the tomb of Queen Nefertiti, who has assumed a legendary status as one of the world’s most beautiful women ever to have lived.
