Working with a team of Egyptians and local tribesmen, can the self-taught archaeologist prove the experts wrong? If she is right, Martinez will have solved one of Egyptology's greatest mysteries and established herself as one of the most important archaeologist in history. But will her theory lead her to the lost tomb? "I look around where all the archaeologists have excavated, and I immediately knew they were searching in wrong places." Instead, Martinez went searching at a temple complex dating from the time of Cleopatra and dedicated to the ancient Egyptian god Osiris and his wife the goddess Isis.
Martinez studied ancient Roman texts and investigated 21 sites where Cleopatra could be buried, but only one matched her theory. But Martinez believes Cleopatra had other plans for her body. Scholars have long believed that Cleopatra was buried in the ancient city of Alexandria which sank into the Mediterranean more than a thousand years ago. "I don't think 100% as an archaeologist, because my first training is as a criminal lawyer, so I took Cleopatra as a case," says Martinez. Her tomb in the Valley of the Kings has never been found.Drawing upon her 20 years as a courtroom attorney, Martinez has used that experience to turn detective and reopen the case of Cleopatra's death. “Clearly there is something on the other side of the north wall of the burial chamber.”Īccording to Nature, “some Egyptologists believe that immediately before Tut’s reign in the 14th century BC, Nefertiti, whose daughter was married to Tut, briefly ruled as pharaoh. The findings are “tremendously exciting,” Ray Johnson, an Egyptologist at the University of Chicago’s Oriental Institute in Luxor, Egypt, told Nature. They report they have identified a previously unknown corridor-like space a few meters from the burial chamber.” Researchers, “led by archaeologist Mamdouh Eldamaty, a former Egyptian minister of antiquities, (who) used ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to scan the area immediately around Tutankhamun’s tomb and gave an exclusive glimpse of the findings to Nature Magazine. Has Nefertiti’s final resting place finally been found?Ī recent radar survey of King Tut’s tomb has revealed evidence of secret chambers - and researchers believe the rooms could be the lost tomb of Egyptian queen Nefertiti.
