Nefertiti mystery: Egypt approves radar tests on Tutankhamun tomb

Egypt has given the go-ahead for radar to be used to test a theory that Queen Nefertiti's crypt may be hidden in King Tutankhamun's tomb, an official said.

Nefertiti 

This inscription dated 'Regnal Year 16, month 3 of Akhet, day 15' of Akhenaten's reign was discovered in 2012 in a limestone quarry at Dayr Abu Hinnis, just north of Dayr al-Barsh, north of Amarna.
The inscription mentions the presence of the "Great Royal Wife, His Beloved, Mistress of the Two Lands, Neferneferuaten Nefertiti" and "a building project in Amarna" under the authority of the king's scribe Penthu.
