Abstract

The possibility of secret chambers in the tomb of Tutankhamun, one of which could be the burial chamber of Nefertiti, was proposed in 2015 by Nicholas Reeves. He published a work in which he used images from high definition laser scans of the walls of the tomb, given by the site of Factum Arte. Reeves argued that in these images it is possible to see the “ghosts” of two hitherto unrecognized doorways. In fact, he is giving in his article - The Burial of Nefertiti? Amarna Royal Tombs Project Occasional Paper N1 - some processed images without discussing the method for processing them. Here, we use the images of the West- and North walls from Factum Arte and apply GIMP and ImageJ for processing them, to see if we obtain the same results given by Reeves.
