SECRET EGYPTIAN TOMBS STRIKE NOTE IN MONAS NOVELS 3 THE DAUGHTERS OF DAY

If you take a look at The Daughters of Day, you will see that amongst all the Nile River and politics playing, Monas and Nargess encounter strange mystical workings in tombs that unite ancient Egypt with contemporary events.
In a similar vein, in 1922, archaeologists cracked into King Tutankhamun’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings, an excavation that would earn him his role as mascot of ancient Egypt. Last weekend, an international ensemble of researchers conducted a thorough bout of radar scanning in the late King’s tomb, and what they’ve stumbled upon may change what we have pieced together about this famous pharaoh’s life.
The team began their scans on Thursday evening after the tourists had left and the sun had begun to set. After three days of radar scanning, the final results suggested that there may be more passageways residing within the depths of the tomb. An analysis of the scans showed that there is at least two large, unopened corridors that are accessible only by well-hidden doorways; chambers in this well known tomb that have remained sealed for over 3,000 years.
To some, this finding comes as no surprise. Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves has believed for some time that the resting place of Tutankhamun was nothing more than a side chamber within the tomb of Queen Nefertiti, Tut’s mother-in-law and also a supposed pharaoh of Egypt. Having conducted a thorough investigation of the relics found within the tomb, Reeves believes that roughly 80 percent of them were made specifically for a woman. In fact, he has claimed that the iconic mask of King Tut was originally sculpted for Queen Nefertiti’s face and was then modified for Tut’s burial.
“Everything is adding up,” Reeves told National Geographic, “The tomb is not giving up its secrets easily. But it is giving them up, bit by bit. It’s another result. And nothing is contradicting the basic direction of the theory.
“When I first published my paper I think that colleagues around the world thought I was crazy,” he said. “But I think it has changed. I think people believe that even if the tomb of Nefertiti isn’t behind the wall, they believe that something else is there.”
There is still much to figure out before any archaeological tampering will be authorized. Mamdouh el-Damaty, the Antiquity minister of Egypt, made a statement that the research shall remain on hold as the scan results are subjected to a thorough, month-long analysis in Japan.
Tutankhamun and his family are said to have ruled Egypt during a period of much political turmoil. Legend tells that their rule was ended by Horemheb, one of Tutankhamun’s top generals, who had many of the written records that documented the era destroyed. Perhaps this discovery may clear up some of the long lived mystery as to how this time period of ancient Egypt actually played out.
