RESULTS OF THE DIGITAL RADAR SCANS AT KING TUT'S TOMB

The 10 hours works of the Egyptian American teamwork at King Tutanckhamun’s Tomb (‪#‎KV62‬) in Luxor have been terminated a while ago.
The teamwork assured that the preliminary results reached so far do not contradict with the results of the (Japanese) previous radar scans. Radar experts added that 40 scans have been performed on multiple levels (up to 5 levels) using two radar antennas (400 MHZ & 900 MHZ) that allow more penetration (up to 4m.) and higher resolution. The team also emphasized that the raw data quality is excellent, and anomalies were detected but more will come in the near time.
Another radar will be made at the end of April from the top of the tomb from outside and results will be announced in an international press conference next May.
The Teamwork includes Dr. Khaled Al Anany, Minister of Antiquities, Dr. Mamdouh Eldamaty Antiquities former Minister, Nicholas Reeves Egyptologist – Egyptian Expedition – University of Arizona, Eric Berkenpas Electrical Engineer, GPR Specialist – National Geographic, Alan Turchik Mechanical Engineer, GPR Specialist – National Geographic, Dr. Yasser Elshayeb Rock Mechanics – Cairo University, Dr. Mahmoud Afify, Head of the Ancient Egyptian Sector(MA), Eng.
