STARTED THE THIRD RADAR SCANNING INSIDE THE TOMB OF KING TUTANKHAMON.

An Italian mission from the Polytechnic University of Turin started today (Thursday 1/02/2018) the third radar scanning inside the tomb of King Tutankhamun on the west bank of Luxor
The survey aims to detect the inconclusive results of two previous radar scanning conducted inside and outside the tomb as well as verifying if it conceals void spaces behind its western and northern walls.

Dr. Mohamed Ismail, Director of the Permanent Committes and Foreign Missions at the Ministry of Antiquities said that the current radar survey reflects the Ministry of Antiquities’ keenness on ensuing scientific credibility in accordance with the recommendation suggested at a conference held in 2016 at the Grand Egyptian Museum to discuss the different results from the two previous radar surveys.

He added that the survey will last for a week and then the radar readings will be then studied and analyzed in order to come up with detailed result.

Dr. Ismail asserted that the radar used in the scanning is a non-destructive state-of-the -art device.
