Researchers Scanned a Royal Burial Mask — And Found It Belonged to a Woman

in this video, we talk about the hidden clues suggesting that Tutankhamun’s famous golden mask may not have been made for him at all, including its pierced ears, two-part construction, altered cartouches, and possible connection to the female pharaoh Neferneferuaten, widely believed to have been Nefertiti. We also discussed how burial objects from KV62 may have been repurposed, why Neferneferuaten’s own tomb remains unknown, the unresolved possibility of a hidden chamber beneath Tutankhamun’s tomb, and a striking parallel from Mycenae, where modern DNA analysis revealed that a woman once assumed to be a royal’s wife was actually a noble ruler in her own right.
