Egyptologists refute British theory doubting King Tut’s mask
A British Egyptologist argues that the famous King Tut’s mask might not have belonged to the young ruler but rather to a woman, which could be Queen Nefertiti — a theory that was refuted by Egyptian Egyptologists and archaeologists.
CAIRO — British newspaper Express published July 16 an article quoting a passage from the book of “The Valley of Kings: The Egyptian Golden Age,” by English Egyptologist professor Joann Fletcher.
In a detailed account, Fletcher argues that the famed mask of Tutankhamun was originally made for another famous ruler, and it may have belonged to a woman, which was Queen Nefertiti.
