Egyptologist Dr Joyce Tyldesley has said the potential discovery of Queen Nefertiti's tomb would be "brilliant news". Dr Nicolas Reeves from Arizona University thinks that he may have found a secret doorway leading out of Tutankhamun's burial chamber which he believes leads to her secret tomb. Dr Tydlesley said if a mummy were discovered you would "never" unwrap it because it's a "very destructive" approach. She also added that the Queen "might well have been" the mother of the infamous Tutankhamun. This clip is originally from 5 live Breakfast on August 11 2015.
