- The assertion features in the new documentary The Man with the Hat and in comments reported by Live Science and other outlets.
- He cites years of fieldwork in the area, including earlier discoveries designated KV65 and KV66.
- A 2025 Hawass-led dig uncovered a large pink granite “false door” tied to a previously unknown prince, Userefre.
- No concrete evidence has been presented for Nefertiti’s tomb, and a 2022 suggestion linking a mummy to her was not substantiated.
