The archaeological finds that could be unearthed in 2023 and would be ‘amazing’ according to scientists

On the basis of the archaeological discoveries so far disseminated, the media specialized in archeology have elaborated hypotheses on the finds that could take place in 2023.

There is a possibility that Nefertiti’s mummy will be discovered as archaeologists are performing DNA tests on an Egyptian tomb to see if any of the mummies match the remains of the ancient Egyptian queen.

It is also possible that more information about an underground city that flourished in Turkey about 2000 years ago.

The possible discovery of the mummy of Nefertiti

First found in modern times in 1817, the tomb “KV 21”, as Egyptologists call itit is located in the Valley of the Kings and contains two female mummies, according to the Thebes Mapping Project.

Currently, a team led by Zahi Hawass, Egypt’s former minister of antiquities, is re-examining the tomb and its mummies using DNA tests.

Hawass said the team is looking into the possibility that one of the mummies is Nefertiti. Although it is not known for sure whether scientists will find the remains of the ancient Egyptian queen, it is very likely that in 2023 we will have more news about this tomb and the mummies buried in it.

The underground cities of Turkey

In 2022, archaeologists discovered a 2,000-year-old underground city in Midyat (Turkey) where up to 70,000 people could have lived.

Remains of a Christian church and a Jewish synagogue have been foundand it is possible that the inhabitants of the underground city were trying to hide from the Roman Empire, which ruled the area and sometimes persecuted Christians and Jews.

An important detail is that only 5% of the city has been excavated so far . Investigations are found, so it is possible that in 2023 new discoveries will be made in this underground city.

Finds under railway tracks in the UK

In recent years, British archaeologists have found artifacts from the Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods during the construction of High Speed ​​Rail Line 2 (HS2), which will link London to the West Midlands.

This year alone, archaeologists have discovered several ancient sites, including the well-preserved remains of an Iron Age village which became a bustling Roman town in south Northamptonshire; a rich pagan cemetery dating from around the time of the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain in the 5th century AD; and an “exquisite” wooden figurine dating from early Roman Britain.

The first phase of the HS2 project is expected to open between 2029 and 2033, so there is still plenty of time to discover ancient treasures.
