Infrared scans of the tomb establish a hidden chamber(s) exist from the Burial Chamber.
Now who is in it?
Ankhesenamon?
King Ay?
Nakhtmin?
or 14 other mummies?
Why are they there?
Did a young psychopathic Tutankhamon murder these people and had them walled up in the tomb he was later interred into? The image of "King Ay with Tut's face" is a clue. Did Tut impersonate Ay as King Ay -- still married to Ankhesenamon as Pharaoh of Egypt (Why would Ay marry Ankhesenamon if he was already married?) - to oversee the issue with the Hittites? Did Tut murder Ay and his son/heir Nakhtmin and had them hidden there after the letters to the Hittites were conveyed to Ay to deliver to the Hittites from Ankhesenamon?

Questions:
If Queen Nefertiti wrote letters to the Hittites, why would she become Pharaoh on her own? (Reeves theory). If Queen Ankhesenamon wrote letters to the Hittites, asking them for a Prince to marry (in place of a servant - Ay) why wait until after Tut was already dead? A New Pharaoh would have been crowned on the same day as Tut died. No waiting period existed. So perhaps Ankhesenamon wrote while Tut was still living -- suspecting an affair --- and Ay was conspiring to become Pharaoh -- so she gave the letters to Ay to give to the Hittites and Tut discovered this plot, and had him killed. Tut then impersonates Ay as King Ay on the burial chamber of his tomb, after Ay is interred there along with Ankhesenamon after she died within the 4 years of King Ay's/Tut's 2nd reign. So the real Ay was never king for long. Ancient Egyptian Postal Service took weeks or months to send and receive, and copies of letters would have been created for both sides of communication. This is too long to wait for another King to be crowned, indicating Tut was still living at the time the letters were circulating.
