Radar sensing three years ago suggests that there is space.
In fact, there has also been speculation that the 'secret room' could be the tomb of Queen Nefretiti, the adoptive mother of King Tutankhmun.
But now, after a thorough investigation, it is certain that there is no hidden space.
In-depth study of the possibility of hidden space was conducted by researchers at the Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy, but no evidence was found.
"Studies have shown no room or indication of any relics or frames of the door, which contradict the previous theory with the assumption of the existence of an alley or space adjoining or in the meal of King Tutankhamun," as written in Mostafa Waziri's statement, the General Secretary of the Archdiocese Supreme Council Egypt.
Queen Nefertiti passed away in the 14th century BC which is Tutankhamun's foster mother and his tomb findings are clearly a major breakthrough in the field of archeology.
The sculpture of his face-which perpetuates his grand beauty-is about 3,300 years old now exhibited in a season in Berlin, Germany, but his grave is unknown.
In 2015, the Egyptian Archeology Ministry had stated that '90% chance' is something behind Tutankhamun's tomb wall based on early radar sensing.
