Queen Hatshepsut

A 3,500 year old corpse has now surfaced in Egypt. It has been identified as the most 'powerful queen' in Egypt: Queen Hatshepsut. Scientists are taking it slow to confirm that this is the Pharaoh indeed. They are still analyzing DNA and also, trying to figure out what caused her death like they did with King Tut. This mummy is put in the Egyptian museum's royal mummy room. They have been able to identify that this is the body of Queen Hatshepsut . The information that they have concluded so far has been based on the CT scans that they did. The scans showed many similarities with the mummy and pictures like a tooth gap. Some assumptions were based on her genetic makeup. Her royal relatives had a skin disease which she also had. They compared her to her grandmother. The scientists in Egypt are trying their best to prove with DNA samples that this is indeed is Hatshepsut. Scientists are using her relatives, CT scans, and DNA results to make this decision final.
