DNA tests seem to identify Queen Hatshepsut Mummy

Preliminary results from DNA tests carried out on a mummy believed to be Queen Hatshepsut is expected to support the claim by Egyptian authorities that the remains are indeed those of Egypt’s most powerful female ruler. Dr Angelique Corthals, a biomedical Egyptologist at the University of Manchester (UK), says that DNA tests she helped carry out with colleagues at the National Research Centre in Cairo have promising preliminary results suggesting the identity of the queen.
