Mummy of Egyptian Queen Hatshepsut found?


Hatshepsut was the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of ancient Egypt. She is considered by many historians to have been the most powerful and successful woman in ancient Egypt.

The attempt failed as evidence of her reign survived but the attempted historical revisionism of Thutmose III may have inspired Hatshepsut' s supporters to move her mummy to a safer location.

Really we found her... Mystery mummy is lost female pharoah. She use to dress like a man and wearing a false beard. But when her rule ended, all traces of her mysteriously disappeared, including her mummy. Reason behind it as said that her stepson (Thutmose III) damage all trace after her death. Statues and monuments to her were destroyed and she was written out of the official histories.

Hatshepsut was behind of this Discovered in 1903 in the Valley of the Kings, the mummy was left on site until two months ago, when it was brought to the Cairo Museum for testing, Egypt's antiquities chief Zahi Hawass said. DNA bone samples taken from the mummy's pelvic bone and femur are being compared with the mummy of Queen Hatshepsut's grandmother, Amos Nefreteri, said molecular geneticist Yehia Zakaria Gad, who was part of Hawass' team."

Hatshepsut is really the one, that is good for the world of History to add her and give her due back as adding her in our world history page.
