The mummy which egyptologists have identified as Queen Hatshepsut
is displayed at the Egyptian museum in Cairo June 27, 2007. Egyptologists think
they have identified with certainty the mummy of Hatshepsut, the most famous
queen to rule ancient Egypt, found in a humble tomb in the Valley of the Kings,
an archaeologist said on Monday. Several egyptologists have speculated over the
years that one of the mummies was that of the queen, who ruled from between 1503
and 1482 BC -- at the height of ancient Egypt's power.
