The face of the mummy of Queen Hatshepsut is displayed at the Egyptian museum
in Cairo, Egypt in this June 27, 2007 handout photo. 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. [Reuters]
