An undated photo released on June 27, 2007 by Discovery Channel
shows an X ray image of the mummy of Queen Hatshepsut at the Egyptian museum in
Cairo, Egypt. 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]
