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]
