People often ask me, ‘well, it’s not really as exciting as Indiana Jones, now is it?’
I reply, ‘to an archaeologist, yes, it certainly is!’

Female Mummy KV60-A CT Scan - Hatshepsut
Female Mummy KV60-A CT Scan - Hatshepsut

"To our delight, KV60-A, the obese mummy from the Valley of the Kings, had an empty socket in her jaw - Galal El-Behri, a dentist from Cairo University, was able to determine that the socket was a perfect fit for the tooth in the box! As early as 1966, Egyptologist Elizabeth Thomas had suggested that KV60-A might be the mummy of the great female pharaoh. Now, modern forensic science was finally able to prove that this idea was true!"
