Hatshepsut holding fyi

Egyptian archeologists say they have definitively identified the mummy of Hatshepsut, the only woman to rule ancient Egypt while the kingdom was at the height of its wealth and power.

The mummy was discovered more than a century ago in a humble tomb in the famed Valley of the Kings, but suspicion that it was the female pharaoh was hard to prove because of the lack of evidence directly linking it to Hatshepsut.

New CT scans of the mummy and its internal organs confirm its identity, said Zahi Hawass, Egypt's chief archeologist.
