Egypt to Test Fetuses for Tutankhamun Family Tree - Reuters
Date:
August 6, 2008 (All day) Egyptian scientists are doing DNA tests on stillborn children found in the tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun in the hope of identifying their mother and grandmother, who may be the powerful queen Nefertiti, Egypt's chief archaeologist said on Wednesday.
British archaeologist Howard Carter found the mummified fetuses when he discovered Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922.
