The Mummy of Hatshepsut was found by Howard Carter in KV60, in the Valley of the Kings. While assembling all unidentified mummies with their right arms placed across their chests a royal posture for the Egyptian Mummy Project, some were studied with a CT-scan machine.聽
At the same time a canopic box from the Deir el-Bahri cachette that was inscribed for Hatshepsut and contained her liver was also scanned. There was also a tooth inside, a molar with a root; and when examined it was found that it fitted exactly into the mouth of one of the royal women.聽
After analysis of Hatshepsut鈥檚 mummy, it was concluded that she had died at about the age of fifty, that she had been obese, and that she had diabetes and cancer. The box that contained the tooth is also on display near the mummy.
Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo.

Newspaper Reading (1855). Reinhard Sebastian Zimmermann (German, 1815-1893). Oil on canvas.
A young woman reads a newspaper, perhaps to her father and dog, in a nicely appointed interior. The man holds what may be a snuff box. Both man and dog are very attentive to the news being read. Books sit on the desk to the rear.
