The CT scan that connected
the tooth to the mummy |
People think its unclear whether Hatshepsut was forced from the throne and murdered. Why would you murder a Queen?? And how would it be unclear if she was murdered or not??? Another theory was that she died of natural causes. Obviously people think Thutmose III killed her because he disliked his "aunt", but evidence of a mummified liver :-p found in Deir el-Bahri also shows that she had a proper mummification so if Thutmose III had wanted to kill her he would have prevented her mummification. Archaeologists also discovered of all things a tooth in the same box they found the mummified liver (ewwwwww!!!!) during some sort of CT scan. Then they matched the tooth to a mummy that they found in Hatshepsut's childhood nurse, Sitre, tomb.
