Genetic archaeology zooms in on the origins of modern humans.
Many royal mummies from this period have been identified, either by modern scholars or 20th Dynasty priests who rescued some of them from the depredations of tomb robbers.
But we cannot always trust these identifications. The incomplete historical record is exacerbated by the fact that royal brothers and sisters, and even fathers and daughters, intermarried. Uncertainty abounds:
How was a particular pharaoh related to his successor?
Which of a pharaoh's wives was the mother of his heir?
There are also many unidentified mummies.
Could one of them be Hatshepsut or Akhenaten?
Were the two fetuses found in Tutankhamun's tomb carried by his wife Ankhensenpaaten?
Since 1993 microbiologist Scott Woodward has been analyzing DNA from the mummified remains of these pharaohs and queens, in cooperation with Nasry Iskander, chief curator of the royal mummies at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
You mean it thinks its zooming in on the origins of modern humans? So far, alot of the more controversial pronouncements are being proven wrong just a few years later. Reminds me of peking man and alot of other so called early humanoids, which have been proven fake at a later date.
