Follow a team of forensic experts and archaeologists as they uncover one of Egypt's greatest mysteries – Hatshepsut, the most powerful female Pharoah.In what is being called the most important find in Egypt's Valley of the Kings since the discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb, Dr. Zahi Hawass and a team of top forensic experts and archaeologists exclusively reveal archaeological, forensic and scientific evidence identifying a 3,000-year-old mummy as Hatshepsut, Egypt's greatest female Pharaoh.
More powerful than Cleopatra or Nefertiti, Hatshepsut stole the throne from her young stepson, dressed herself as a man, and in an unprecedented move, declared herself Pharaoh. Though her power stretched across Egypt and her reign was prosperous, Hatshepsut's legacy was mysteriously erased from Egyptian history – records were destroyed, monuments were torn down and her corpse was removed from her tomb.
Follow this investigative journey through the massive crypts beneath Egypt and into the depths of the Cairo Museum. Using knowledge of royal Egyptian mummification, clues from two linked tombs and the latest forensic technologies including CT scanning, molecular analysis and DNA testing, uncover one of Egypt's greatest mysteries after 3,000 years of silence.
