I read this and thought, OMG, they finally found her mummy! Of course, maybe it will turn out not to be Hatshepsut, but since Zahi Hawass is involved, it most likely is.

Last night, I saw a commercial on the Discovery Channel for a special they're doing on it called "Secrets of Egypt's lost queen", which aires July 15th at 9pm. I first found this out on the yahoo news thing, and now yesterday my friend called my up and said that:

A. The DNA of her grandmother and herself matched. (Yea...what?)

B. The teeth they found in the jar with her liver in it fit perfectly in her mouth where the missing holes were.

Hawass concluded yesterday (I think it was him, it had to be, cause God forbid he doesn't get the glory of revealing it to the world!) that they were 100 percent sure it was here. If it is, then I'm throwing a party, who's with me?! :D Hatshepsut par-tay!

Did you notice the quick cover your butt that Hawass did? Originally, when the search for Hapshepsut was considering the mummy , his comment was "it's only an obese mummy with a missing tooth"!
Later, that was ammended, he corrected himself with "When I saw the mummy had her arm on her chest, I knew it was Royality".
Fast!
But I must admit--even though the mummy is, without a doubt, Hapshepsut, I cannot bring myself to believe she was a fat, old woman! I always think of her as a young, vibrant, exciting person...
Oh well--PARTEEEEEEE!!!

I plan on watching the show on Discovery, although I hope it does a better job in its presentation than "Nefertiti Resurrected. " :roll:

But I do find it to be very exciting that Hatshepsut's remains have been identified, and think she deserves all the attention that she is getting. I also have no problem with her turning out to be old and fat.....seeing her in such a way restores a bit of the humanity that has been lost by the passage of thousands of years and her being one of the "big dogs" in the history book.

We often have a habit of perceiving the ancients as being larger than life(and it is difficult to see her as anything but), and they become more like legendary characters than real people just like us. Being able to see Maatkare's mortality and vulnerability somehow restores her humanity, taking some of the focus off of her impressive legacy and directing it to an aging, obese woman who suffered from cancer and bad teeth. Does that make any sense at all?

There's nothing wrong at all with finding out that Hatshepsut was overweight. After all, the Egyptians considered this a sign of wealth, so surely it's easy to suppose that many rulers and nobles were a little overweight. :?

For most of history you had to be rich to afford to be fat so being fat was a status symbol.
