Ancient Egyptians mummified the dead in a meticulous and complex process

Ancient Egyptians mummified the dead in a meticulous and complex process that lasted up to 70 days, according to the Smithsonian Museum.

The famous Egyptologist Zahi Hawass is sure that a mummy he is studying is queen Nefertiti in the 18th Dynasty.

Hawass, who has studied Egyptian history and excavated ancient tombs for decades and is a former Egyptian minister of antiquities, is preparing for an exhibition focused on women under pharaohs.

Queen Nefertiti, whose full name is Neferneferuaten Nefertiti, lived between 1370 and 1330 BC. Married to pharaoh Akhenaten, she became queen during the Egyptian flourishing period and was the mother of pharaoh Tutankhamun aka King Tut.

Some researchers including Hawass claim that after her husband’s death, Nefertiti reigned for 3 years.

Egypt in this mordern days hold most of its religious records in the Bible, according to Joshep days.

While the mummies of many pharaohs have been discovered, Nefertiti’s remains remain unidentified.

“We have DNA from mummies from the 18th Dynasty, from Akhenaten to Amenhotep II or III and there are two anonymous mummies with the numbers KV21a and b,” Hawass said, adding that it would announce the findings in October.
