Why oh why don't they ever do DNA testing before giving the mummies back to the Egyptians? I was so frustrated when they discovered ‘Ramses the Great’ in a Niagara Falls museum and they gave him back to Dr Zahi Hawass, (Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities) without testing.

The museum in Cairo just got their own DNA lab set up in-house a year or so ago but they just use it to ID family members of a dynasty like Hatshepsut but don't go the extra step and test for ethnicity or compare it to possible living descendants.

So Rameses oldest son died of an unknown ailment, hmmmm? Guess dissing the Death Angel was a bad idea.
