“A mummy currently believed to be that of Ramesses I was stolen from Egypt and displayed in a Canadian museum for many years before being repatriated. The mummy's identity cannot be conclusively determined, but is most likely to be that of Ramesses I based on CT scans, X-rays, skull measurements and radio-carbon dating tests by researchers at Emory University, as well as aesthetic interpretations of family resemblance. Moreover, the mummy's arms were found crossed high across his chest which was a position reserved solely for Egyptian royalty until 600 BC. The mummy had been stolen by the Abu-Rassul family of grave robbers and brought to North America around 1860 by Dr. James Douglas. It was then placed in the Niagara Museum and Daredevil Hall of Fame in Niagara Falls Ontario, Canada. The mummy remained there, its identity unknown, next to other curiosities and so-called freaks of nature for more than 130 years. When the owner of the museum decided to sell his property, Canadian businessman William Jamieson purchased the contents of the museum and, with the help of Canadian Egyptologist Gayle Gibson, identified their great value. In 1999, Jamieson sold the Egyptian artifacts in the collection, including the various mummies, to the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia for US $2 million. The mummy was returned to Egypt on October 24, 2003 with full official honors and is on display at the Luxor Museum.”
Thanks HandyDandy. There will of course always be some doubt, thanks to the sketchy provenance. But the mummy has been displayed as Ramses I for years now, and a lot of work went into verifying it. Hawass stated they couldn’t be 100% sure.

[snip] NARRATOR: Still, in 1994, the owner of the Niagara Falls Museum allowed a researcher to date a small tissue sample from the mummy. The test produced a range between 790 and 1085 B.C., right at the end of the New Kingdom, but old enough to rule out the possibility that the mummy was from the Roman Era. [/snip]
The conventional pseudochronology puts Ramses I reigning 1293-1291 BC, IOW, no, the radiocarbon date doesn’t support the conventional pseudochronology.
Hawass also claims that RC dating doesn’t work in Egypt, which actually makes him the most honest of the Egyptologists. Most just deny that the problem for their pseudochronlogy doesn’t exist, he denies it too, but rejects scientific dating. He’s also the one who rejected the recent years-long muon studies (two teams were insisted on) which clearly revealed a second, higher grand gallery type structure higher up in the Great Pyramid.
