The bizarre burial was found in KV11 of the Valley of the Kings, where the second Pharaoh of the 20th Dynasty of ancient Egypt - Ramses III - was laid to rest with his royal family. Thought to have reigned from 1186BC to 1155BC, Ramses III is considered to have been the last great monarch of the New Kingdom to wield any substantial authority over Egypt. His long reign saw the decline of Egyptian political and economic power, linked to a series of invasions and internal economic problems that also plagued pharaohs before him.
But he was able to save Egypt from collapsing as many other empires fell during the Late Bronze Age, however, he was brutally assassinated in what came to be known as the Harem conspiracy...
Dr Zink carried out DNA testing on both the bodies of Ramses III and the "screaming mummy".
He revealed: "We found that Pentaweret died from suicide, possibly by hanging himself.
"We installed a DNA laboratory in Cairo, close to the museum, to extract the DNA and then multiply it and get the genetic fingerprint of the mummy.
"What we saw when we analysed the DNA of both mummies was that they indeed share 50 percent of the DNA, so it's highly likely that they are indeed father and son."

Lucky you,
My grandkids have been there, but I think they were too young to appreciate ir.
I saw the Tut exhibit when I was in 5th grade as it toured the US in the 70s.
I sawnit again when my Navy Destroyer went to Egypt in the mid 80s.
I put off and did not see it when it toured my current city a few years ago.
It was a better experience on the tour than in Egypt.....the army personnel in Egypt kept you moving and wpuld not let you stand and look so as to push more tourists through.
I didn't like it when my mummy screamed at me.
