Hey, they found your namesake! [maybe]

Archaeology ping.

Imhotep will not be happy about this...

"You know, if I were a single man, I might ask that mummy out. That's a good-looking mummy."

Klintoon, natch.

Nefertiti: One of the ancient world's most beautiful women

[Paradox]

I say we let this guy check it out and decide..

"Hey, she's a mighty fine looking woman, I wouldn't mind going out with her..." (/clinton)

"However, critics say that without DNA evidence to verify the claims, it is unlikely to be the remains of the queen."

DNA evidence? Stupid.

[cake_crumb]

"However, virtually all traces of the queen and her 'heretic' husband were erased, after his unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the pantheon of Egyptian gods and replace worship of them with the sun god Aton, in one of the earliest known practices of monotheism"

Egypt then went on to worship a minor moon god from another country in the 7th century AD....

Akhenaten and to a lesser extent Nefertiti might have been wackjobs, but the irony of it just hit me...

[Mamzelle]

Truly lovely sculpture. Looks like Audrey Hepburn in profile.

[Burkeman1]

I seriously doubt this. Is this an attempt to get a "headline" or what? The "evidence" presented is dreadfully weak. Almost every trace of these heretics were systematically destroyed in Egyptian society right after their deaths. It is exteremely doubtful they would even have bothered to mummify a heretic who tried to destroy their religion much less bury her in tomb.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

"Without any comparative DNA studies, statements of certainty are merely wishful thinking."

Possibly they could check Klintoon for a sample of the Queen's DNA.

The whereabouts of the remains of Nefertiti, perhaps the most powerful woman in ancient Egypt

Nonsense! This was the most powerful woman in Ancient Egypt:
