MUMMY DEAREST

摘要

Scientists once suspected that this 3,300-year-old corpse was King Tutankhamun's mother. They were close. The mummy is now believed to have been his grandmother-his only grandmother. Using CT-scan analysis and the first DNA tests able to amplify the genetic material of the desiccated Egyptian mummies, an international group of scientists and consultants with the Family of Tutankhamun Project found that King Tuts parents were full brother and sister, born of this woman.
