Dr. Zahi Hawass And Egypt's Lost Queen

By AirTalk Staff
Published Jul 11, 2007

Larry Mantle talks with world-renowned archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass about his recent discovery of Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt's few female pharaohs. More powerful than Cleopatra or Nefertiti, Queen Hatshepsut's legacy was mysteriously and systematically erased from Egyptian history. Dr. Hawass talks to Larry about how he found the mummy, and about the cutting-edge science used to confirm her identity.
