The box is inscribed with Hatshepsut's name and contains the mummified organs of the pharaoh queen.

While conducting a CT scan of the box and its contents, scientists discovered a broken molar, which experts believe was placed there after the tooth was dislodged during the mummification process.

By matching the molar with a tooth socket in the mummy's jaw, archaeologists were able to determine that the mummy was that of Hatshepsut.
