Zahi Hawass, Egypt's antiquities chief, looks at a mummy identified as Hatshepsut before a news conference at Cairo's Egyptian Museum on June 27, 2007.

Hawass' team conducted forensic and DNA tests on the mummy to conclude that it was Egypt's "lost queen."

The discovery makes Hatshepsut the first ancient Egyptian ruler to be positively identified since King Tutankhamun was excavated by Howard Carter in 1922, archaeologists told the New York Times.
