CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- Egyptian authorities using DNA analysis and a tooth identified Wednesday a mummy found a century ago as the remains of pharaoh Queen Hatshepsut.

Another mummy, which had been in the Cairo Museum for decades and was long believed to be the queen's wet nurse was initially investigated as possibly being Hatshepsut herself.
But Hawass said Wednesday that a different mummy brought back to Cairo two months ago was in fact identified as the pharaoh queen.
