First of all I have to say kudos to Discovery and everyone involved for presenting such an enjoyable show without all the stupid garbage that we usually complain about here after watching a show ... I finally got to eat all the popcorn and not throw it at the TV!!!

We've seen quite a few people, professional and amateur, over the years trying to claim this mummy and that as Hatshepsut. But I have to say that the evidence Dr. Hawass presented seems *very* ironclad and its wonderful to see!

I also think quite a few people owe Dr. Hawass an apology. He has said in the past that he would use DNA if it were more reliable. Well its clear from watching the show that this is *new* technology that enhances the chances of getting good DNA readings, he also had built in the Cairo Museum a lab just for this purpose to help eliminate the contamination issues. Its very impressive.

I don't think I've enjoyed a show on Egypt this much in many years .... WAY TO GO!!!
