The news is filled with articles on the relations revealed through the DNA and other testing that has been done over the last couple of years on the eighteenth dynasty mummies. There are reports that Ankhesunamen(Tutankhamen's wife) has potentially been found to be one of the two badly damaged mummies from KV 21 in the valley of kings.
