Tutankhamun's DNA To Be Tested

richard_za writes "Archeologists and doctors from Japan's Waseda University and Nagoya University will join with researchers from Egypt's government and Cairo University to open King Tut's coffin for the first time in 30 years to remove samples of hair, bone or nail. Using these samples, his DNA will be analysed and compared to that of Amenhptep III to test whether he really was Tut's father. The final goal is to map out the lineage of the Kingdom. You can find the full story here."
