It is a tantalizing idea and an outrageous long-shot: a shriveled
mummy with crossed arms that has lain neglected on a dusty museum
shelf at Niagara Falls could be the remains of a long-lost Egyptian
king. While a trail of clues hints at how the looted mummy made its
way to North America, archeologists, scientists, and even an
orthodontist look to the latest genetic testing and imaging
techniques in hopes of ascertaining the body's hidden identity.
"The Mummy Who Would Be King" reveals an astounding story filled
with historical intrigue and the wonders of forensic science.
