CONTAINING LINKS TO 1280 STORIES FROM THE NETWORKS' NIGHTLY NEWSCASTS
     COMMENTS: Dry Bones

Both ABC and NBC closed with the discovery by the Discovery Channel for its new documentary Secrets of Egypt's Lost Queen. NBC's Richard Engel was in Cairo at the Royal Mummy Hall to report on the CAT scan investigation that linked a tooth believed to be that of the C16th BCE Pharaoh Hatshepsut to a previously unidentified skeleton. The pharaoh, who "stole power from her stepson and dressed as a man, reigned over Egypt for 20 years at the height of its glory." The skeleton is of a 5'2" obese, diabetic woman who died of bone cancer. NBC's Engel credited Discovery with providing the funds for Egyptian archeologists to perform the scans. ABC's Ned Potter (subscription required) narrated documentary footage of the scans from New York. Even as the footage sported Discovery's logo, Potter credited chief archeologist Zahi Hawass, not the cable channel whose funds he used, as the leader of the search for the bones of Hatshepsut.
