Answer

Hatshepsut's body has been positively identified in recent years by the Egyptologist Zahi Hawass. Her body was mummified, as would normally be done. It has been identified by a missing tooth, a tooth placed in a box marked with Hatshepsut's name, that was found in her tomb. It was also identified by the fact that it was put in a cache with her nurse, which narrowed it down. A dentist was able to show that the tooth definitely came from Hatshepsut's body. Her mummy was one in a cache of mummies, moved to protect it from tomb robbers.
