It is very easy to contaminate.
And you've got to remember when these bodies were unwrapped, they were handled.
I mean, the ones that were unwrapped and put in museums were in a way the lucky ones.
They were ground down for medicine, for paint, to make paper.
Imagine having your fish and chips from paper made of mummified ancient Egyptians.
There's lots of contamination, so it's actually very difficult to be sure.
And even if you do extract DNA positively, actually confirming the nature of the relationship, a genetic relationship, is very difficult indeed.
As often in Egyptology, it depends who you talk to.

Right.
Okay.
