This week there were reports about a group of British scientists who believe they may have uncovered the body of Queen Nefertiti, reputedly the most beautiful and charismatic of all Egypt's Queens.

She appears in Egyptian history immediately before Tutankhamun. The tomb in the Valley of the Kings was discovered in 1898, but the mummies were resealed and apparently forgotten, until the team of scientists drilled into the room earlier this year. So could it be Nefertiti and why is everyone so excited?
Jeanne Whitehurst, Chairman of the Poynton Egypt Group, near Manchester and Dr Joyce Tildesley, a research fellow at Liverpool University join Jenni the discuss the significance of this discovery.
