A tooth found in a relic box led archaeologists to identify a long-overlooked mummy as that of Egypt's most powerful female pharaoh — possibly the most significant find since King Tutankhamun's tomb was uncovered in 1922, experts said Wednesday.

A monumental builder, she wielded more power than two other famous ancient Egyptian women, Cleopatra and Nefertiti, who unlike her never took the title of pharaoh.
