Does this Gleaner front page feature our first Queen?

I thought this week would be a good week to feature a front page of the Gleaner. Although this front page and extraordinary story came to my notice in September, I thought the unexpected death of our Queen Elizabeth ll would eclipse interest in it. However, as the British Museum is currently showcasing Egyptian Hieroglyphs and it is a hundred years since archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the "wonderful things" in Tutenkhamun's tomb, I thought this story might be of interest. Egypt's Queen was an ancestor of Tutenkhamun. It's all speculation and more than a bit theoretical, but, as Gleaner photojournalist Margery Moore would say, "nothing is ever straight forward in the Havell Hundreds." https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=6146758282015377&set=a.103517133006219
