   You may remember Joann Fletcher as the unlucky   
   Egyptologists who somehow triggered the famous   
   Hawass, king of Egyptian antiquities, angering him   
   so much that he honestly made a goddamn fool of   
   himself.   
      
   What happened was that she made a rather   
   uncontroversial identification of a mummy as   
   Nefertiti. Now, granted it wasn't the most popular   
   theory, and I know that I certainly had no use for it,   
   but it's important to remember that it was hardly   
   unique.   
      
   SHE WASN'T THE ORIGINATOR!   
      
   She wasn't the first much less the only person to   
   come to the same conclusion.   
      
   Anyhow, so Hawass went BALLISTIC! He broke his   
   own rule on DNA testing, just to prove her wrong,   
   literally doing it out of malice. AND he came out with   
   some genuinely kooky counter theories which, by   
   comparison, made Joan Fletcher's ideas seem mundane.   
      
   I believe he even banned her at the time!   
      
   Anyhow, she's back! Or, she has been back for some   
   time now, the King Slayer, and she has an entire series   
   on Egyptian history currently available FREE on Youtube.   
      
   Catch it while you can, because you know it's all going to   
   end up behind a paywall eventually...   
      
   And, for Christ's sake, DON'T PICK A FIGHT WITH HER!   
      
   The women is a survivor...
