Scientists in America think they have

discovered
 the body of Ramses I (the First), who is believed to have been the pharaoh at the time when the Jewish Exodus described in the Old Testament of the Bible. The pharaoh's mummy was discovered in July 2000 lying inside a cardboard box in the private Niagara Falls Daredevil Museum where it had lain unrecognised for 140 years. The Egyptologists think it was stolen from a tomb in Egypt more than 3000 years ago. Science has made great progress in DNA testing and the scientists hope that they will be able to prove that it is Ramses I by comparing DNA samples of the mummy to samples from Ramses I's son, Sethi I.
