but...I'm the only to find strange that a tooth is found in a canopic pot?it was'n its place...it's a coincidence?just lucky?
I don't know if Ican believe in it..
I don't think it was actually a canopic jar. More like a reliquary-little jars or boxes that people use to hold remains of saints, royalty, loved ones, etc. I'm guessing that that tooth broke and fell out for some reason, and some person grabbed it and (since restorative dental surgery was kinda beyond the Egyptian doctors' capabilities then) stuck it in a reliquary, so it was like Hatshepsut would be with him/her. And when Hatshepsut was the current god incarnate on the throne, why not have a piece of the god with you?
