Egypt is allowing DNA testing on mummies? I think that's a reversal of a long held position.
That will certainly help to identify many of the mummies that have been discovered (unlike commonly held belief, relatively few pharaohs mummies have survived). Thutmoses I's (alleged) mummy was one of a number discovered in a cache tomb during the end of the 19th century. Among the pharaohs secreted away in the cache, Ramses II (the Great), Seti, Amenhotep I, Ahmose and many others.
If it weren't for the fact that these mummies were hidden away by a band of priests in the distant past, they would certainly not have survived to this day.
