Jars of wine, some still sealed, were discovered in an Egyptian queen's tomb from 5,000 years ago. Scientists say the excavation from Egypt's first royal cemetery at Abydos reveals secrets.
The University of Vienna researchers say she was the most powerful woman in the period and possibly the first female pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. "The wine was no longer liquid and we can’t tell if it was red or white." Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle for Fox News Digital.
Queen Meret-Neith was the only woman to have her own monumental tomb in Egypt's first royal cemetery at Abydos.
