On This Date in TWISTED-HISTORY.com! in 2009, archeologists in Egypt entered a 4,300 year old pyramid and discovered the mummy of Queen Shesheshet, the founder of the short-lived Tourette Dynasty of the Rude Period of Egyptian History. The Rude Period existed briefly between the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties.
