Discovering Tut: the Saga Continues

- A. R. Williams

Answer.

• Tut's mummy was d. removed with difficulty from the bottom of his solid gold coffin.

Explanation.

• In "Discovering Tut: the Saga Continues ", we see that it was very difficult to remove Tut's mummy: The ritual resins had hardened, cementing Tut to the bottom of his solid gold coffin. “No amount of legitimate force could move them,” Carter wrote later.

• However they did the work in the most unusual way: To separate Tut from his adornments, Carter’s men removed the mummy’s head and severed nearly every major joint. Once they had finished, they reassembled the remains on a layer of sand in a wooden box with padding that concealed the damage, the bed where Tut now rests.
