King Tut is one of the most famous mummies in the world. There are various reasons behind this fame. The chief reason is the mystery associated with him. He was the last heir of Pharaoh Dynasty. He died quite young at the age of nineteen very mysteriously. Another reason is Tut is the richest mummy in the world. So it always attracted the attention of the researchers. It is not surprising he remained regally ahead of his countrymen in life as well as after death.

Answer 2

"King Tut is one of the first mummies to be scanned — in death, as in life, moving regally ahead of his countrymen."

Just as the king was a leading figure when alive, he remains so even in his death by being the first mummy to be scanned, to come in contact with such an advanced technology
