Question

He was just a teenager when he died. The last heir of a powerful family that had ruled Egypt and its empire for

centuries, he was laid to rest laden with gold and eventually forgotten. Since the discovery of his tomb in 1922, the

modern world has speculated about what happened to him, with murder being the most extreme possibility. Now,

leaving his tomb for the first time in almost 80 years, Tut has undergone a CT scan that offers new clues about his

life and death — and provides precise data for an accurate forensic reconstruction of the boyish pharaoh.

An angry wind stirred up ghostly dust devils as King Tut was taken from his resting place in the ancient Egyptian

cemetery known as the Valley of the Kings. Dark-bellied clouds had scudded across the desert sky all day and now

were veiling the stars in casket grey. It was 6 p.m. on 5 January 2005. The world’s most famous mummy glided

head first into a CT scanner brought here to probe the lingering medical mysteries of this little understood young

ruler who died more than 3,300 years ago.
