Question

How did carter managed to seperate tut's mummy from its coffin, why was it subjected to repeated scrutining

Answer 1

Carter faced a lot of difficulties in separating Tut's mummy from its coffin. First of all, he tried to use the intense heat of the Egyptian sun to loosen the resins. For several hours he set the mummy outside in blazing sunshine that heated it to 149 degrees Fahrenheit. Nothing budged. Finally, he had to chisel the consolidated material away from beneath the limbs and trunk before it was possible to raise the king’s remains. King Tut's mummy was subjected to repeated scrutiny because the mummy and the gold artifacts inside his tomb remain the richest royal collection ever found and have become part of the pharaoh’s legend. Besides, Tut was the last pharaoh who had died very young mysteriously. So the researchers wanted to know the mysteries related to it.
