Tut was the last heir of a powerful Egyptian dynasty. He died in his teens about 3,300 years ago. Laden with gold, he was laid to rest and was eventually forgotten. An English archeologist, Carter, discovered his tomb in 1922. The mummy had to undergo CT scan in order to unveil numerous mysteries about Tut’s life and death. Many tourists from all over the world came to see the most famous mummy. The mummy was in a deplorable state.

Howard Carter found three nested coffins of Tut. On opening the first one, he saw a shroud decorated with garlands, willow, olive and lotus petals. When he finally reached the mummy, he encountered a m major problem. The ritual resins had hardened which left Tut cemented to the bottom. He tried hard to loosen the resins by putting the mummy in the sunlight, but he failed. He had to chisel away the solidified resins to raise the king’s remains. If he had not done so, thieves would have cut it apart to remove the gold. Carter’s men removed the mummy’s head and separated almost every part and joint.

A CT scan was done to find out new clues about his life and death and to provide an accurate ‘forensic reconstruction’ of the young pharaoh. It was considered to be the ‘curse of the Pharaoh’. But the substitute fans which were used made it possible for the whole process to finish. A technician pulled up wonderful images of Tut on computer screen. Everything went off smoothly. After the completion of scan, his mummy was carried back to his tomb. Just above Tut’s tomb stood a cluster of stars known as Orion, watching over the boy king.
