Why did tut is body have …

Tut was just a teenager when he died. He was laid to rest in his grave laden with gold and finally forgotten. The tomb was discovered in 1922. The world has been speculating about Tut's fate. Some even did not rule out the possibility of his murder. A CT Scan was done on Tut to offer new clues about his life and death. The other aim was to provide an accurate forensic reconstruction of the young Pharaoh.

The workmen carried Tut from the tomb in his wooden box. They climbed a ramp and a flight of stairs in the sand outside. Then they rose on a hydraulic lift and went into the trailer that held the scanner.

The results of the CT Scan were quite encouraging. 1700 digital X-ray images in cross section were created. A grey head appeared on screen. Neck vertebrae were quite clear. The images of hand, ribcage and skull were equally bright. These revealed that nothing had gone seriously wrong with Tut's body.
