The Egyptian Mummy Project, which began an inventory in late 2003, was engaged in the task of recording mummies so it had recorded almost 600 so far and was still counting. The next phase of the project was scanning the mummies with a portable CT machine donated by the National Geographic Society and Siemens, its manufacturer. King Tut was one of the first mummies to be scanned, in death, as in life, moving regally ahead of his countrymen.

Yes Carter did write because in his defence Carter had little choice.If he hadn't cut the mummy free so the thieves would have cheated the guards and destroyed the mummy in a part to remove all the gold because in Tut's time royal families were too wealthy and they took gold rings,necklaces,bracelets etc.with dead bodies.

The results of the CT scan revealed some wonderful images of Tut on the computer screen. His neck-bone appeared very clearly. So were the other images — a hand and several views of rib cage and skull.

Howard Carter's investigation was resented. Howard Carter's investigation was resented because Carter's men removed the mummy's head and severed nearly every major joint of the body to raise Tut's body from the coffin.

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.
All this procedure badly damaged King Tut’s mummy. Carter justified it saying if he had not secured the gold treasures, the thieves would have damaged the mummy beyond any restoration.

The boy king changed his own name from Tutankhaten to Tutankhamun means ‘living image of Amun’ because Amun was a major God in ancient Egypt. But the previous King had made his people worship the Sun God Aten. He had smashed all the images of Amun. When Tut became the king, he restored the old ways.

When Howard Carter, a British Archeologist opened the first coffin of King tut, he found a shroud adorned with garlands of willow and olive leaves, wild celery, lotus petals, and cornflowers.These are all flowers that grow in the summer. So, this proves the burial of King Tut in March or April which is mid-summer.

King Tut's death was a big event because not only he was a mere teenager when he died but also the last heir of one of the most strongest and powerful royal families that had their sway over the Egyptian empire. His death heralded the end of a powerful dynasty and a grand era.

The question has been taken from the chapter "Discovering Tut" from book "Hornbill".
Ray Johnson describes Akhenaten as funny because of his eccentric nature .
Thebes was the religious capital of Ancient Egypt of which Amun was the major God.
Akhenaten, when became the king of Egypt, made his people worship Aten , sun god. He made people to transform their religion. He broke down the idols of Amun and also transferred the capital from " Thebes" to Akhenaten.
Because of his eccentric decisions, Ray Johnson calls Akhenaten as funny.

In the year 1922, when the British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered king Tut's tomb, the sensational factor was the discovery of the funerary treasures. It was the richest royal collection ever found and became a part of the pharaoh;s legend. Stunning artefacts, their eternal brilliance was meant to guarantee resurrection which caused a sensation at the time of the discovery. The funerary treasures tell us that the ancient Egyptians believed in life after death and the funerary treasures were meant to come in handy for the deceased person after they had passed on to the realm of the afterlife.

The pharaoh's curse was that death or misfortune would fall upon those who disturbed him. The silent visitors are the first to refer to it. Later on a guard joked nervously when the million dollar scanner stopped functioning because of sand in a cooler fan.

Mr. Koch wrote that Albert was ready to enter a college for the study of higher Mathematics. He also wrote that he couldn’t teach him any more. Probably he (Albert) would soon be able to teach him. It was such a wonderful recommendation that no one could have got from a teacher.

Albert was quite nervous when he met the doctor because he had thought a lot concerning what he would tell the doctor. Albert could not tell lies. Yuri had suggested to him to be quite frank with the doctor. All this made Albert feel very nervous. This shows Albert was quite simple, honest and sincere. He could not be shrewd nor mean to secure some advantage for himself.

The content of the tut’s tomb was considered special because it was discovered by Howard Carter after the period in which most of the archeologist claimed that the entire tomb in the place were completely identified.
Secondly inside the tomb, Carter discovered rooms loaded up with wealth. This included statues, gold adornments, Tutankhamen’s mummy, chariots, model pontoons, canopic containers, seats, and works of art.
It was a stunning disclosure and one of the most significant made ever of. Taking all things together, there were more than 5,000 items in the tomb. It took Carter and his group ten years to list everything.
