CAN ANYONE PLZ TELL ME THE SUMMARY OF

DISCOVERING TUT :THE SAGA CONTINUES??

PLZ I GOT EXAM TOMORROW...PLZ HELP ME OUT!:/

This story by A.R.William very vividly describes the progress of the process which involved excavating and studying the mummy of the famous Egyptian king Tutankhamun.Tutankhamun died in his teens. Since his tomb was discovered in 1922, after 22 years, Tut underwent a CT scan that offered new clues on his life and death. Investigations showed the real  cause of death of the young Pharaoh. Reconstruction refers to re-establishing the previously held belief about the circumstances under which the young Pharaoh died. He became the king when he was 11 years old and died after ruling for 8 years. It is thought that he could have been murdered.

Howard Carter was the person who had discovered the tomb of Tut. With that was discovered the world's richest royal collection ever found. He went to his afterlife with things such as board games, food, wine, linen undergarments, etc. Artefacts of gold of extreme brilliance could be found in his grave. It took months for Carter to record all the things that had been found in his grave.

When for the first time Tut's grave was opened he found that the resins had hardened because of which it was difficult to unearth the entire body. To separate Tut's body from its adornments Carter had to chisel the mummy and remove the mummy's head and severe the various major joints. The story reveals that it is only by scientific analysis that we can probe facts about past life or buried things. In the absence of living evidence, scientific analysis is the only way to determine the facts.

However, with the passage of time, archaeology has changed substantially, the study focussing less on the treasure and more on the details of life and the intriguing mysteries which surrounded his early death.

His demise was a very big deal and funeral was the death rattle of a dynasty. However, the particulars of his passing away and the aftermath is still unclear. After Tut came, the new Pharaoh who promoted the worship of the Aten, the sun disk, changedhis name to Akhenaten. The new king also moved the religious capital from the old city Thebes to the new city of Akhetaten. After the occurrence of a few more tragic incidents in history, the reign of Pharaohs in Egypt came to an end and everything turned into ruins.

The CT scan showed the mummy from head to toe creating 1,700 digital X-ray images in cross section. After analysing the entire body of Tut, the team of specialists in radiology, forensics and anatomy probed the secret that the winged goddesses of a gilded burial shrine protected Tut's entire body for so long.

After the examination of Tut's body and checking that no data had been lost, the workmen put him back in his coffin where the Pharaoh again rested in peace where the funerary priests had laid him so long ago. When they were about to leave the tomb, the wind had stopped and the surrounding had come to a deathly silence. In the sky, just above the entrance to Tut's tomb stood Orion, the constellation that ancient Egyptians knew as the soul of Osiris, the God of Afterlife, watching over the boy King.
