The Pharaohs of Egypt, over the years have fascinated the historians, archaeologists and public but theGeatest marvel ever, is the boyish king- Tutankhamun. He had died 3300 years ago when he was inteens and had ruled for only nine years. He had brought about a few changes during his brief rule.These changes were significant because they marked restoration of the old ways of worship of Amun.Public curiosity remained alive as to the causes and modes of his death as well as his exact age at thetime of his death. After his death, his dead body has been a centre of scientific examination. HowardCarter, the British archaeologist discovered Tut¶s tomb in 1922. A lot of findings were brought to light
when it was dug out. Later, in 1968, an anatomy Professor X-Rayed the mummy only to find a few of its bones missing and broken. The Egyptian Mummy Project which began in late 2003 has so farrecorded 600 and is still continuing. The next phase of C.T scanning with a portable C.T machine beganon 5
th
January 2005. The pride of place went to King Tut, whose mummy was the first to undergo C.Tscan. Hence, the assertion that in death as in life, King Tut moved regally ahead of his countrymen.
