🔍 King Tut's Mysterious Death and Discovery
King Tut, the last successor of a powerful Egyptian ruling family, died as a teenager and was buried with great wealth and ceremony. His tomb was forgotten until its rediscovery by archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922. Despite the tomb's intact state, questions about Tut's death and life persist. On January 5, 2005, King Tut's mummy was subjected to a CT scan to uncover new clues about his life and death. The tomb's condition has deteriorated due to Carter's methods in the 1920s, which involved removing the mummy's head and cutting major joints to access the gold within. Modern archaeology focuses on understanding the details of life and death, using sophisticated tools like CT scans. The scan aimed to provide answers to how Tut died and his age at death, offering a more detailed examination than previous X-rays.
🌟 King Tut's CT Scan and the Quest for Answers
The CT scan of King Tut's mummy was conducted to reveal more about his death and age, building on the knowledge gained from a 1968 X-ray that showed missing breastbone and front ribs. The scan involved creating 1700 digital X-ray images, with the mummy's head being scanned in 0.62 mm slices. The process was fraught with challenges, including a temporary malfunction of the scanner due to sand in the cooling fan, which was humorously attributed to the 'curse of the Pharaoh.' Despite the setbacks, the scan was completed, and the images provided a detailed look at Tut's remains. The successful completion of the scan was a relief to the team, and the mummy was returned to its tomb, overseen by the constellation Orion, which the ancient Egyptians associated with the soul of Osiris, the god of the afterlife.

he set the mummy outside in blazing
Sunshine that heated it to 149 de F
nothing moved he reported the hardened
material has to be cut away from below
the limbs and trunk to raise the king's
remains you may consider it wrong to
damage the mummy which is of a
historical
importance but Carter heard a point if I
don't cut the mummy thieves will somehow
rip the guards apart to remove the gold
so he did it
himself Carter's men removed the mummy's
head and cut nearly every major joint
once they had finished collecting the
gold they reassembled the remains on a
layer of sand in a wooden box with a
support that hid the damaged
areas this wooden box is now the bed
where T now rests see what an
archaeologist did to the most popular
mommy but now archaeology has changed
focusing Less on Treasure and more on

below the resin that cakes his chest his
breast bone and front ribs are missing
today Diagnostic Imaging can be done
with CT that is computed tomography in
this hundreds of xray in cross-section
are put together to create a 3D virtual
body now it's to's time for his CT scan
what more would a CT scan reveal of tat
than the
X-ray and could it answer two of the
biggest questions still there how did he
die and how old was he when he died King
TD's death was a big event he was the
last of his family's line and his death
