He was just a teenager when he
died. The last heir of a powerful
family that had ruled Egypt
and its empire for centuries,
he was laid to rest laden with
gold and eventually forgotten.
Since the discovery of his tomb
in 1922, the modern world has
speculated about what happened
to him, with murder being the
most extreme possibility. Now,
leaving his tomb for the first
time in almost 80 years, Tut
has undergone a CT scan that
offers new clues about his life and
death — and provides precise
data for an accurate forensic
reconstruction of the boyish
pharaoh.
