Rinu's Englishpedia A beautiful chapter dealing with the lineage and mystery of King Tut's life and death. It describes the advances made in technology (CT Scan) which helped in recreating Tut's 3-D image and cleared doubts regarding his untimely death.
His tomb was discovered by Howard Carter, who had no other option but to chisel out Tut's remains from his coffin and sever all the major joints as the body was badly stuck to the coffin. Due to the King's curse, instead of bringing him acclaim, this discovery destroyed Howard Carter's name for all eternity.
the chapter also talks about the ancestry of King Tutankhamun, his father and grandfather, how Akhenaten went crazy and destroyed all the idols and temples of the major God - Amun and brought in the worship of the sun disk - Aten. He shifted the religious capital from Thebes to Akhetaten - now known as Amarna. However when King Tut was made the King at the age of nine years, he reinstated the old God - Amun and brought in the old ways.
He was the last heir of a major dynasty which had ruled Egypt for centuries. He died in his late teens and the reason of his death and when he died has remained a great mystery.
With Howard Carter's discovery, the time of his death was revealed - the month of March/April, and the CT Scan revealed the cause of his death.
King Tut was royal in life as well as in death. He was born in the royal family, lived a royal life and was the first to become a King at the age of nine and so he was royal in life. His mummy was the first mummy to be CT Scanned and therefore, he was royal in death.
