The question most often asked is, “What did King Tut really look like?” From his well-known golden funeral mask, we have seen his famous face staring back at us over the ages. At age fifteen, four years prior to his mysterious death, we witness him in a richly dyed linen headdress. On his forehead a gold band with the royal vulture and cobra symbols crafted in blue, red, and turquoise jewels. Using imaging equipment, we have recently been given our first detailed 3D look

We all remember seeing images of King Tut lying in his sarcophagus. What is the bond that brings worldwide attention to a long since dead civilization?

Some folks might not be able to find Egypt on a map, but we are all linked together with our ancestors from the cradle to the grave.

The ancient Egyptians believed in the afterlife and did not consider death morbid. They buried their dead with all the furnishings they would need in life beyond the grave. King Tut’s tomb is the intact burial tomb ever discovered. The discovery gives us a glimpse into the past when Pharaoh Tut ascended the throne at age nine around 1332 BC.

Since the mummy of King Tut was brought to light in 1922, the unsolved mystery of his early demise has long been debated. The recent conclusion by forensic science is Tutankhamun died from gangrene after suffering a leg injury. Experts found that the fracture in King Tut’s leg occurred only days before his death. There was no evidence that he had been struck on the head, or any other indication that he was murdered.
