Introduction
On January 5, 2005, the mummy of Tutankhamun (c. 1355-1346 B.C.) was removed from its tomb in the Valley of the Kings for the first time in almost eighty years. That to perform CT Scan on it.

Previous Examination
1. In 1926, the mummy of the young king had been essential dismantled by the team of Carter [the discoverer], who were interested primarily in recovering the almost 150 jewels, amulets, and other items wrapped with the body and gaining the maximum possible scientific information from the body itself. To order to remove the objects from the body and the body from the coffin, to which it was stuck fast by the hardened embalming liquids (most likely resins) used to anoint the mummy, Carter’s team cut the body into a number of large and small pieces (for example, the trunk was cut in half, the arms and legs were detached). The head, cemented by the solidified resins to the golden mask, was severed, and removed from the mask with hot knives.
2. In 1968, the mummy has been X-rayed by a team from the University of Liverpool under R.G. Harrison, and
3. In 1978, the mummy has been X-rayed by by J.E. Harris of the University of Michigan.

The Benefits of CT Scanning
CT scanning is a non-invasive tool that can scan the whole body in a very short time, and can differentiate between various types of soft tissue and bone in three-dimensional images. Conventional X-rays can see two planes only and cannot clearly distinguish the soft tissues. The scope and ability of CT scanning to diagnose and differentiate between diseases is also far superior. The body also does not need to be moved repeatedly, as is the case for X-rays.

[B]Results of the CT Scan
The analyze of CT scan images of Tutankhamun confirmed that:
- King Tutankhamun died at about the age of 19.
- He suffered no major childhood malnutrition or infectious diseases.
- King Tut was not murdered as previously thought. No evidence found for a blow to the back of the head, and no other indication of foul play.
Plus many other interpretations. See by yourself the details at

Well if he wasn't murdered and had no killing diseases why did he die? I am pretty sure the life expectancy back then wasn't 19. Here is my theory, as a adolesence teen, he rebelled against the aliens. Because we all know that the aliens built the pyramids >.> As a result of his rebellious nature the aliens with advanced technology ended his life prematurely.

Don't ask what I am smoking, because its w33d. I don't do coke.

LOL Yipster... *checks you into rehab and tells the docs not to let you out till the alien theory is gone*

Yeah I watched all the documentaries about Tutankhamun, including the new ones about the 3rd new scan this year. But although there was no evidence of disease etc etc, it is still clear that he was very likely murdered.

Tutanknamun was the only son of Pharaoh Ahkenaten, the heretic king, who was the only Egyptian king ever to turn his back against the Egyptian religious order of Maat and the gods and turn towards monotheistic worship. when Ahkenaten died, the people returned to Maat and Tutankhamun was forced to follow what the religious priests said.

The documentaries said also that it seemed very clear that Tutankhamun was buried in a hurry, one reason why they believe everybody forgot about him and tomb robbers never found his funerary treasures. If you look at the pictures of Tutanknamun's tomb the way they found it, you'll see that all of the funerary treasures were stacked really haphazardly, like they'd been put in, in a hurry:

Just imagine... the treasures were really PRICELESS... why would you just throw them in quickly? People would normally take their time... but they didn't with Tutankhamun's burial. What's more, it's believed that the hole on the back of his head was caused by abrupt handling of his body by the mummy wrapers during the 90 days required to prepare his mummy before the funeral...

Anyway, personally, I think that all this to do with Tutankhamun is a waste of time after a certain extent. Just because Tut's treasures were discovered intact doesn't mean that he was particularly important. There are many other pharaohs who lived fuller lives and accomplished many many things, as opposed to a 19-year-old who lived a pampered life and went hunting sometimes... i mean, come on!
What about Ramses II, Ramses III, Seti I, Khufu, Khafra... even Akhenaten was more interesting!

Please don't abuse using "Theory". There are condition for Hypothesis to become Theory if you can prove it. You can use my opnion or my sugestion instead.

Also it is not true to say: "because we all know". Who we?. And "all" must include me and this is wrong because I don't know what u said.

Then from where come this "aliens" fantasy. Where in the Egyptian temples' walls , oblenisks or papyrus was written about that. You are confused with Holywood films. That the dangerous of producing films using names or events in history.

Also there are people can not accept that Egypt was one day the nativey of civilisation.

Many counries were one day the prime counrty in the world. Egypt , Greek, Iran (Persia), Italy (Rome Empire), Turkey (Osman empire), France (Napeleon) Great Britain etc etc


Sorry I din't notice this until after I discussed the above.

The new scan don't show the said hole so they denied that he was murdered the way they said previously and you said now.

According to six of the eight team members, Tutankhamun may have died after a badly broken leg.


About 130 walking sticks found among King Tut's fabulous treasure would support the theory he may have needed a cane to support himself or to help with walking.

You will find next a script of intervie by Ms Tarr Brown on behalf of 60 minutes program in Australian TV channel 9 with Dr Hawass who let the team of the CT invstegation


That suggested that it was accident [probably from speedy chariot] as our teen do with their car now.

I didn't claim the importance for King Tut or give rate for them. My post was in Technology Forum about the using CT scan. But as I studied in History He change his name from Tutankhamun instead of Tutankhatun. Amun and atun (the sun) are names of Gods. That mean he lead important change in relegion.
