In the News:
Tut Not Murdered? - Last month Zahi Hawass, Egypt's top archaeologist,
announced that results of a computer tomography (CT) scan of King's Tut's
remains did not support the idea that he had been killed by a blow to
the back of the head. The scan also indicated that he did not suffer a
sever injury to the chest either, a theory advanced by some archeologists.
What the scan did find, according to Hawass, was that the King had suffered
a fracture to the left thighbone within a few days of his death. While
such an injury would normally not be fatal, if it were accompanied by
a break in the skin, an infection might have set in with terminal results.
The team that examined the remains pointed out that the leg fraction might also have been done accidentally by the embalmers after death. If so, Tut's demise at such a young age still remains a mystery. In the end, even murder cannot not be completely ruled out if the King were done in by poison.
