He’s the most famous figure in ancient Egyptian history, but there’s still plenty of mystery surrounding King Tut. Who better to clear up a few of them for us than Dr Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities?
Some of the most asked questions about King Tutankhamun have centred around his death, and whether he was murdered. Dr Zahi Hawass enlightens us in this video on how the latest technology has been used to find the answer this question. Using radiology and CT scans to examine the remains of King Tut, science has helped to identify an ancient fracture and a hole in the back of the Boy King's head. This video is the first in a series of videos about King Tutankhamun, so be sure to keep checking back for the next video!
