CT Scans Show What King Tut Looked Like
Wednesday, December 19, 2007
In 2005, using CT scans of his mummified remains, forensic scientists and artists were able to complete the first ever facial reconstructions of
King Tut. The young pharaoh's reconstructed facial composition turned out to be strikingly similar to ancient portraits of him.
"The shape of the face and skull are remarkably similar to a famous image of Tutankhamun as a child where he was shown as the sun god at dawn rising from a lotus blossom," said Zahi Hawass, Secretary-General of the Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities.
