The Saga Continues
● King tut died in early teenage and was from a very powerful ruling family. King tuts body was discovered in a tomb at the
year 1992. People who found this body was suspicious and soon all of them came to a conclusion that he was murdered. He
was eventually taken out by them. He was leaving the tomb after 80 years, he was to be taken to a CT scan that day. While
people took him out of it, the climatic conditions around the tomb worsened, with black clouds high wind ETC. His cemetery
was called as the VALLEY OF KINGS.

● Before taking for a the CT scan:-

● All afternoon there used to be visitors who went to the rock cut tomb which was 26 feet underground to see the king and his
belongings. He had a coffin which was fully made of gold. People who came to see him stood by this side staring and
whispering each other whether he was murdered or his death was a natural one. Some even whispered the Pharos curse which
said that those who disturb him will face misfortune or will be dead. The curse was indeed true.
● Once Zahi Hawass, the secretary general of Egypt's supreme council of antiquities said that, the mummy is in a bar condition
today due to a person called Carter, an archeologist. He took this body from the coffin. He was the first to see the tomb. Soon
after many discoveries, he found out that his family was the richest amongst the richest even in the present era. Tut was
covered by full gold and had this jeweler, board games, dress and other essentials near him so that one day He hopes to wake
up and find his needs. Carter also investigated his finery treasure. He later investigated 3 nested coffins.

● The first coffin contained full of flowers and leaves which only grew in the month of April and May. So it was sure that the
coffin was buried in April or May months. Then he reached the bottom of the coffin and reached till the mummy, but due to
some Egyptian rituals about which he had no idea made the King to get stuck in the coffin, which made it impossible to take
the body properly. In ancient Egypt sun is used to hammer this and carter tried to use this method for loosening its resins. He
then set the mummy out of in the blazing sunshine that heated to 149 Fahrenheit. Still no use. He then reported the scientific
detachment that the material should be chiseled away from beneath the limbs and trunk before the King Can be taken out.
They broke this body parts and joint one by one. He did it that day itself because the area was thief prone and they might
steal it. They then dispatched the whole body and assembled each and every body parts in a wooden Box covered with Sand
where he rests now.

● As of today, a CT scan could help to find out the age and cause of this death technology have developed.

● During his death. There was a huge ceremony which was very grand because he was the last of the ruling family and the last
person of his dynasty and what happened to the dynasty later is Unknown.

nine years he was also known as KING TUT.

● Regardless of this name and speculations about this fate there were many mummies in Egypt around 2000 and only 600 were
only found.
The Ending
● A CT machine scans the mummies head to the toe, creating 1700 digital x-ray. Specialized people came to analyze it. At the
night of the scan workmen carried tut from the tomb in this box. They took it outside where it was harsh.

● 20 minutes later 2 Men emerged, sprinted for an office nearby and returned with a pair of White plastic fans, the million
dollar scanner had quit due to Sand in cooler fans. Curse of the Pharaoh says the guard.

● The substitute fans worked well to finish the procedure. After checking it, no data have been lost. Tut was then taken back to
the tomb and he rested. They checked the scans. Looking at every bit of It carefully. Zahi Hawass smiled saying that there
was nothing which had gone wrong.

● Then the wind stopped. Things started to settle. Just above the tuts tomb stood ORION which was the constellation that the
ancient Egyptians knew as the soul of Osiris, the god of the afterlife who watches over the bot king.
