  11. Valley of the Kings • Decorations in the tombs vary greatly. Usually the sacred texts cover the walls and sarcophagus, collectively known as the 'Books of the Dead'. The text, was intended to aid the deceased, on his journey through the netherworld.

  12. 1325 B.C. • Around 1325BC, King Tutankhamen was buried in the Valley of the Kings. In 1922 his tomb was discovered.

  13. Movin’ Tut • Inside King Tutankhamun’s tomb in Egypt, in January 2005, Zahi Hawass, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, removes padding to reveal the mummy. www.nationalgeographic.com

  14. Tut is prepared for CT scanning in a specially equipped van on January 5, 2005.Detailed scans found no physical evidence of murder, Hawass said afterwards. But the scans did reveal unusual features, including a broken leg, which some experts think may have led to the boy king's death.

  15. Extreme makeover? • French forensic anthropologist Jean-Noël Vignal's "skull map" was used to make this silicone-skinned reconstruction of Tut's face.

  16. Forensic sculptor Elisabeth Daynès used tissue-depth information to lay clay over plastic skull models. She then added layers of fleshlike silicone, estimating the king’s eyebrow thickness and approximate shape and size of the nose, lips, and ears.

  17. “Abbey” in hieroglyphics. Don’t worry…you’ll get to make yours too!
