Explain the statement, “King Tut is one of the first mummies to be scanned — in death, as in life…”
Tut's mummy is certainly 'one of the first mummies to be scanned in life as in death'. The purpose of the CT scan was to reveal how the boy king met his unexpected death. The aim was to remove the mist over his mysterious death. The other aim of the scan was to reveal Tut's age at the time of his death.
