INTRODUCTION
The story “Discovering Tut: The Saga
Continues” is written by A.R. William. This
story is all about the detailed description of
the Pharaoh dynasty’s last heir
Tutankhamun. Tutankhamun was a teenage
king who ruled for about 9 years and was a
center of concern because of this
mysterious death. All possible mysteries,
associated with this king’s death are
mentioned in this story.
In this story, a curse, upon the family of
Howard Carter and again mystery about his
death as well is depicted. Technological
advancements and their necessity in
resolving any unsolved mystery are
important parts of this story.
Problem faced by the carter when he
reached the mummy.
Three nested coffins were found by Carter. In
the first, he found the garlands made of leaves
and flowers, but on reaching the mummy, he
got into trouble. Carter found that the ritual
resins had become quite stiff. These had fixed
the body of Tut to the bottom of his solid gold
coffin. Even the sun’s heat could not melt it.
So, Carter decided to remove the solid resins
using a chisel and hammer in order to free the
King’s remains from the coffin. Even they had
to remove Tut’s mummy part by part. Having
taken out the gold coffin, Carter’s men
removed the mummy’s head and cut off every
joint in order to remove the golden ornaments.
Then they reassembled the body parts on a
layer of sand in a wooden box and filled it with
sand to hide the damage they had caused.
Result of the CT scan
Tutankhamun's mummy was the first ever

mummy that underwent a CT scan. As a
result of this CT scan, any mysteries
regarding this young king were solved. The
result states that the confusion regarding
this young king’s death by murder was fully
wrong. A CT scan provides a far better and
more accurate picture of any body parts
than an x-ray. The CT scan result of Tut’s
body presents that the young king may
have suffered a break in his leg. The time of
this accident was just a few days before this
king’s death. The main reason for this king’s
death can be a severe infection in that area.
The mummy of king Tut
As the mummy of King Tut was glided for

performing a CT scan, angry winds stirred,
and dark clouds covered the stars. His scan
was being done to unearth the mysteries
that had surrounded his death.
Tourists had lined to pay their respects to

the ‘mummy’ of the famous Egyptian king
Tutankhamun and made speculations
about his untimely death.
Funerary Treasures
The mummy was in a very bad state, according
to Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of Egypt's
Supreme Council of Antiquities. King Tut’s tomb
was first discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter,
a British archaeologist. Tut was found buried
with numerous “funerary treasures” in a coffin
made of pure gold. The treasures found
included precious collars, inlaid necklaces and
bracelets, rings, amulets, a ceremonial apron,
sandals and sheaths for his fingers and toes.
These treasures are to date the richest royal
collections ever found. Some everyday items
considered to be needed in the afterlife, like
board games, bronze razors, linen
undergarments, cases of food and wine were
also found. This revealed that the ancient
Egyptians believed in the idea of resurrection
and hoped to take their riches with them.
Character Sketch of king Tut
King Tutankhamun, also known as King Tut,

was an Egyptian pharaoh who ruled during the
18th dynasty of the New Kingdom period in
ancient Egypt. He ascended to the throne at a
young age, and his reign was relatively short-
lived, ending with his death at the age of
eighteen or nineteen. He restarted the worship
of Egyptian God Amun. He was also fond of
ancient Egyptian culture and established the
traditional ways once again. Tutankhamun was
considered as the last heir of the powerful
family that ruled Egypt. The cause of his demise
has been a subject of debate among historians
and scientists. Some theories suggest that he
died due to complications from a broken leg,
while others propose the possibility of an
infection or genetic disorders.
Tut’s Family History
Amenhotep III (Tut’s father or grandfather)

ruled for almost four decades during the18th
dynasty golden age. He was succeeded by his
son Amenhotep IV who pioneered one of the
odd periods in the history of ancient Egypt. He
made some drastic and unpleasant changes. He
promoted the worship of the Aten, the sun disk,
and changed his name Akhenaten. He moved
the religious capital to the new city of
Akhenaten. He made some drastic unpleasant
changes. He destroyed the images and temples
of Amun, a major god. After his demise, a ruler
named Shekhara reigned for a brief time.
Finally, Tutankhaten (the name was later
changed to Tutankhamun) took the throne and
restored the old order destroyed by his
predecessors. He reigned for about nine years.
Pyramids And Mummies of
Egypt
When people in Ancient Egypt died, they were

mummified – this was a long process of
preserving the body and designing a coffin with
painted pictures and writing. When the
pharaohs (kings and queens) of Egypt died,
they were mummified and buried in large stone
pyramids. We can still see these pyramids
today.
The process of mummifying and burying a body

was done to help the person travel successfully
through the underworld, which would get them
to the afterlife and the god Osiris, who was king
of the underworld.
Moral of The Story of This
Chapter
The Chapter “Discovering Tut: The Saga

Continues” shows the story of A.R.
Willam whose purpose is to describe the
process of the excavation and studying
of the mummy.
When the grave of Tut was opened up,
the resin was hardened due to the
difficulty of unearthing the body. The
story process showing the discovering
further.
Another Revelation
As the archaeology changed with the
advent of time, it focused more on
details of life and mysteries of death
than on treasures. Some 40 years after
Carter’s discovery, in 1968 a startling
fact was revealed, in the discovery of an
anatomy professor who had X-rayed the
mummy. He claimed that the
breastbone and the front ribs of the
mummy were missing.
Advances Technology that has Improved
in Forensic analysis
Technology has been making a rapid
development. The advancements in
technology are responsible for
improvements in the field of forensic
sciences. From the use of X-rays,
technology has advanced to the use of
advanced Computed Tomography
(commonly known as CT scan). In a CT
scan, hundreds of X-rays are created in
cross-section, like slices. They create a
three-dimensional virtual body with
intricate structures. This change in
forensic analysis has helped in
discovering the mysteries behind
Egyptian mummies.
Curse of Pharaohs
This curse, which does not

differentiate between thieves and
archaeologists, is claimed to cause bad
luck, illness, or death. Since the mid-20th
century, many authors and
documentaries have argued that the
curse is 'real' in the sense of having
scientifically explicable causes such as
bacteria or radiation.
