    A.R. Williams developed a love for reading at a very young age and
    in the fourth grade, when an assignment to write their own
    works of fiction was given, it occurred to him that he could craft
    tales for others to enjoy.
    A.R. Williams’ work has appeared in Heroic Fantasy Quarterly,
    Three Crow Press, and Every Day Fiction. A.R. received an
    honorable mention in the fourth quarter of the Writers of the
    Future Contest in 2010.
    --- This is an article written by A.R.Williams,
    regarding the famous and powerful pharaoh
    Tutankhamun or popularly known as Tut.
    Tut was the last heir to the powerful throne of
    Egypt. He had died at a young age of
    around 15 years. His death has been
    speculated since then with murder being the
    most possible reason.
    • Tut's tomb was discovered by Howard Carter, a
    British archaeologist, in the year 1922 in
    Egypt.
    • Along withs coffin were other items of
    daily use like board games, a bronze razor ,
    linen undergarments , food and wine .
    After that Carter started investigating the
    three coffins .The first one contained
    shroud adorned with garlands, lotus petals,
    olives and cornflowers.The last coffin
    contained Tut's body cemented to the
    bottom of his solid gold coffin due to the
    hardening of the ritual resins.
    • They tried to use the sun's heat to loosen the
    resins but their efforts went in vain. Then Carter
    ordered his men to remove the mummy's head
    and to severe nearly every major joint and
    reassemble them on a sand layer.
    • After more than 40 years in 1968,an anatomy
    professor X-rayed the mummy and it revealed
    that beneath the resins his breastbone and front
    ribs were missing.
    --- A CT(Computed tomography)
    machine, sponsored by the National
    Geographic Society and Siemens
    (manufacturer) scanned Tut's body from
    top to bottom, creating 1,700 digital
    X-ray images
    The story gives an insight into the
    mystery surrounding the life and death
    of Tutankhamun, the last teenage ruler
    of the powerful Pharaoh dynasty that
    had ruled Egypt for centuries. He was
    the last of his family’s line, and his funeral
    brought an end to this powerful dynasty.
    Not much is known about his family.
    Tut’s father or grandfather, Amenhotep
    III was a powerful pharaoh who ruled for
    about four decades during the dynasty’s
    golden age. His son, Amenhotep IV
    shocked the country by attacking Amun,
    a major God, smashing his images and
    closing all his temples. He changed his
    name to Akhenaten and promoted the
    worship of Aten or the sun disk.
    After his death, a mysterious ruler, Smenkhkare
    appeared briefly and exited with hardly a trace. When
    Tut took over, he changed his name from
    Tutankhaten to Tutankhamun and restored the old
    ways. However, Tut ruled for nine years and then
    died mysteriously and unexpectedly. In order to unravel
    the mystery of his death, King Tut’s mummy was
    scanned after a thousand years, thus opening new
    perceptions regarding the cause of his death.
    Tut’s mummy was scanned in 2005
    under the supervision of Zahi
    Hawass, Secretary General of
    Egypt’s Supreme Council of
    Antiquities. The Computed
    Tomography Scan couldn’t solve the
    mysterious death of Tut but gave us
    clues for sure.
    The lesson also provides a
    comprehensive awareness of ancient
    Egyptian culture. The ancient
    Egyptians believed that there was
    life after death. That is why the
    Pharaohs were buried with the
    tremendous amount of wealth
    including things of daily use so that
    they could use them in their life after
    death.
