King Tut's mummy was taken out of its tomb for a CT scan in 2005. The scan was done to help researchers learn more about Tutankhamun's health and cause of death. The scan revealed that Tutankhamun had a number of health problems, including a fractured skull, a cleft palate, and a club foot. The scan also showed that Tutankhamun died from a combination of factors, including malaria and a bone infection.
The CT scan of Tutankhamun's mummy was a major breakthrough in the study of ancient Egypt. It provided researchers with a wealth of new information about Tutankhamun's life and death. The scan also helped to dispel some of the myths and legends that have surrounded Tutankhamun for centuries.
