    In 1968, an anatomy professor X-rayed Tutankhamun's mummy and discovered that his breastbone and front ribs were missing, indicating his chest had been surgically opened. Modern CT scans allow researchers to digitally slice mummies and view their internal structures in 3D. This seminar will examine Tutankhamun's mummy through such scans to determine how he died and his age at death.

    In 1968, more than 40 years after


    Carter’s discovery, an anatomy
    professor X-rayed the mummy and
    revealed a startling fact: beneath the
    resin that cakes his chest, his breast-
    bone and front ribs are missing.

    Today diagnostic imaging can


    be done with computed
    tomography, or CT, by which
    hundreds of X-rays in cross
    section are put together like
    slices of bread to create a three-
    dimensional virtual body.

    how old was he at the
    time of his death?
