 IT CREATED CURIOSITY IN OUR MIND TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE BOY KING WHICH PROMPTED US TO DO THIS PRESENTATION.
EXECUTION:-
 ALL COLLECTED ARTICLES, RESOURCES WERE READ AND COMPREHENDED.
 IDEAS WERE ORGANISED.
 PARALLEL SITUATIONS WERE HIGHLIGHTED.
 ROUGH DRAFT PREPARED, EDITED AND FAIR DRAFT DESIGNED.
 IMAGES VISUALS INCORPORATED FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING.
RESOURCES USED:-
CLASS 11TH NCERT ENGLISH TEXTBOOK (HORNBILL)
 INTERNET
 NEWSPAPERS
 ONLINE ARTICLES
LEARNING OUTCOME:-
THE PROJECT EMBEDDED US WITH THE IDEAS LIKE-
 TUT’S BODY AND HOWARD CARTER’S INVESTIGATION.
 WHY THE BOY KING CHANGED HIS NAME FROM TUTANKHATEN TO TUTANKHAMUN?
 RESULT OF THE CT SCAN.
 WHY IS SCIENTIFIC INTERVENTION NECESSARY TO UNEARTH BURIED MYSTERIES?
 HOW ADVANCE TECHNOLOGY GIVES CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF PAST EVENTS?
 TRADITIONS, RITUALS, AND FUNERARY PRACTICES MUST BE RESPECTED.
 WHY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE PAST IS USEFUL TO COMPLETE THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE PRESENT?

REMARKABLY INTACT, WHILE OTHERS HAVE BEEN
DAMAGED FROM TOMB ROBBERY AND ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS.
 ANCIENT TIMES THE EGYPTIANS WERE BURIED DIRECTLY
IN THE GROUND. USUALLY THE BODIES WOULD BE
BURIED IN A COMPACT POSITION.
 TUT WAS CEMENTED TO THE BOTTOM OF HIS GOLD
COFFIN. THE RITUAL RESINS HAD HARDENED.
