| Valley of the
Kings, Luxor Dr. Zahi Hawass I am very excited about our scientific mummy project we are now implementing. National Geographic and Siemens donated a CT-Scan machine to the SCA for further research about royal and non royal mummies. |

A top team of the SCA archaeologists, experts in restoration and conservation and radiologists, headed by myself came together to examine the mummy of King Tutankhamun. |
| The current examination revealed that Tut's head is the only well preserved part of the whole mummy, while the rest of the body is in a very bad condition as a result of Carter's attempts to remove Tut's famous golden mask from the mummy's face. |

The mummy was carefully removed from the sarcophagus for the CT-Scan. The results of the scan are now undergoing comprehensive studies in order to decipher the mystery behind the golden king, Tutankhamun. |
