Moment of Truth

Before gliding into the CT machine, Tut's mummy gets a quick physical exam from Zahi Hawass (center), secretary general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities. "King Tut is the icon of Egyptian history, but he is only one of thousands of mummies we can study. Through CT scans we can, in a way, bring the dead back to life."
Rumors and theories have circulated about Tut's untimely death ever since Howard Carter discovered his tomb in 1922. X-rays taken in 1968 and 1978 added to the debate. Now high-resolution CT images would probe the mysteries of this pharaoh who ruled more than 3,300 years ago.
