Cairo: He is one of the most famous of the Egyptian Pharaohs Tutankhamun. In 1922, Howard Carter, an archaeologist from England, discovered Tutankhamun’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings near the city of Luxor on the banks of the Nile. Tutankhamun was pharaoh of Egypt from 1332 BC to 1323 BC.
Obtained from the grave Many remember Tutankhamun by his mask. There may be few who do not want to know what the real face of Tutankhamun looked like. Now researchers from Australia, Italy and Brazil have given new life to Tutankhamun’s face after 3,300 years.
Researchers have released a new digital facial reconstruction of Tutankhamun. Through these pictures, we can understand that Tutankhamun’s face looks like a teenager. The new one is similar to the reconstruction made by the French research team a few years ago. The first attempt to recreate Tutankhamun’s face was made in 1983.
Tutankhamun’s life is still a mystery to the scientific world. 18th Dynasty Tutankhamun is said to have ascended to power when he was eight or nine years old. Tutankhamun died when he was 19 years old. How Tutankhamun died is still a matter of debate.
Causes of death range from broken leg, falling from a vehicle to malaria. Another theory is that Tutankhamun may have had sickle cell anemia. There was a rumor that he might have died from a blow to the head, but that was later proven wrong.
