TV TONIGHT: Tutankhamun: Reopening The FBI File
  Google It!

The death of Tutankhamun at just 19 years old is a mystery that has baffled us for 3500 years.   In 2002 Mike King and Greg Cooper unearthed evidence that pointed to murder, conspiracy and cover-up.   Now an Egyptian scientific expedition has uncovered evidence that may indicate a natural death, forcing the FBI detectives to re-open their files to determine once and for all how the Egyptian Pharaoh really died.

Wednesday 11th May on five at 19:15 - 21:00 (1 hour and 45 minutes long).

Forensic reconstruction of King Tut shows for the first time what boy pharaoh looked like
  Google It!

The first facial reconstructions of King Tutankhamun based on CT scans of his mummy have produced images strikingly similar to the boy pharaoh's ancient portraits, with one model showing a baby-faced young man with chubby cheeks and his family's characteristic overbite.
