TourEgypt.net have a good article about the various theories surrounding the death of Tutankhamun, coming right up to date with the latest CT scan evidence and the recent suggestions of gangrene.

...the most recent findings on the death of King Tut (Tutankhamun) seem to conclusively indicate that he died of natural causes, rather than being murdered.   Specifically, the latest report is that he died of gangrene caused by a broken leg.

There was more than a little reason to believe that King Tut may have been murdered.   The two principal suspects, Aye who succeeded him as king, and General Horemheb who in turn succeeded Aye to the throne, both appear to have been powerful men who, in effect, ruled Egypt while King Tut was a child.   It would not be unreasonable at all to believe that, as King Tut grew into a young man, the two elder men would have resented losing much of their power...

In recent weeks, the level of debate on the Tour Egypt's Message Center, on the issue of the return of Egyptian antiquities from abroad has intensified.   The discussion has often been emotional and the two points of view never conciliated.   An expert's view and a cool debate were needed, on this and other Egyptology issues.

Dr. Neal Spencer, Assistant Keeper of the Department of Ancient Egypt and the Sudan at the British Museum knows the situation well, having worked at the museum for six years and himself involved in a current excavation project in Egypt.   He believes that the issue of claiming back ancient objects has not been raised officially, and when raised it relates mainly to objects exported out of Egypt after 1970...

International Heritage Day on 18 April is an important date for archaeologists all over the world.   UNESCO established this special day to celebrate worldwide cultural heritage.   I do not understand why the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) has not celebrated this day until this year.   In spite of the fact that Egypt has worked with UNESCO in an international campaign to save the Nubian temples after the construction of the Aswan High Dam, and also worked with the organisation to save the temple of love and romance, Philae.   This year the day is even more special because we have created a gold medal which will be awarded by the SCA to an individual who has contributed in saving an Egyptian monument from destruction.   We have chosen Farouk Hosni...

The River Nile, handwriting, handicrafts, faith and ethnography are the main themes of the planned National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation.   Nevine El-Aref sees the progress in action.

The roar of a dozen trucks and the hum of hundreds of engineers, archaeologists and workmen break the customary silence of Ain Al-Sira Lake in the heart of the site of Egypt's first Islamic capital.   Workmen in yellow helmets mix concrete and ferry steel bars across the 32-feddan site as builders lay the foundations of the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation. The museum will be ready to open in about three years.

The site is aptly chosen. In addition of being the neighbour of Salaheddin Citadel and Old Cairo's religious- antiquities-rich core with its Amr Ibn Al-Aas Mosque, Hanging Church and Beni- Ezra synagogue, it is located in the core of Fustat city...

And now it's Al-Ahram's turn.   More on the Tutankhamun facial reconstruction.

Three thousand years after being immortalised behind an exquisite golden funerary mask, Tutankhamun's genuine facial features have been revealed.   Nevine El-Aref sees the Pharaoh's face.

Since Howard Carter's discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, mention of the pharaoh's name conjures up a single, abiding image -- that of his golden funeral mask, one of the great icons of stasis.   But what did Tutankhamun really look like?

Long a mystery, the boy-king's death, health and original facial features are at last beginning to be unraveled by scientists, artists and archaeologists.

Using 1,700 high-resolution CT-scan images, an Egyptian scientific team has...
