King Tut's Final Secrets airs tomorrow (Sunday 15th May 2005) night at 9:00PM ET/PT on the National Geographic Channel in the USA.

This show airs in the UK and Canada as part of Pharaoh's Week as King Tut's Curse, see next post.

He is the most famous Egyptian king in history.   Since his tomb was discovered in 1922, King Tutankhamun and the circumstances surrounding his death have been a source of intrigue worldwide.   Why did the famed "boy king" die so young?   Was he murdered?   And what did he really look like?

Join the high-tech forensic investigation that unveils new findings related to the death of King Tut and the first-ever reconstruction of his face and head using revolutionary 3-D CT scan imaging that reveals what he looked like the day he died.   Dr. Zahi Hawass, a leading archaeologist and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence and a team of Egyptian scientists remove the mummy from its sarcophagus for the first time in more than 25 years.   The goal: use state of the art CT scan technology to solve the mystery surrounding King Tut's death.   Follow the scientific team as they refine the technique of using the CT scanner on Egypt's most high-profile mummy.   The CT scan finds loose bones inside King Tut's skull, severed ribs and a fractured left leg with a missing kneecap.   Was he murdered?   Or was he hurt in battle?   Does the newly discovered broken leg offer clues to his death?   King Tut's Final Secrets attempts to solve the mystery.

The scans also provide a blueprint for reconstructing what King Tut actually looked like.   Working separately, two paleosculptors use a "digital skull" from the scan to map the angles and dimensions of a face and transform the raw data into a life-like silicone bust.   But, only one knows to whom the famous face actually belongs.   Their results will be compared as National Geographic Channel reveals the first complete picture of what King Tut really looked like.
