3 A top team of the SCA archaeologists, experts in restoration and conservation and radiologists, headed by myself came together to examine the mummy of King Tutankhamun.

4 Inside King Tut's tomb, Zahi Hawass (center), head of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, looks on as the 3,300-year-old mummy is removed from its sarcophagus, Jan. 5, 2005.

6 The mummy was carefully removed from the sarcophagus for the CT-Scan. The results of the scan are now undergoing comprehensive studies in order to decipher the mystery behind the golden king, Tutankhamun.

7 The mummy of King Tut is prepared for scanning. The CT scan took place outside Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor, Egypt.

9 The current examination revealed that Tut's head is the only well preserved part of the whole mummy, while the rest of the body is in a very bad condition as a result of Carter's attempts to remove Tut's famous golden mask from the mummy's face.
