- King Tut's mummy was the first mummy to be CT scanned to ascertain the secret of his death, by a
portable scanner donated by National Geographic Society and Siemens, its manufacturer.
- On the night of the scan, workmen him from the tomb to the scanner.
- Initially the scanner could not function properly because of sand in the cooler fan but soon all the
hurdles were crossed and after the scan, the King was returned to his coffin to rest in peace.
- After their observations, when the technicians left, the wind had stopped and there was complete
silence. Just above the entrance to King Tut's tomb stood Orion, the constellation watching over the boy
king.
