Pharaoh Teen Tut wasn’t murdered, scan reveals
08/03/2005 - 11:05:14Egyptian King Tutankhamun was not murdered 3,500 years ago, a CT scan on his mummified remains has revealed.
But he may have suffered a badly broken leg shortly before his death at the age of 19 – a wound that could have become infected, said Zahi Hawass, Egypt’s leading archaeologist.
He announced the results of the CT scan about two months after it was performed on Tut’s mummy.
