The River Nile is considered Egypt's lifeblood. It's a fertile strip of cool green in a hot desert country. Half an hours drive away and the landscape turns lunar desolate unearthy. The valley of the Kings and the treasures are out of sight. Perhaps most mysterious is tomb 62. The burial chamber of Egypt's youngest pharaoh, King Tutankhamun, the only royal tomb to be found full of priceless artifacts. He lived around three and half thousand years ago. But it was only 82 years ago that he was discovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter. Since then, there's been speculation why the boy king died so young. Speculation that he was murdered for his crown. It's one of the most enduring mysteries of all time.
But Dr. Zahi Hawass says the pharaoh secrets have finally been revealed. The discovery of his tomb in 1922, he was captivated us. He was found with more than 5000 treasures giving the modern world and enchanting glimpse into an incredibly wealthy and sophisticated ancient civilization. Through the use of modern technology, CT scan helped to reveal the mysteries. They collected 1700 3D images in 30 minutes to virtually bring back to life. He was 19 only 5 foot and 6 tall or 168cm. And it's like he was in pain from an impacted wisdom tooth. But beyond that he was healthy. The theory has been one of the political intrigue that this boy who controversially became pharaoh at 9 was murdered by a blow to the head. The CT scan proved the theory wrong. If not murdered and disease what and why so suddenly. Again, the CT scan pinpoints the most likely cause of his death was an accident, King Tuts left leg was broken, allowing an infection to take hold and kill him. King Tut was a sportsman. He enjoyed wine and beer and loved his wife Arkana Samon.
