Tutankhamun, also known as King Tut, was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty who reigned from c. 1332–1323 BC. His tomb, discovered by Howard Carter in 1922, contained a wealth of artifacts and the well-preserved mummy of the young pharaoh. Studies suggest he may have died from an infected leg fracture combined with malaria, and there is ongoing investigation into whether he died in battle, with theories of hidden chambers in his tomb possibly containing Queen Nefertiti's burial.

2. KING TUT AND HIS NAME
• Tutankhamun was an
Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th
dynasty (ruled c. 1332–1323 BC in
the conventional chronology), during
the period of Egyptian history known
as the New Kingdom or sometimes the
New Empire Period. He has, since the
discovery of his intact tomb, been
referred to colloquially as King Tut. His
original name, Tutankhaten, means
"Living Image of Aten", while
Tutankhamun means "Living Image
of Amun".

3. DISCOVERY OF KING TUT
• The 1922 discovery by Howard Carter of
Tutankhamun's nearly intact tomb, funded by Lord
Carnarvon, received worldwide press coverage. When
Carter first arrived in Egypt in 1891, most of the ancient
Egyptian tombs had been discovered, though the little-
known King Tutankhamen, who had died when he was
18, was still unaccounted for. After World War I, Carter
began an intensive search for “King Tut’s Tomb,” finally
finding steps to the burial room hidden in the debris near
the entrance of the nearby tomb of King Ramses VI in the
Valley of the Kings.

4. • On November 26, 1922, Carter and fellow
archaeologist Lord Carnarvon entered the interior
chambers of the tomb, finding them miraculously
intact. Thus began a monumental excavation process
in which Carter carefully explored the four-room
tomb over several years, uncovering an incredible
collection of several thousand objects. The most
splendid architectural find was a stone sarcophagus
containing three coffins nested within each other.
Inside the final coffin, which was made out of solid
gold, was the mummy of the boy-king Tutankhamen,
preserved for more than 3,000 years.

7. RESEARCHES ON HIS APPEARANCE
• Tutankhamun was slight of build, and was
roughly 180 cm (5 ft 11 in) tall. He had large
front incisors and an overbite characteristic of
the Thutmosid royal line to which he belonged.
Between September 2007 and October 2009,
various mummies were subjected to detailed
anthropological, radiological, and genetic
studies as part of the King Tutankhamun Family
Project. The research showed that
Tutankhamun also had "a slightly cleft
palate" and possibly a mild case of scoliosis, a
medical condition in which the spine deviates
to the side from the normal position.

8. REASONS FOR KING TUT’S DEATH
• It was believed that he was murdered or assassinated for some
of the reasons.A CT scan taken in 2005 showed that he had
suffered a compound left leg fracture shortly before his death,
and that the leg had become infected. DNA analysis conducted
in 2010 showed the presence of malaria in his system, leading
to the belief that malaria and Köhler disease II combined led to
his death. As at March 2018, there has been recent theory that
some of the tomb images of Tutankhamun leading an army to
war, depict truth, and that he died in battle in Syria.There is
strong suspicion that in the north wall of Tutankhamun's tomb
chamber is a doorway, blocked and hidden by decorated plaster,
leading to another chamber, which may contain a burial
of Nefertiti. There are plans to investigate by drilling a narrow
hole through the supposed blockage and sending a camera
through it.

9. HYDRAULIC LIFTS
• An elevator operated by fluid pressure, especially one used for
raising automobiles in service stations and garages. Different
types of hydraulic lift systems are available, including scissor
lifts, two-post lifts, four-post lifts, carousel lifts and mezzanine
lifts. All hydraulic lifts use hydraulic pressure as the motive
force. In many cases, hydraulic lifts are powered by air
compressors. These air compressors pressurize the hydraulic
oil, allowing it to lift the associated load. If the air compressor
has not had sufficient time to pressurize the hydraulic fluid,
the lift will not function. Other hydraulic lifts use an electric
motor driven pump or a fuel motor driven pump to pressurize
the fluid.

11. SCANS TOOK ON THE MUMMY OF
KING TUT.
Medical scientists used a “state-of-the-
art CAT-scanner” to perform initial
radiological analysis on Tut Scientists
may have discovered Tut’s cleft palate
and club foot using X-ray scans.
Scientists also used bore needles to
collect samples. Those samples – which
were particularly well-preserved thanks
to the ancient Egyptians’ masterful
mummification – contain the real
treasure for scientists: DNA.
