CT scans of Tutankhamun's mummy

CT scans of Tutankhamun’s mummy use advanced X-ray technology to create detailed, three-dimensional images without unwrapping or damaging the tomb. These scans reveal the mummy’s internal structure, showing the skull, bones, and any artifacts inside. By examining these images, researchers can identify injuries, health issues, or the cause of death, as well as understand burial practices and preservation methods. CT scanning provides a non-invasive way to study ancient mummies, offering valuable insights into Tutankhamun’s life and death while respecting his preserved remains.
