Zoom in on computer screen showing Egyptian team's reconstruction of King Tut's head using the CT scan information obtained in January (one of three teams to do a reconstruction, the other teams were French and US) \u003cbr/\u003eModels and masks of King Tut Ankh Amum at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo show a close resemblence to recently produced facial reconstructions of the young king.\u003cbr/\u003eThree teams, one from the US, one from Egypt, and one from France, all produced reconstructions based on a CT scan carried out in Luxor in January.\u003cbr/\u003eThe latest one to be released, thought to be the most accurate, was from the French team.\u003cbr/\u003eDr. Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, who was present when the scan on Tut's mummy was carried out, was very excited by the use of the new forensic techniques, and said that all the mummies will now undergo scans.\u003cbr/\u003eHawass is leading a five-year project to scan all of Egypt's known mummies - including royal mummies now exhibited at the Cairo Museum.\u003cbr/\u003eEventually, each mummy will be displayed alongside CT images and a facial reconstruction.\u003cbr/\u003eThe first CT scan facial reconstructions of King Tutankhamun's mummy have produced images strikingly similar to the boy pharaoh's ancient portraits and models, which show a baby-faced young man with chubby cheeks and his family's characteristic overbite.\u003cbr/\u003eThe French reconstruction, a photo of which was released on Tuesday, bears a strong resemblance to the gold mask of King Tut found in his tomb in 1922 during the British excavation led by Howard Carter.\u003cbr/\u003eThree teams of forensic artists and scientists - from France, the United States and Egypt - each built a model of the boy pharaoh's face\u003cbr/\u003ebased on some 1,700 high-resolution photos from CT scans of his mummy to reveal what he looked like the day he died nearly 3,300 years ago.\u003cbr/\u003eThe CT scans - the first done on an Egyptian mummy - have suggested King Tut was a healthy, yet slightly built 19-year-old, standing 5 feet,\u003cbr/\u003e6 inches tall at the time of his death. \u003cbr/\u003eThe three teams created their reconstructions separately - the Americans and French working from a plastic skull, the Egyptians working directly from the CT scans, which could distinguish different densities of soft tissue and bone.\u003cbr/\u003eThe French and Egyptians knew they were recreating King Tut, but the Americans were not even told where the skull was from and correctly\u003cbr/\u003eidentified it as a Caucasoid North African, the council said in a statement.\u003cbr/\u003eThe French and American models, seen in photos released by the Council, are similar - with the Americans' plaster model sharing the\u003cbr/\u003emore realistic, French silicone version's receding chin and prominent upper lip. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Egyptian reconstruction has a more prominent nose and a stronger jaw and chin.\u003cbr/\u003eThe scans were carried out on January 5 in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, where Tut's leathery mummy was briefly removed from its tomb and\u003cbr/\u003eplaced into a portable CT scanner.\u003cbr/\u003eThe tests provided an unprecedented look at Egypt's most famous mummy - but they did not resolve the mystery of the death of King Tut, who came to power at age 9.\u003cbr/\u003eThey were able to dismiss a long held theory that Tut, who died around 1323 B.C., was murdered by a blow to his skull or killed in an accident that crushed his chest. \u003cbr/\u003eIt raised a new possibility for the cause of death: Some experts on the scanning team said it appeared Tut broke his left thigh severely _ puncturing his skin - just days before his death, and the break could have caused an infection.\u003cbr/\u003eThe life of Tutankhamun - believed to have been the 12th ruler of ancient Egypt's 18th dynasty - has fascinated people since his tomb was\u003cbr/\u003ediscovered in 1922, revealing a trove of fabulous treasures in gold and precious stones that showed the wealth and craftsmanship of the pharaonic court.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
