woke up this morning and tuned in to national geographic channel...

Tut: Ressurected

for the second time in history, the mummified remains of Pharaoh Tut Ankh Amun was investigated, and for the first time it was brought out of its tomb in the Valley of the Kings and was put through a CAT scan.

the boy king's remains was first discovered forty years ago and xray photos were taken. the first investigation concluded that he was murdered by a blow in the head. and ever since, various speculations on his death came out...

forty years later, this theory is invalidated with new findings which i hope tells what really happened 3 millenia ago.

forensic experts and scientists this time agreed that it wasn't a deliberate assasination but an open fracture on Tut's knee that ended his life here on earth. yet, they do not know what caused the fracture. they theorize that it was either because of a chariot accident or an injury from a battle with invaders. in the time when antibiotics were not yet discovered, that open fracture became infected, caused fever, and eventually stopped his heart to beat.

at 9, Tut became king. he had a wife, had two kids. at 19, he died. 3000 years later, people have been talking about him.

at 19 Andre is a struggling film student. he is still alive. but 3000 years later, earth might be invaded by alien species.
