The mummy of Tutankhamun, who have died in his teens about 3,000 years ago, was discovered in 1922 by the British explorer Howard Carter. Tutankhamun, the king of Egypt's 18th dynasty, ruled the country in 14th century B.C and he had a short reign.

The deaths of some members of Carter's archaeological team following the discovery of the chamber, as well as his sponsor, Earl Carnavon, gave rise to the myth of the "mummy's curse" afflicting the ones who dared to open King Tut's tomb.

On Sunday the mummy was moved from its golden sarcophagus climate-controlled case, where will be better preserved.

In fact the Egyptians archaeologists are quite unhappy about the status of the mummy.

Zahi Hawas, Egypt's chief archaeologist blamed Carter for the "very bad" condition of the king's mummy. He said three-dimensional CAT X-rays and a radio scan, which the mummy underwent in 2004, revealed that it was in a very bad condition and was divided into 18 solid pieces. Carter had removed the mummy from its sarcophagus in 1925 and used sharp tools to remove the golden mask from the mummy's face and more than 100 amulets embedded in the body.

 “It has magic, it has mystery, it has beauty and his buck teeth are similar to the rest of his family's. Putting the mummy in this case will make the golden king live forever.” Hawas said.

The mummy has been X-rayed twice since it was discovered by Howard Carter, once in 1968 by a team from the University of Liverpool under R.G. Harrison, and once in 1978 by J.E. Harris of the University of Michigan.

In 2005, Hawas was the one who conducted the team of the experts who investigated the possible cause of death of the 19-year-old pharaoh. After examining the CT scans the scientists concluded that Tutankhamun died of gangrene after breaking his leg. They didn’t find any signs that the pharaoh was murdered.

According to 2005 findings, Tutankhamun bones, which indicate a slight build, show that he was well-fed and healthy and suffered no major childhood malnutrition or infectious diseases.
