King Tut's face picture, a screen snap from BBC's video report
Not until today November 4, 2007, the Egyptian government has unveiled King Tutankhamun's face. The mummy is currently put on public view by placing in a climate-controlled case inside his tomb in Luxor's Valley of the Kings.
"The golden boy has magic and mystery and therefore every person all over the world will see what Egypt is doing to preserve the golden boy, and all of them I am sure will come to see the golden boy," said Egypt's antiquities chief Zahi Hawass .
King Tutankhamun, or King Tut, is one of Egypt's most famous ancient rulers. He was possibly in his teens when he died. The boy king's tomb was discovered by British explorer Howard Carter in 1922. King Tut's 3000-year-old face was seen by only about 50 living people in the past 85 years. Source: BBC Tags:
