AR Williams says, “King Tut is …. in death as in life regally ahead of his countrymen. ’’ How far do you agree with the assertion and why?

Perhaps no other Pharaoh of Egypt has fascinated the public mind so greatly as the boyish King Tutankhamun. Although he died in his teens and ruled for about nine years only, he introduced certain changes during his brief rule. These were significant as they marked restoration of the old ways of the worship of Amun. The unanswered questions about the causes and modes of his death as well as his age at the time of death kept public curiosity alive.

After his death, his body has been a centre of scientific examination. Howard Carter, the British archaeologist discovered Tut’s tomb in 1922. In 1968, an anatomy Professor X-rayed the mummy. The Egyptian Mummy project began an inventory in late 2003. It has so far recorded 600 and is still continuing. The next phase of CT scanning with a portable CT machine began on Jan. 5, 2005. The pride of place went to King Tut, whose mummy was the first one to undergo CT scan. Hence, I fully agree with the assertion.
