NEW FILM EXPOSES KING TUT
A top documentarian has solved the 3,000-year-old mystery of what killed = Egyptian king Tutankhamen with the help of high-tech science.
Brando Quilici worked with top researchers, using DNA tests and CT scan= s, to determine King Tut’s cause of death - and came to the conclusion th= e legendary pharoah died of complications of a broken leg and malaria.
The life and death of King Tut has puzzled scholars the world over ever= since his tomb was discovered in 1922.
Quilici’s King Tut Unwrapped film will also unearth other medical findi= ngs about the ancient Egyptian - like the fact he suffered from a cleft p= alate and had a club foot.
The filmmaker created cigarette-sized cameras to capture the precise wo= rk of the researchers as they tested the DNA on a royal Egyptian mummy fo= r the first time.
Quilici says, "King Tut is such a famous name but so little is known ab= out him; we just knew when he was born and when he died. So now, thanks t= o the DNA, (leading Egyptologist) Dr. Zahi Hawass was able to identify th= e father… who is an extremely well-known pharoah, called Akhenaten. It’= s very important because he’s the first Egyptian pharoah… who started t= o believe in one single god." The study featured in the documentary also unearths the fact that Tutan= khamen’s parents were siblings and that his stepmother was fabled queen N= efertiti.
