King Tut's Face Unveiled to the World

The face of Egypt's most famous ancient ruler, King Tutankhamun, has been put on public display for the first time. Archaelogists took the mummy from its stone sarcophagus and placed it in a climate controlled case inside his tomb in Luxor's Valley of the Kings. The event comes 85 years to the day after the pharaoh's tomb was discovered by British explorer Howard Carter. Until now, only 50 living people have seen the face of the boy king, who died more than 3,000 years ago. As experts lifted him from his coffin, they briefly set aside the white linen covering his remains, revealing a shrivelled black face and body.
