What will you imagine as you read the above title? Yes, you will be imagining the horror stories that you've read or seen in fiction. However the reality related to this topic is that the face of the most ancient King of Egypt Tutankhamun, is back to the public once again.

The face of Egypt's most famous ancient ruler, King Tutankhamun, has been put on public display for the first time on November 4th 2007. This event was happened after 85 years since the 3,000-year-old boy pharaoh's golden enshrined tomb and mummy were discovered in Luxor's famed Valley of the Kings.

Archaeologists removed the mummy from his stone sarcophagus in his underground tomb and placed it in a climate-controlled case. They momentarily pulled aside a white linen covering to reveal a shriveled leathery black face and body. Until now, only about 50 living people have seen the face of the boy king, who died more than 3,000 years ago.

The mystery surrounding King Tutankhamun and his glittering gold tomb has entranced ancient Egypt fans since Carter first discovered the hidden tomb on Nov. 4, 1922. Although in life he was of only moderate historical significance, in death Tutankhamun achieved worldwide fame thanks to the virtually intact state of his tomb

The centrepiece of the tomb was the pharaoh's mummified body, covered in amulets and jewels and wearing a solid gold burial mask. Suprisingly the CT scans of his mummy have produced images strikingly similar to the boy pharaoh's ancient portraits.

Now for the first time the dead mummies are coming alive!
