Even today, Tutankhamun remains a mystery. When I mention his name, excitement fills the air because the press is fascinated by him. I, myself, have been quite happy to undertake various projects regarding the Golden Boy. I will never forget when I arrived at the Valley of the Kings in order to move Tut's mummy from the sarcophagus to a display case for restoration. Reporters from around the world were waiting to see the Boy King. For the latest project, I went to the University of Cairo and met with my friend Ahmed Samen, dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Cairo University. Faculty members cooperated with the SCA to carry out a CT-scan and to examine, for the first time, the foetuses buried with King Tut. Many stories have surrounded these foetuses over the years. Fawzi Gaballa, who has been taking good care of them, considers them to be the king's babies. Before I met Samen, I investigated the story of their discovery.

Derry and Carter took the mummy out of the tomb and placed it in the sun in the hope that the heat would melt the resin, but the mask never left the mummy. They then took the sarcophagus to the tomb of Seti II; their temporary laboratory.
