50、Cairo,Egypt,decided to find out if that was true.The group was led by an Egyptian archaeologist,Zahi Hawass.The researchers studied King Tuts mummy with an advanced X-ray technique called CT(CAT)scanning.A CT scanner takes numerous X-rays of an object from different angles.The X-ray information is p
