King Tut: Still dead, but now they know why…

By Ron Rollins | Tuesday, February 16, 2010, 05:48 PM

This may be of interest to any of you who attended the big Egyptian art show at the Dayton Art Institute a few years back… This study into what may have killed King Tut was led by Zahi Hawass, the head of antiquities in that country who curated the show that came to Dayton and visited here to give a talk at the museum.

Here’s the story. Bottom line: Malaria, with lots and lots of unfortunate complications. Interesting stuff.

Steve Martin will no doubt be pleased to find that he is no longer a suspect…
