The true face of power: This reconstructed image of King Tutankhamun was created by Egyptian historians and the National Geographic Society

Howard Carter, who discovered the Pharaoh's tomb in 1922

Fire: Tutankhamun burst into flame inside his sarcophagus because of a chemical reaction from the chemicals he was embalmed with

Researchers confirmed his body was burnt while sealed in his coffin after testing a fragment of his flesh

Engulfed: This picture shows the boy king's charred feet

Echoes of history: A mummy tissue sample of Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun

Tut was the last of the royal line from the eighteenth dynasty of the New Kingdom, one of the most powerful royal houses of ancient Egypt

Fascination: Tut has long fired the public imagination. He became pharaoh at the age of 10 in 1333 BC and ruled for just nine years until his death

Not only did his skeleton have broken ribs but it was lacking a sternum, breastbone, and heart
