CAIRO (AP).- Egypt will soon reveal the
results of DNA tests made on the world’s most famous ancient king, the young
Pharaoh Tutankhamun, to answer lingering mysteries over his
lineage, the antiquities department said this past Sunday. Speaking at
a conference, archaeology chief Zahi Hawass said he would announce the results
of the DNA tests and the CAT scans on Feb. 17. The results will be compared to
those made of King Amenhotep III, who may have been Tutankamun’s grandfather.
