Khaled El-Enany Press Statement
http://www.iae-egyptology.org/uploads/Statement_Khaled%20El-Enany.pdf
I was very saddened to hear that Zahi Hawass was no longer
the director of antiquities. When I was a child he was my
idol, I felt extremely
connected with him. But it is time to bring in a new era or
research and preservation. In comes Khaled El-Enany, he
brings technological advancement
and more of a modern day approach to excavation work. In
this press statement you can look over his achievements and
what he hopes to have in store for
the future of Egyptology.

This site shows
the beautiful images captured in 1922 during the excavation
of King Tutankhamun's tomb.
The one fascinating thing about these images is that
they have been colorized so we can be taken back to what
Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon beheld with their own eyes.

This National Geographic sites contains the
facial reconstruction images of the boy king himself.
I remember when this was first released but the

Also look at the shape of his skull, it does appear that
his skull has undergone cranial modification in some
sort.
