A photo released by the Supreme Council of Antiquities and the National Geographic Society on May 10, 2005, shows a model made of King Tut. Teams of French forensic artists and scientists built models of the boy pharaoh's face based on some 1,700 high-resolution photos from CT scans of his mummy to reveal what he looked like the day he died nearly 3,300 years ago.
