Aliaa's team have been scanning

The idea here

The scans strip away the paint

on the walls to reveal unusual markings.

This was the main scene,

done while they were painting.

The images show the indented outline

It's caused by the tip of the paintbrush

Despite becoming the most famous
Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt,

Tutankhamun did not
have a lengthy reign.

As Tutankhamun grew older,

he was known to portray
himself as a warrior king,

riding into battle on a chariot.

But the boy king suffered
from multiple illnesses,

including malaria.

He was only 19 years old
when he unexpectedly died.

Aliaa thinks the marks
