Then the world discovered that this King was very young and beautiful when he died and only nine years old when he became King. His magic was so powerful his tomb was protected for over three thousand years leaving a mostly intact tomb filled with the most wonderful things.

An ancient Egyptian spell inscribed on the sides of many tombs begs the passer-by to “Speak the name of the dead to make them live again...” We hear or see Tut’s name almost everyday, with the current blockbuster tour of his Treasures, just opening in Philadelphia at the Franklin Institute, other exhibits, the many documentaries on the History and other channels, and books on Egypt and King Tut, along with impetuous speculations, like “Who Murdered King Tut?”, spurred by many of the unanswered mysteries surrounding this long-dead King.

I say long-dead, but surely Tutankhamen lives again as his name is almost constantly spoken.

How can this King who lived and died over three thousand years ago still exert his magical powers?
