| A team of experts expects to announce in March whether the latest test results on the mummified body of Tutankhamun will provide evidence for the theory that the boy pharaoh was murdered. Zahi Hawass, head of the Egyptian government's Supreme Council for Antiquities, told Reuters that results from a high tech x-ray scan of the mummy would help explain a bone chip in the skull that has sparked the murder theory... The butler did it. |

| #7 Whoops. My boo. CIS is "Criminal Investigative Service", the Army's investigative police; CSI is the "Crime Scenes Investigation", which is the name of the series, though I don't know if it is an official civilian police designation. |

| #6 Sgt.D.T., it has been a veeeery long time since my TV was on (playing DVDs does not count). In fact, 3 years +. CSI or CIS does not matter to me either way. |

| #5 The butler probably did do it. Servants could be bribed to let assassins in or to poison the food or the massage oil or the perfume. Ahkenaton threw out the Amon and other priesthoods in order to establish worship of one god, the sun disk, the Aton. The Amon priesthood was just as crooked in its own way as the Renaissance Papacy, and was as omnipresent and powerful too; and it did not take kindly to reformation. When Akhenaton died without an adult heir, his reforms died with him. It was very easy for the politicians and the Amon priesthood to cow a nine year old kid, and any signs of independent thinking from a young monarch on the verge of manhood would be a most serious threat. |

| #3 Thanks to both of you for the enlightenment. I thought it had something to with Johnny Carson's character, the Great Karnak, who provided questions to predetermined answers. For example: A: A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Q: What were some of the earlier forms of Preparation H? |

| #2 Steve, that would be Karnak, Egypt. Karnak was a central temple area within Thebes, teeming with plotting Amun priests. Although Tut was a convert to Amun cult from his father's Aton heresy, he was still seen as an affront to the Amun hierarchy, a spawn of the "devil". That's why "C.I.S. Karnak". |

| #1 What does a karnak have to do with King Tut? |
