Twins. Barbra has Egyptian ancestry? or does the young King Tut have Hebrew ancestry?
Probably will look like the would-be boy-king Edwards.
No say! Assad's momma let him sleep too much on his back, hence the nickname of "Flathead"....Tut's got a bullethead.

What? Did Helen Thomas find her high school yearbook?
Whoa.
King Tut was Barbara Streisand. I was unprepared for that.

The mystery behind the sudden death of Tutankhamun, the boy king who ruled Egypt more than 3,000 years ago, may have been finally solved by scientists who believe that he fell from a fast-moving chariot while out hunting in the desert.
Speculation surrounding Tutankhamun's death has been rife since his tomb was broken into in 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter. X-rays of the mummy taken in 1968 indicated a swelling at the base of the skull, suggesting "King Tut" was killed by a blow to the head.
More recent studies using a CT medical scanner, however, revealed he suffered a badly broken leg, just above his knee just before he died. That in turn probably led to lethal blood poisoning. Now further evidence has come to light suggesting that he suffered the fracture while hunting game from a chariot.
The new findings are still circumstantial but one of Egypt's leading experts on Tutankhamun will say in a television documentary to be screened this week that he believes the case is now solved on how the boy king met his sudden and unexpected end.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Yeah! That was my first thought when I saw the header, “Tutankhamun’s True Face To Be Revealed.”
Again?
The Independent says Tut died in a hunting accident, not as a result of murder:

See post #48.
We know what you are Zahi, now we are just haggling over the price...
Gee Siv,haven’t you seen Brittany Spears with her head shaved?!
Ewwww, I don't want to see it!
hyper cool!
thanks.
OK.
No sweat.
There's a couple Spitfires still sitting around, a bunch of guys in tall fur hats, horses, and maybe we can get Boy George to stand in for a couple of sets.
When you realize that Iraq and Saudi Arabia have the oil, Syria and Iran have the missiles, and Egypt has..................
Give us a call and we'll see if the androgynous 'boy king' will fit into the schedule.
Ta!

Heh... yeah, I’m sure Zahi will be overjoyed about that. Karma chameleon, Zowie.

here’s the one I was really looking for, shows Tut using a walking stick, perhaps an image from after his injury?

The large double columnade inside the temple was erected by Tut, as his cartouche is found near the top of at least one of the columns; the other instances of his cartouche were recarved in the 19th dynasty so that Ramses II “the Great” could take credit for their construction. Because the surviving Tut cartouche is so close to what was the ceiling, either it was missed in the dark, or no one cared to climb up, or even, possibly, to make sure the real builder was accorded proper credit. It’s the taller one shown in this image:
