King Tut's mummification

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Egyptologist Salima Ikram says that the style of King Tut's mummification may have been intended to evoke the appearance of Osiris, one of the gods rejected by his father, the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten.
