Read the following passages and select the most appropriate options as answers to the questions given below them:After Akhenaten’s death, a mysterious ruler named Smenkhkare appeared briefly and exited with hardly a trace. And then a very young Tutankhaten took the throne – King Tut as he’s widely known today. The boy king soon changed his name to Tutankhamun, ‘living image of Amun’, and oversaw a restoration of the old ways. He reigned for about nine years-and then died unexpectedly.Regardless of his fame and the speculations about his fate, Tut is one mummy among many in Egypt. How many? No one knows. The Egyptian Mummy Project, which began an inventory in late 2003, has recorded almost 600 so far and is still counting. The next phase: scanning the mummies with a portable CT machine donated by the National Geographic Society and Siemens, its manufacturer.
