    Clearly state the “mystery” and provide a brief summary of at least two (2) theories which could explain the mystery. Because some theories may sound far-fetched, include the source or promoter of each theory – such as a scientist, a historian, a theologian, etc. In 1922, British archaeologist Howard Carter made archaeological discovery of being the first man in nearly 3,300 years to view the tomb of Tutankhamen. (CSI EGYPT, 2003). My first theory relates to the results of Cooper and King, the crime solving team from Utah, they claim that they have found critical new evidence of foul play which they believe to be murder. King Tut's x-rays was shown to a medical examiner, a radiologist, and a neurologist. These scientists revealed abnormalities in the thin bones above Tut's eye sockets, irregularities that appear when a victim's head strikes the ground in a backward fall, snapping the brain forward. Upon further investigation the scientist found that the bones in Tut's neck were fused, a sign of Klippel-Feil syndrome. Individuals who suffer from this illness cannot turn their heads without moving the upper torso. “It's like having a bowling ball on top of a pool cue,” King said. (CSI EGYPT, 2003). Pharaoh’s tomb was discovered in good condition which had never been seen before it was also intact and full of the most amazing treasures. The main reason that no one had ever seen anything like this was because upon the archaeologist discovery the tombs all had been robbed thousands of years before. (Jones, J. 2013).…

    Undoubtedly, humanity and modern civilization would have never reached their current form with the research. Research is the key element behind any type of evolution and progress. Contemporary, broadly established theories, varying from the understanding of the universe to the revelation of human evolution, are the result of valuable innovations in different fields of science and technology. Every day life has been simplified due to the constant advance of knowledge and discoveries. However, none of this would be possible without constant research. Therefore, and since research is vital to the development of human civilization, the need to augment and supplement current research methods has become apparent. Even though research outcomes may seem promising, the impact of human factor on any conducted studies seems to enhance Griffiths’ opinion that “there is no hope of doing perfect research” (97).
