The face of Egypt's most famous ancient ruler, King Tutankhamun, has been put on public display for the first time. Archaeologists took the mummy from its stone sarcophagus and placed it in a climate-controlled case inside his tomb in Luxor's Valley of the Kings.The event comes 85 years to the day after the pharaoh's tomb was discovered by British explorer Howard Carter. Until now, only about 50 living people have seen the face of Tutankhamun, who died more than 3,000 years ago.
