Scientists recently came up with this reconstruction of the face
The face of one of Egypt's most mysterious ancient rulers, the boy king Tutankhamun, is being put on public view for the first time on Sunday.
His mummy is being displayed in a climate-controlled case inside his tomb in Luxor's Valley of the Kings.
The event comes exactly 85 years after the site was discovered by the British explorer Howard Carter.
Only about 50 people are thought to have seen his face since then though thousands have seen his sarcophagus.
The face remained intact because of the mummification process and will continue to be protected from heat and humidity.
