Answer:

(i) Ray Johnson described Akhenaten as 'whacky' for the his following deeds (a) Akhenaten first changed his name and moved the religious capital from the old city of Thebes to the new city of Akhenaten. (b) He further shocked the country by attacking 'Amun' a major God, by smashing his images and closing his temples.   (ii) The CT Scan showed King Tut's neck vertebrae, a hand and several views of the rib-cage and a transaction of the skull. All of it showed that nothing had gone seriously wrong.   (iii) The advances in technology that have improved forensic analysis are as follows 1. Today, diagnostic imaging can be done by computed tomography or CT 2. In CT, hundreds of X-rays in cross-section are put together like slices of bread to create a three dimensional virtual body. 3. The X-ray images in cross section can scan even the intricate structure by reducing it to slices in millimeters.   (iv) King Tut was the last heir of a powerful family that had ruled Egypt for centuries. He met a very early death just when he was 18 years old. Since the discovery of his tomb in 1922, the world has speculated a lot about him. Tut's mummy had to undergo a CT Scan that offered new clues about his life and death. His mummy was the first to go for a CT scan, hence, in death as in life, he moved regally ahead of his countrymen.
