Description: King Tut's tomb is known for the gold, jewels and stunning artifacts it contained, but few have ever seen the flowers and plant remains that were also included in his tomb. Meet Dr. Stephen R. Phillips of the Penn Museum and hear the story of how the flowers and plants in King Tut's tomb can be clues in solving the puzzle of what caused his death and even tell us when he died.
