We dig into why ancient Egyptian King Tutankhamun?s heart is missing from his tomb and what archaeologists have learned a century since the discovery of the young pharaoh?s tomb.

We?ll head into National Geographic Museum?s King Tut exhibit with archaeologist-in-residence Fred Hiebert to hear his take on what happened to Egypt?s boy king and hear from mummy expert Salima Ikram about how recent excavations of the tomb are helping scientists get closer to the answer.
