According to the text, Kepler's laws are three statements that describe the paths of planets and other objects orbiting the sun, and the moons orbiting the planets. The first law says "The orbit of each planet around the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus." This means that the path all of the planets take in their orbit around the sun is in the shape of an ellipse or an oval rather than a perfect circle. The second law says "A line joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time," meaning that a planet's speed decreases as it moves away from the sun and increases as it moves toward the sun. The third law says "The square of a planet's sidereal period around the Sun is directly proportional to the

CT scan assisted in determining that Tutankhamun was nineteen years old when dying, had a broken leg, and skull’s hole. Moreover, using DNA analysis displayed Tutankhamun’s clubbed foot, missing toe’s bone, and disease’s pathogen. Both CT scan and DNA analysis helped archaeologists discover Tutankhamun’s complex family relationship and how his family sibling marriage led them to suffer from genetic diseases.

Though Carter was focused on getting inside the rest of the tomb, he noted that the doorway had been sealed three different times. These findings lead Carter to the conclusion that the tomb had been robbed in the past. Carter and other archeologists even noted that king Tut’s tomb was not decorated and did not have many of the grand features of a normal pharaoh’s tomb. Though the tomb was quickly constructed, Carter’s discoveries proved that King Tut’s tomb was the greatest ancient Egyptian tomb ever discovered (“KV62” 1). Carter still had plenty of work to do though, to prove that this was the greatest tomb ever
