Here are some out-standing photos of Karnak.

For years now there has been an effort by the Oriental Institute to photograpically record various sites. This is an example of the work.

I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures, maatkara.
When you speak of the Guardian's site, are you referring to the Tut scan results? That's from Hawass' web-site, which is on Guardians.

I haven't been able to find an on-line copy of the original results, but that on Hawass' site seems to cover it all.
The broken leg-bone is intriguing. Opinion seems split on pre and after death. To kill him, it would have had to be a bad enough break to break the skin, too. That's the only way it could become infected and kill him. As Hawass says, we will never know for sure what caused his death. A conspiricy is more than likely, but there was no blow to the back of the head that killed him.

...yes, and still we cannot know whether he's been poisoned...
