Analysis Of King Tut's Death Of A Chariot

King Tutankhamun death is a mystery that puzzles many historians, and archeologist. Many theories include, falling from a chariot, being killed by a hippo or crocodile, infection, malaria, or as I believe being assassinated. Many clues and hints have been given to support this theory. In the article Mysteries of Egypt, an X-ray was given of King Tut's skull, it revealed a blood clot at the base of his head. Could this have been caused by a traumatic hit to the head? Who would do such a thing? King Tut's elderly chief advisor Ay, is most suspected to have murdered the famous pharaoh. From the day of his birth to the time of his death Tut had a clubbed foot, and studies show he had a malaria. Did Ay murder him just for power, and blame it

King Tut may have died suddenly but I have a theory. And three things that can support that theory. My theory is he was murdered by someone that was close to him when he died. Three people all have evidence of his death.Those three will be told of each of their stories.

One theory suggests that King Tut was murdered. During an xray of the mummy in 1968, scientists found “bone fragments in King Tut’s skull prompting this theory”.

In Ancient Egypt, there was no way to investigate a murder. Even if there was, most records of King Tut have been erased! Archeologists have been making educated guesses about King Tutankhamun’s death since the 1920’s. One theory is that he was murdered by Aye, his power-hungry chief advisor. This is because King Tut’s mummy was very badly injured.

After reading Epictetus’ lecture called The Handbook, one can have a better understanding of Epictetus’ view on free will and what we are able to control as human beings. According to Epictetus, “…all that is in your power is your mind – more specifically, your judgments of whether or not to assent to its presentations – and only what is in your power should be of concern to you” (Reeve & Miller, 2015, pp. 443). It appears that Epictetus leaves a lot up to chance. According to Epictetus, whatever life gives you, you are to take it with open arms and deal with it the best way seen fit.

"The 12 Labors of Hercules" demonstrates a Hero's Journey by assigning Hercules many excruciating tasks designed to kill him. Hera and King Eurystheus are in cahoots and continually try to brutally and indirectly end the hero's life. Hercules was sent to do his twelve labors for his cousin, King Eurystheus, after murdering his wife, Hera, and their children. Hera was being manipulative and messing with Hercules’ head, so he had a fit and a bit of insanity and ended up killing Hera and their offspring. Hercules did not seem to know or understand what was going on when he killed his family and felt dreadful when he realized what he had done, so he prayed to Apollo seeking assistance.

King Tutankhamun’s cause of death was a chariot accident resulting in gangrene. The first reason why this was the cause of his death, was that he loved to ride in his chariot and his clubfoot didn’t stop him. Even though King Tut had a clubfoot, he still did everything he loved because he has had one all his life. It’s known that King Tut had to have someone stabilize him before he rode, and someone rode with him. Is it possible that he decided to go out without completing all the safety precautions before? Another reason why King Tut surely died of a chariot accident and gangrene, was that it was extremely easy to get into a chariot accident. According to the video, he easily could have fallen. He could have been riding along, and since Egypt

Imagine, you have been walking along the shore of the beach, but suddenly, you stumble upon a dead body floating in the salty water. You wonder how the stranger died, and why the stranger’s body was in the water. Well, let’s go back to the time when King Tut existed. King Tut was believed to be a great ruler of Egypt, but his death was the mysterious of all. He was Murdered.

Odysseus travels to the underworld, where he pours libations and performs sacrifices to attract the souls of the dead. The first soul to appear to Odysseus is Elpenor, who was a crewman who broke his neck by falling off a roof, begging Odysseus to go back and give him a proper burial. Odysseus then speaks to Tiresias, who tells him that Poseidon is punishing him for what he did to Polyphemus. Odysseus speaks with his mother, which touched him the most, he was sadden with grief of his mother’s death, and she says that she died from grief waiting for his return home. Odysseus speaks to many heroe’ like Achilles who asks about one of his family member, and how Ajax refused to speak with him. He meets talks with Agamemnon, who tells Odysseus

Citizens in ancient Rome held their entertainment close. Entertainment was free, and appealed to all social classes, from slaves to the emperor. Two forms of entertainment are chariot racing and gladiator fights. These were two of the more popular forms of entertainment available to the average Roman citizens.

by the speed of the horses or the skill of the drivers, this would not

And now the wish for a final stab for vengeance rose within powerful Poseidon, and he devised a plan to ensure that Odysseus’s final journey would not go unchallenged. As Odysseus slept on the beach, Poseidon drew up the waters of the sea and formed them into a wall, surrounding Odysseus on almost every side, while ensuring that Ithaca was still visible. Then, he caused a great wave to originate from the entrance to his watery prison and ruch toward Odysseus. The wave caused a thunderous noise, inducing sapient Odysseus to wake, with only the knowledge that he death seemed imminent. He sprung up, but just as he fought to clear his mind and determine the best course of action, the wave broke, and was reduced to mere inches of cold water rushing up and around his knees.

In the second article review of the semester I read Matthew Rosenbaum’s “Mystery of King Tut’s Death Solved?”. Dr. Hutan Ashrafian a scientist at the Imperial College London insists that King Tut may have died from a chronic neurological condition called temporal lobe epilepsy. He states that King Tut had Gynecomastia which explains why he had enlarged breasts and that it ran in his family. King Tut’s relatives who were also rulers happened to die at relatively young ages according to Ashrafian which showed “a sign of a genetic inheritance of some sort” (Ashrafian). King Tut’s father Akhenaten then attempted to switch the religion of Egypt to a monotheistic based religion that emphasized on their God of Aten. Rosenbaum says

What i know about theses paragraphs is The chariot races were both exciting and dangerous. Where the chariots turned at the same time , wheels could lock really happened. Because the horse races came after the chariot races, the jockeys had to compete in a sea of earth and dust that had been stirred up by the chariots .To add to the challenge , the jockeys rode the horses bareback.

Change is inevitable and Wole Soyinka made an allusion to that in his book Death and the King’s Horseman with his character Elesin whom we see is almost hesitant with committing ritual suicide and also is see questioning his tradition and all this arise organically and prior to Simon Pilkings interference and also in Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe in Obierika who already had started thinking and questioning his tradition before the White Man came into the picture. The one thing with these both examples is that although they are questioning their tradition, it is unclear if the change could have been achieved. Apart from the organic change which might have come fruition, these same books gave an extensive example of a more direct and enforced change and that was with colonization and more specific with Amusa in the Death and The King’s Horseman and with the Kotma (Efulefu) and the Osu’s.
