The death of Tutankhamun was a sudden tragedy that til this day has yet to be solved.

However, there are several theories and many of which have changed over the years.

King Tut was a pharoh back in Ancient Egypt times. He wasn’t talked about much, until his tomb was discovered in 1939 because this discovery put another puzzle piece in the puzzle, but created many more missing pieces. At the end of all this, an army general, Horemheb erased everyones name and put his own there.

1.The Nemean Lion: Hercules task was to “Kill the Nemean Lion.” Hercules was ordered because King Eurystheus told him to complete the tasks. He went to Cleonae, a town, this is where he was offered to stay. A person had requested him to get a lion's skin. Hercules requested the person to wait for thirty days. Finally, he killed the ferocious beast, and he carried it to Cleonae. After that, he returned to Mycenae where King Eurystheus was amazed by his accomplishment.

Many people think that Tutankhamun’s death is to be caused by a hippopotamus, when others think of him dying from a major disease. He had ruled Ancient Egypt for around ten years (1334 B.C. to 1324 B.C.) until his mysterious death in 1324 B.C. at the age of nineteen (Nelson Ken, 2018). This riddle has became a crucial priority to the society. As Tutankhamun’s remains revealed a hole in the back of the skull, some historians and scientists concluded that he was assassinated, but is this true?

The Mummy With the Curse Is the curse of breaking into King Tut’s tomb the cause of death to a dozen men or could it be coincidence? In egyptian times when a king would die they would be wrapped in cloth and put into a large coffin, it was believed that the mummies of ancient Egyptian persons, especially the Pharaohs were not to be disturbed and anyone who did that would face a curse. A curse of which anyone who broke into a Pharaoh's tomb would be cursed to serious illness or death. King Tut’s tomb should have never been entered and excavated because it is cursed, anyone who steals the young kings loot was cursed forever. King Tutankhamun (c. 1341 B.C.E. to c. 1323 B.C.E.),was the twelfth pharaoh of the eighteenth Egyptian dynasty.

King Tut, also known as King Tutankhamun died at age 19. His tomb was never found until archaeologist Howard Carter found his tomb. Tut’s coffin was all gold, and in his tomb were jewels, gold treasures, and ancient artifacts. Tut was famous for this unknown tomb, and coffin. Everything in his tomb is extremely valuable.

According to Zahi Hawasse, Before the discovery of the tomb workers that were living in huts built on Tut’s tomb which is one of the reasons why Tut’s tomb was barely touched by grave robbers. Carter spent a long time looking for the tomb and in 1922 he knew that it was his last time to look for it. (Hawasse 12) When The Team was looking for the tomb they had pointed water cups. You had to dig hole to be able to keep the cups from falling over and spilling. One guy who was digging the holes hit a step. He ran to go tell Carter and not the guy in charge of him so he could get a reward. (Hawasse 17) As recorded by the Smithsonian, Carter was saying in a mud brick house at the time. The house now serves as a museum. (Smithsonian) Stated by National Geographic, there were 5000 artifacts found in his tomb in the Valley of the Kings which is located near Luxor, Egypt. When Carter found king tut he tried to get him out of his sarcophagus, while doing this he was rough with King Tut. Now it is hard to tell when and How he died. This also led to the theory that king Tut was murdered. This is the significance of the finding of Tut’s

Theseus, son of Athenian king Aegeus, was raised in a city near southern Greece. His mother was told by his father that if he was born a boy and became strong enough to move a boulder that guarded a sword and a pair of shoes, he could come back to Athens and claim that he is the son of Aegeus. Theseus accomplished this task easily and was ready to set off for Athens. His grandfather had a ship prepared to take him straight to Athens; however, just like his cousin Hercules, Theseus wanted to prove himself as a great hero and take risks. Theseus walked to Athens and killed every bandit in site; killing them in the ways that they killed their victims. Upon his arrival to Athens, Theseus was treated like a hero and caused the king to worry that this hero, who he didn't know was his son,

November 4, 1922 a huge discovery was made by a band of Egyptian workers were excavating in the hills of Thebes. While digging in the hills of Thebes they soon chipped away a piece of rock which was guarding a famous tomb pathway. As they were digging they immediately alarmed the archaeologist named Howard Carter. As the excavation team kept on digging to uncover what was hidden they seen “priestly seals, including two of great significance”. Which was the sign of the jackel with nine captives, it also shown marks of royalty on the tomb; on the lower part of the tomb it had the sign of Nebkheprure which was a sign for anyone who seen it was coronation name of the pharaoh that was buried, which was King Tutankhamen.

King Tut was a pharaoh back in ancient Egypt. He became pharaoh, at the young age of 9. But, 10 years later, he mysteriously died? There are many theories on how he died, here are just a few….

We believe King Tutankhamen died because of a combination of malaria and a broken leg. We think that he got the broken leg from a chariot racing accident, which was most likely caused by his decaying toes, which gave him bad balance.

Around 1907, Howard Carter was employed to handle the excavations which had funded by Carnarvon, but the tombs had been previously looted and they had yet to make the huge score hey hoped for. In November 1922, Carnarvon asked Howard Carter and his men to do one more excavation. They begun clearing a neglected triangle, in the Valley of Kings when they finally hit a staircase that would lead them to Tut’s tomb.

Since being one of the most intact monuments of Ancient Egypt, the finding of Tutankhamun's tomb by Howard Carter in 1922 is believed to be the utmost significant archaeological discoveries of the century. The treasures found were stored in the following parts of the tomb the Antechamber Annex, and then the Burial Chamber and Treasury. The Ancient Egyptians believed in the afterlife. The customs and beliefs of the Ancient Egyptians called for the preservation of the body and extensive provisions for the after-life which were buried with them in the tomb. These treasures were seen as a continuation of the life of the Pharaoh before his death. It was therefore seen as essential that the favourite items belonging to King Tut would be buried

Chariots are easy to ride except when you have a clubbed foot ( your foot is twisted facing the inside of your foot.) King Tut on the other hand had a clubbed foot so it made him need walking assistance. So on the other hand KIng Tut would have got on a Chariot unstable. In New evidence sheds light King Tut’s death, riding a Chariot was so important to Tut. So without thinking about his clubbed foot he would jump on and not be able to stabileyes himself. Further evidence Tut died by a Chariot because in Mystery of King Tut’s death solved?

Howard Carter was a british archaeologist that was known for many famous discoveries during the early 1900’s. Carter was the lead archaeologist in the dig of Tutankhamun's (aka “King Tut”) tomb. The finding of the tomb was one of the biggest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, even though the opening of the tomb would forever change the team's lives. With all the excitement of this new finding, the team threw caution to the wind and later opened the casket, little did they know that this would later bring on a so called curse that was written in a prophecy many years ago for anyone who disturbed the peace of a pharaoh. This curse became known as the “death curse” the boundaries for this “curse’ are limitless it knows no evil or good. According to the people in Carter's life he led a pretty decent and well respected life for the time that he was alive, once the tomb was opened under his command the curse began to slowly affect him and his teams lives no matter if they were good, bad, religious or evil.
