King Tut Research Paper

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.

King Tutankhamun was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty during the New Kingdom Period. He unexpectantly died at the young age of 18 and was buried in a relatively small tomb meant for someone else as his royal tomb was not yet completed. In 1922 the world was shocked when King Tut’s tomb was discovered by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon. The press coverage sparked a world-wide interest in ancient Egypt and the things left behind by previous pharaohs.

And in 2012, surgeon Dr. Hutan Ashrafian presented a theory to ABC News that he believe that temporal lobe epilepsy caused the fatal fall which also broke Tut’s leg. However, Harvard

The truth is, no one knows, but person can strive and come up with a hypothesis that is as accurate as possible, End the sentence here. Eveveryone has their own beliefs about his death., and here is mine. He was first thought to have died of natural causes until further search went on and then this theory was thought up. Ӧtzi was eating his dinner, about a half a pound of a mixtures of meat and grains The meal had no pollen in it his lungs did because he went up and down the mountain.that happened to have pollen on it. He then was attacked and went into a hand to hand battle with an unfriendly neighbor. He started off over the mountain and was shot with an arrow by the same person he had fought with moments before.

However, most pharaohs failed to protect their tombs from robbers and thieves. King Tut’s tomb was mostly saved from this fate though, because his tomb was very small for a pharaoh.
