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. 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

One of the first things scientists found were the wounds, hands had deep cuts, arrow head in his left shoulder which hit the subclavian artery, head wounds, four broken ribs (however this may have not happened before, or when he died.), broken fingers, and possibly suffered from whipworms (CT scan showed this, it found eggs of Whipworms in his colon). Autopsies gave more clues about his health, for example, some of his fingernails and toenails were missing however out of the ones found they saw that he had been sick three times before death this was mentioned in “ÖTZI, THE ICEMAN” (by Jeffrey Hays, Subtitle: Iceman’s Health). They also found out that his lungs were those of a smoker and could’ve been caused by living in an open house.

Amenhotep IV better known as Akhenaten is one of the most interesting pharaohs to have ever ruled over Egypt (BBC). He changed his name to Akhenaton, which means 'the servant of Aten' early in his reign (ehistory). He came into power around 1353 BCE and stayed in power for 17 years (BBC). His wife was queen Nefertiti and they had six daughters, he also fathered king Tut (BBC). Akhenaten was a true visionary as he made revolutionary changes to the religion and art of Ancient Egypt.

an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty (ruled c.1333 BC – 1323 BC in the conventional chronology), during the period of Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom. His original name, Tutankhaten, means "Living Image of Aten",

Akhenaten was born at around 1362 B.C. He was the son of Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye. When he was a child, Akhenaten was a family outcast: he was never depicted in any of the family portraits, there were no records of him going to any public events, and is thought to have never received any honors. His brother, Thutmose was going to be the successor of his father who was the Pharaoh Amenhotep III. However, it is believed that Thutmose unexpectedly died and Akhenaten, the next one in line succeeded the throne. However, another theory suggests that Queen Tiye wanted Akhenaten to succeed the throne. We do not know what actually happened but we do know that he ended up reigning as Amenhotep IV.

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. He pulled the arrow out and continued up the mountain wounded in many areas such as his hands, back, and head. This is why Ӧtzi had his axe with him at the time of his death. He must have escaped his enemy but didn’t make it to far up the mountain before

He was the 18th Dynasty of Egypt and ruled for over 17 years. He had 9 kids including Smenkhkare, Meritaten, Meketaten, Ankhesenamun, Neferneferuaten Tasherit, Neferneferure, Setepenre, Ankhesenpaaten-ta-sherit and the most famous one Tutankhamun.

Aye’s first wife, Tey, became the queen causing Ankhesenamun to run away and live out the rest of her life as a civilian. Aye was only the pharaoh for four years before he died. (He was like 70.) After Aye died, Horemheb became the pharaoh. He thought that Akhenaten, Tutankhamen, and Aye did not deserve to be a part of Egyptian history and had their names erased and his put in their place. This is why it is so hard to make a good inference about King Tut’s death. King Tut’s death could have just been a

And really all scientist know about Akhenaten death is that he died when Tut was 10 years old. It never says he dies in an accident or if he died in war. All we know

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.

He was in a very bad state of health when he died, according to scientists and doctors who performed the autopsy. He had a bad cut on the palm of his hand, and had fractures on his ribs and nose. He had fleas, he had parasite eggs in his large intestine, his lungs were discolored by the residue from smoky fires, and he had Lyme disease. Next to him, he had a longbow, a quiver with 14 arrows, a copper ax, a dagger, a sharpening tool, a backpack, two bones, two wood cylinders, a leather

King Tut was born in 1341 B.C. in Ancient Egypt. He was given the name Tutankhaten by his father, which means ‘the living image of Aten’. After taking power in 1332 B.C. at the age of nine, the short-lived king changed his name to Tutankhamun, which means the living image of Amun. He became a pharaoh after his father-Akhenaten’s death. Akhenaten had 3 wives, Nefertiti, Ankhesenamun and Kiya. Ankhesenamun was known to be King Tut’s half sister, since there wasn’t much age difference between her and the boy king, there was no chance she was Tutankhamun’s mother.So the real question is, which one of these two great women were truly his mother? Many say it’s Nefertiti; however others believe it’s Kiya. As more research was done,

Sadly by the time they reached the hospital he suffocated and died. The doctors at the hospital prepared first examined his body then put him in the morgue until it was time for him to get buried. Days past and finally the day of his funeral came. When his body was being transported it started to move. The doctors thought it was a miracle until they noticed that he was not responding to anything they said and he attacked them.

The discovery of the tomb of King Tutankhamun has answered many questions and solved many mysteries about the life of people in Ancient Egypt. However, the life and death of the boy king is still a mystery itself. For example, one continual argument and mystery is how King Tut died. Although there are many opposing theories, King Tutankhamen died because he was already weak from genetic diseases, then broke his leg, which got infected and caused King Tut to die.
