The Curse Of King Tut's Tomb

Have you ever imagined if there was a king that was just five. A long time ago their was a king who was just nine years old. He did a lot of helpful things in egypt that really helped a lot. He did this all when he was just nine years old. King Tut's dad was very evil and did a lot of bad things to Egypt. When King Tut was pharaoh he undid every single thing what his dad try to do. He also was very religious so that is very good thing to be pharaoh in Egypt.

The pharaoh was undoubtedly the most important terrestrial figure in ancient Egypt and played a significant role in the functioning of Egyptian society. Entrusted with governing the realm of Egypt and providing a link between the Egyptian people and the gods, pharaohs were “an essential element in the maintenance of the position of society in the order of creation”. This idea has been substantiated through the various artefacts located in tombs in the Valley of the Kings, particularly that of Tutankhamun. These finds have shed light on the role and lifestyle of the pharaoh in ancient Egypt. Through the discovery and analysis of these items, historians and archaeologists alike have been able to glean considerable amounts of information in

Ancient Egypt was my favorite topic in social studies. As far back as I could remember. I have always been interested, especially since Egypt is a neighboring country to Libya, my second home. The world is still fascinated, and intrigued by its mysteries. Who build the pyramids? How were they built by? One of the most asked questions were. Who was King Tut? Was there really a curse? King Tutankhamen took reign at the very young age of nine, after his father Akhenaten’s death in 1322 B.C. Although his short reign of around ten years accomplished very little. The discovery of his tomb in 1922 has led to many discoveries. He was once almost unknown and now is one of the most well-known. He was well known for his curse on who ever disturbs his tomb. I believe the curse is fake. The curse was actually used to sell more newspapers and protect the tomb from robbers.

Imagine you’re an archeologist exploring Egypt and you find an old tomb, one that has not been ransacked. Strangely, the mummy is a pharaoh in only a rich man’s tomb and it turns out this ruler died young. The mummy is King Tutankhamun and he was killed by Aye, his chief advisor. Aye killed King Tut for power over Ancient Egypt. Evidence shows that the pharaoh had many injuries before his death.

Tutankhamun’s tomb created in 1323 B.C.E in Egypt demonstrates the burial traditions associated with ancient egypt. Both the visual and contextual pieces to this sarcophagus demonstrates the complexity and amazement that the ancient egyptians placed around death. From the materials that the sarcophagus was made out of and the symbols that can be seen, to the historical background surrounding the pharaoh that was placed inside many details about these people’s burial practices can be made.

George Washington, who was the 1st president of the United States, was the step-grandfather of George Washington Parke Custis. In 1759 George Washington married Martha Dandridge. After the death of Martha’s first husband Daniel, she gained the Arlington House. The Arlington House later became ownership of General Robert E. Lee and his wife Mary Randolph Custis. Lee left the house in order to fight in the Civil War. Mary was unable to pay the taxes she needed to, so she had to leave the house, and the area where the house was got turned into a military cemetery for the Civil War. The Arlington House was on high ground so it was the perfect place for a cemetery. Montgomery Meig was a Union soldier and one of the main

Tutankhamun is one of the most famous and instantly recognisable Pharaohs of the modern world even though he lived and reigned over 3,000 years ago. The boy King was born in the 11th year of his father’s reign in 1345 BCE and died in 1327 BCE at the age of just 17 or 18 after only being in power for 8 years. Until archaeologist Howard Carter discovered his almost fully-intact tomb in the Valley of the Kings in 1922 CE, the pharaoh was almost unheard of due to the common belief that he was a minor ruler, whose reign was of little consequence. However after this discovery and subsequent discoveries due to excavations, analysis of his mummy and other historical evidence, opinions changed, so much so that today Tutankhamun is recognized as an important

King Tutankhamen also known as King Tut was born in 1341 BC and died in 1323 BC. Akhenaten(King Tut’s father) birthday is unknown, but he died in 1335 BC. King Tut is known most for his tomb. “The most fascinating item found in King Tut’s tomb was the stone sarcophagus containing three coffins, one inside the other, with a final coffin made of gold. When the lid of the third coffin was raised, King Tut's royal mummy was revealed, preserved for more than 3,000 years. As archaeologists examined the mummy, they found other artifacts, including bracelets, rings and collars.” The tomb was discovered by Howard Carter in 1922. When Carter discovered it, it was untouched. Most of what we know about Egyptian history came from the tomb. Akhenaten and King Tut were both pharaohs, but had two different styles of ruling. Akhenaten made radical changes. These radical changes led to “his characterisation as the first individual in history”. King Tut was the complete opposite. This paper will prove that Tutankhamen took the necessary steps to legitimize his rule after the chaotic rule of his father.

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.

When you were nine years old, were you granted king of Egypt? I didn't think so. King Tutankhamun was a nine year old Egyptian ruler that died at very young age. While ruling he changed the worshiped gog from Aten to Amun. That is why he changed his name from Tutankhaten to Tutankhamun because the first one means "Living image of Aten" and the second one means "Living image of

In chapter five, they begin the autopsy of Tutankhamen, this chapter digs into how old he at the time of his death and what the reason was behind his death. His mummy measured at 1.63 m long but considering the shrinkage from the mummification he was 1.67 m, 5 feet 7 inches, at the time of death. Derry determined that Tutankhamen's wisdom teeth were just beginning to push through his gum line. This discovery along with the study of the growth plates Tutankhamen died between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two. There were a few people that believed that he died as young as sixteen, Leek, and as old as twenty-seven, Harris, but most thought that Tutankhamen was eighteen years old when he died. Now, the more significant question, what caused him

The beginning of Egypt is a civilization full of wonders and victories, Especially the people that lived during that time. During 1550 BC to 1292 BC Many pharaohs rose up to lead the kingdom to riches and prosperity throughout their ruling. Even through hard times the egyptian people and their leaders figured solutions that solved their problems. One example of these many great pharaohs, is a young one that was not known to the modern time till 1922. That king was king Tutankhamun, also known as king Tut.

How did this mystery start? Well, I believe that Ankesenamen and Tey murdered Tuthankhamun. How? you ask, well, let me tell you…

Anubis is the Egyptian god of the dead, tombs, and embalming. He was depicted with a body of a man and the head of a jackal. The shrine of him inside of King Tut’s tomb showed him in his full jackal form. Many people believe the reason Anubis lazuli as a jackal is that jackals were often seen around tombs and graves hunting for rodents. This led people to believe that the sightings made the Egyptians believe that jackals protected the dead. This is why Anubis was made the god of embalming and of cemeteries and why a shrine of him was placed in King Tut’s tomb.

The ancient Egyptians were a civilization who were consumed with the idea of life and bringing life to death. The most notable illustration of this is idea of life in death is King Tutankhamun’s Death Mask. The mask itself presents an image of the youthful pharaoh along with its celebration of death in Egyptians culture. This mask represents the point of artistic and technological achievement in Egypt in the New Kingdom. It also shows use of symbolism and iconography of Egyptian high complex culture and religion. In addition, the mask was used to protect and aid his journey to the afterlife. It accomplished this beautiful representation of life and death by its style of elegance.
