The Murder Of Tutankhamun 's Tomb

Tutankhamun was an Eighteenth Dynasty pharaoh whose legacy extends to the present, and currently one of the best-known ancient Egyptians of all-time. The “Boy King” inherited the throne at the age of nine, his reign lasting only ten years before his sudden unexpected death. The traditional burial customs and funeral processions were carried out upon him, but the tomb he was laid to rest in was unique from the typical Eighteenth Dynasty tombs characterised by their lavish style and large scale. This uniqueness has been evidenced in a variety of archaeological and written sources, which express the tomb’s historical significance.

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

The Mummy Case of Paankhenamun was composed of a substance known as cartonnage, which was usually made out of linen or papyrus strips bound together with a sticky substance in order to form a flexible shell. After mummification, the wrapped body was placed in the coffin-case through the back, which was then laced up and a footboard was added for support. Only then the case was ready to be painted. Such cartonnage cases as the case of Paankhenamun were normally placed inside one or more layered wooden coffins and were also decorated. The innermost coffin was always in the shape of the mummy and due to its utmost importance, it was the case with the richest decorations. The amazing detail is still a wonder to many historians and anthropologists (Stockstad 120-3).

Evidence: He always killed in unusual ways. “All the woman that were murdered were...horribly mutilated” (BBC historic figures).

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

Some people believe that Aye killed King Tut but that is wrong. That is wrong because why would Aye kill himself and leave Tey making the decision of who to marry and make King of Egypt.That is why Aye could not of killed King Tut.

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”.

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?

Imagine you were King Tut and you were murdered. How would you feel if your husband/wife died? To me Horemheb and Tey were the cause of King Tut’s death. I say this because Horemheb and Tey ended up being king and queen of Egypt.

The curse of King Tut is one of the most known curses in the world. The curse was placed upon the tomb of pharaohs. The main people who opened the tomb knew it was cursed but they opened the tomb anyway. Howard Carter, Lord Carnarvon, Lord Westbury, Richard Bethell, and Reis Ahamed all of which were at the tomb when it was opened. Howard Carter who was an archaeologist who lived in England,Discovered the tomb. Lord Carnarvon was Carter's financier for the expedition. ”He watched as Carter made a hole in the door”(The Unmuseum).With Bethell, Westbury, and Ahmed who were standing behind him. The curse of King Tut normally brought death upon those who opened the tomb. It sometimes even killed friends or family of the people

Was caused by assassination and his Genetic Impairment. I believe that King Tut was assassinated by his successor, because of the research and evidence that was found. His Genetic impairment would make it that much easier to kill King Tut.

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

King Tut's died because he had a diseases on his left foot and he also had malaria a diseases an insect that carries. The scientists found out when they did a CT scan which occured in 2005. They found out that King Tut had a broken leg that never got healthy, these findings explain why he had to use 130 walking sticks and canes that were discovered with Tut's

The excavation and discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb was as a result of the efforts of the Archaeologist Howard Carter and his team. Carter’s discovery of the tomb came by finding steps to the burial near the entrance to the tomb Ramses VI. The subsequent excavated of the site by Carter and his team revealed the greatest ever treasure found from an Egyptian tomb and showed the existence of Tutankhamun. Carter’s methodology for the excavation was that of maintaining records for each artefact and that every artefact that was brought out of the tomb was preserved appropriately. The discovery and excavation of the tomb was a long and complex process but with it revealed much about Tutankhamun.

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.
