The fractures in the skull and his death at an early age have fueled many theories about his death. The two main theories are Tutankhamen was murdered or he died of natural causes. The oldest of these theories is he was murdered by one of his subjects. This theory is due in large part to the fracture found on his skull. Bob Brier, an Egyptologist from Long Island University, presents the theory that Ay, one of Tutankhamen’s advisors, murdered Tutankhamen to usurp the throne (King Tut One.com, 2013).
The scientists now have looked at King Tut corpse to try to figure out if he died because he was murdered or from an injury. Scientists have been looking at King Tut body for years and one of the mysteries is that General Horemheb murdered King Tut. Horemheb was the deputy to the king when he was a young child to help guide him as Pharaoh (Did Horemheb Kill King Tut, 2012). It is said that as King Tut became older Horemheb was scared that the king would not listen to him and make his own decision regarding politics and religion (Did Horemheb Kill King Tut, 2012). Once Egypt used to be polytheistic which is the worship of many Gods and changed to monotheism the worship of one God when King Tut was ruling.
As time goes on, I believe more theories will arise. From everything that I have learned about King Tut’s death, I believe that he had died from a sickness of some sort. For one, he had a broken thigh bone. If he were murdered I think they would have found some evidence that someone created damage to his body. For second, his death was very sudden.
Assignment 1: Mummy Curses Brittany Skinner Hum 111 Prof. Chip Stansbury 10-31-14 Unsolved mysteries, especially back in the Egyptian times, happen to be the most favorite subjects throughout schools and personal interest. I choose the topic that involved the “Mummy’s Curse,” a series of unexplainable, unfortunate, or tragic events that happened to the people who were present at the opening of Tutankhamen’s tomb. For many years people seemed that the very act of entering into a King’s tomb would inflict death upon them, in specific ways. Many theories have been put forth to explain the deaths, and the most prominent one is that the tomb was cursed. It said that an inscription at the entrance of the tomb reads the ‘Death will slay with his wings whoever disturbs the peace of the pharaoh’.
The young king Tutankhamun was previously regarded as an inconsequential ruler of the 18th dynasty in the new kingdom of Ancient Egypt until the discovery of his tomb, which sparked a worldwide fascination with the life and death of this previously obscure figure. His nearly fully intact tomb was discovered by Howard Carter and his archaeological team in 1922. This tomb generated countless questions and ideas about the life and death of Tutankhamun (Tut). The wall paintings and the artefacts found in the tomb, as well as the pharaoh’s body itself allowed numerous theories to be developed as to how King Tut led his life. However, through historical and scientific research, many of the ideas conveyed by the tomb were proven to be false.
Statues and painted mandalas in Mustang's temples collapsed and soon was lost beyond the mountains. Later in the mid 1990s, archaeologist began looking for more accessible caves. They found a lot of dead bodies that was 2,000 years old. Pete Athans first glimpsed the impossible to reach caves while trekking in 1981. He says, "it was his greatest expedition of his life."
The mystery had almost been solved in 2005 by Zahi Hawaas and his team who took a closer look at a mummy found a century ago which was named KV6oa. It was at first neglected, because it did not have any jewelry or clothes which might indicate this used to be a prominent person (Brown, p. 2). So, another theory concerns her mysterious disappearing, as well as the destruction of any evidence of her rule. Had not it been for an accidental discovery of her tooth, the mummy would still be left unacknowledged. Soon after that, it had been proclaimed the King Herself and now she stays at the Egyptian
Amir felt the reason Baba was always distant and seemed cut off, was because he was torn inside after the death of his beloved wife, which Amir had killed at delivery. “It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime...” This evidence shows how the one event at twelve years old has molded his entire life. “I became what I am today at the age of twelve.” At twelve years old Amir witnessed the rape of his childhood friend and brother Hassan. This example shows that Amir felt his entire life was shaped by the memory of the rape that happened at twelve years old. Amir lived the rest of his life trying to deal with the guilt and hide from the memory of that horrific
