King Tut’s wife, Ankhesenpaaten may have murdered the young pharaoh in his sleep. Ankhesenpaaten was the daughter of the of King Tut’s father, and the chief wife of King Tutankhamun. During their marriage, the two could not produce an heir to the throne. Ankhesenpaaten had two miscarriages during the time of their marriage. Ankhesenpaaten could have had the motive to kill Tutankhamun because she could not have a child with him.
Hatshepsut was a distinguished royal who was the daughter of a ferocious pharaoh and the wife of a pharaoh.
Brier references the letter written by Tutankhamen’s widow, Ankhesenamen, to the prince of the Hittites to ask him to save her from a marriage she didn’t want. She wrote, “I am afraid!” which is surprising because their country was safe and stable at the time, because of Horemheb’s strong army. Aye and Maya had brought Egypt to prosperity and after her husband’s death, her position should have been the most powerful. Brier uses this letter as evidence to his argument that Tutankhamen had been murdered by someone of power in the court, who could potentially force Ankhesenamen to marry him so he could take control.
Dr. Brier notes that “he must have found it disheartening to serve at a time when there were no wars providing the opportunity to distinguish himself, but Horemheb persevered (107),” but never actually suspects him on murdering the king. Egypt’s entire power was built on war. When they would ‘conquer’ land they just assumed that the people would pay a ‘tax’ to the pharaoh, and when they didn’t, the pharaoh and his army would invade the land again. When Tutankhamen came into power, the focus (or at least Aye’s focus) shifted to restoring Egypt to its former glory, and because the young king wasn’t quite capable of leading an army in battle, Horemheb was put in charge of the army. This power may have given him motive to want to kill the young king Tutankhamen to retain his leadership in the
Then we will tell you what we believe caused the death of King Tut. Evidence A One theory from that we have came up with is that Horemheb and Ay, Tutankhamun’s advisors, was the killer. The evidence is so; Horemheb helped Tut make his decisions, as Tut became older he no longer needed Horemheb. This might have caused Horemheb to no longer care for Tut, and when He
King Tut, whose real name is Tutankhamun, was a product of inbreeding. His parents are believed to have been siblings; therefore, he suffered many inherited diseases. According to the video, which was a CT scan that scientists recreated, King Tut had buck teeth, wide hips, and a clubfoot. This information proved that he could not have died riding a chariot, because he could not stand on his own.
Imagine you are Ankhesenamun of ancient Egypt,your friend and husband just died, then your prince just got murdered trying to marry you. Many people believe that King Tut was murdered and didn’t die of natural causes. That is most likely correct seen that he was only 19 years old when he died. When archaeologists found the body, he had a hemorrhage with a bone fragment in his skull, a broken leg, and a missing front rib cage. This could be from an attack by someone who could always be near the Pharaoh, his chief adviser.
To: State Department From: Agents C. Fausey, Big R a.k.a Ryan P.1: Ryan The reason that we believe king tut died was from a chariot crash. The x rays below show how his bones could have : shared from the crash and therefore could have led to King Tut 's death. There have been many hieroglyphs showing a scene like that type of accident.
When Tuthmosis was twenty-five, Hatshepsut died, leaving him to take his rightful place on the throne. Angry with Hatshepsut for shortening his reign, he erased all evidence that she had ever been Pharaoh. As his stepmother died and Tuthmosis took the throne, an
Horemheb took Aye’s throne after his death. Horemheb also killed King Tut with Aye. He also wanted to be king of Egypt. Anka was Aye’s wife. Anka was Nefertiti’s daughter.
I think that king tut was murdered because people say that when they found his body there were some kind of liquid in his body that could 've been poisoned. Another way is he had a blood clock in the back of his head right by his neck. Other theories that people believed is whoever might of done it did it to take over and run egypt. And whoever was planning this must 've been planning it for years. This is why i think he was murdered.
A ring was discovered in Cairo that showed Aye married King Tut’s wife, Ankhesenamun, shortly after her husband’s untimely death.” This explains to me that Aye could have murdered King Tut. Aye must have forced Ankhesenamun to marry him so, he can be pharaoh as quick as possible before anyone else can become pharaoh. Horemheb is also one of the spect. In the text, it states, “ Horemheb made every attempt during his rule to erase all memory of Tut and his father, Akhenaten.
Many people believed that king Tut was burned or had genetic impairments but I think that he got assassinated. ¨since king Tut did not have a child to succeed him, it appears that Ay decided to seize the crown and declare himself king.¨ Also in the mysteries of egypt article Ay claimed the throne but later dies. Could this be Ays work and he killed king tut or could there be someone else? Could it be Horehomb like in the article it says that all the pharaohs names were scratched out.
Once there was a very young prince who ruled Egypt until the age of 20. He died at a very young age because his two chief advisors, Horemheb and Aye, wanted to take over Egypt. Horemheb and Aye murdered Tut by running him over with a chariot made for speed. They did this because the young king wanted complete control over the people who once controlled him. The two advisors didn’t want that to happen so they planned his last moments in his favorite hunting grounds.
One of the biggest changes Akhenaten made was shifting the primary worship away from the god Amun, and focused on the god of the sun, Aten. His father also ordered the images of other Egyptian gods be destroyed, which upset many Egyptians. After giving the order to destroy all images, Akhenaten also had the temples of the different gods destroyed or closed. Although the Egyptian people were probably happy to hear of Akhenaten’s death, his young son was not ready to ascend to the throne (“King Tut”
