We are writing this report today to explain the major causes behind the mystery death of King Tut around the year 1323 BCE.

For years this event has been ignored. However, after analyzing the evidence in this case, we have startling news to share. First we will explain to you several theories that make the most sense. Then we will analyze what we believe caused the death of King Tut.

One of these theories is King Tut was murdered by Aye. When King Tut’s father ruled he only let the people worship the Sun God. The people used to worship many gods, so they were mad, but they couldn’t do anything because King Tut’s father was a Pharaoh so they had to worship only the Sun god. When King Tut’s father died. Tut had to rule Egypt when he was only 9 years old, so he needed help to rule a country. So His Father 's former advisor named Aye helped King Tut ruled Egypt. Aye wanted the power to become Pharaoh. But King Tut had died Aye became the new Pharaoh. Nobody knew who killed King Tut. Maybe it was Aye because he wanted to become Pharaoh. But why didn’t he kill King Tut a few years. Well he wanted to have King Tut’s trust so no one could ever Aye kill King Tut for the throne. But do you think …show more content…

He thought he’d give king tut sometime to rule to civilization and then one day it might have been aye killing king tut to rule the kingdom but he only has been king for 4 years and he died. And king tut’s general became king and nobody killed him so I think he really killed King Tut and King Aye because the circle ends on

Stepping beside Tuthmosis III shows that Hatshepsut wanted her people, the Egyptians, to know that she was equal to Tuthmosis III, or somewhat as powerful as Tuthmosis III. We also learned that Hatshepsut was worried about continuing Egypt’s traditions. While she tried to follow Egypt’s customs, she accomplished another intelligent thing. Hatshepsut knew that other pharaohs had a throne name when they ruled, so she decided to do so as well. Hatshepsut was clever about what she named herself, though.

During her reign, she proved she was worthy by becoming one of the “most ambitious builders in Egyptian history” (Cole and Symes 34). However, after ruling for 21 years her legacy was tested. Scholars found defaced statues and portraits of Hatshepsut. Some believed Thutmose III was slighted by Hatshepsut and he defaced her image.

This is where the idea was planted for Akhenaten that Aten was “above all other gods” (Tim Maynor, 2011) and believes that Aten is everywhere and visible to everyone. That he is a god of everyday life. Ultimately Amenhotep III created himself as the God and tipped the power away from the priests of Amun, and thus, the Priests of the Old God were unhappy as they had lost their significant power and believed that Aten was eclipsing their power. When Akhenaten became king after his fathers death, he believed that if a pharaoh was God, then he should have no competition, and therefore, Akhenaten, to modern historians “[undid] 1500 years of tradition and rattle[d] Egypt to its foundation” (Tim Maynor, 2011). At first, Akhenaten escalated the conflict with the priests that his father had started.

Such as taking away the power that religious officials had. Amenhotep’s changes are extremely different than what we know about many Pharaohs before and after. Amenhotep III really built himself on a pedestal of being better than everyone else, whereas Horemheb did his best to weaken the power that religious figures had in Egyptian society. Horemheb oversaw the tearing down of many monuments and temples that the people before himself made, people such as Ay and Amenhotep III. The 18th dynasty ended with Horemheb, but Amenhotep III’s reign would show many religious changes that are actually quite surprising, where he saw himself more than a god than a member of his own family.
