Tutankhamun Theory

Tutankhamun, the Egyptian Pharaoh (or King) who ruled in 1332 BC, was murdered when hit by a chariot deliberately in a battle. The young King’s death has been a mystery for years, but this rational theory has become apparent and with proof such as a motive, medical information and additional primary evidence it is hard to prove this concept wrong. Tutankhamun's father, Akhenaten, was the previous Pharaoh of Egypt. When given power he went off on a limb and decided to change many of the countries rules and beliefs leaving many priests and the army without jobs. This created lots of enemies for the royal family so when he passed away and Tutankhamun became the next Pharaoh, these enemies could have possibly been passed onto Tutankhamun until

A computed axial tomography scan was done in 2005 showing that Tutankhamun died with an open wound fracture on his left leg. Within the bone, when the mummified body was examined, they found resin which was used by the Ancient Egyptians to preserve the body so the wound had to have been obtained around the time of his death otherwise the resin would not have found it’s way into the young King’s bone. In 2013 Ultimate Tut, a documentary dedicated to solving the mystery of the King Tut’s death, was released. With this new information was also released accordingly showing us that the severe trauma shown on Tutankhamun matches that of a person who has been run over by a chariot wheel. His body was missing a breast bone, broken ribs and a missing heart, possibly too damaged to be preserved for the afterlife, it is clear that Tutankhamun suffered serious trauma when approaching his death. Ancient Egyptians used to leave the hearts of the dead within their body as they believed they were needed for the person to survive in the ‘other world.’ Therefore, it was immensely unusual to see a Pharaoh’s mummified body with no sign of a heart. All of the injuries ran down the left side of the body. The simulation, shows the body, on a screen, getting hit with great impact in many different ways. This is to see how Tutankhamun was hit and if it is possible that he gained his injuries from being hit by the chariot. At

Such as Tutankhamun’s rushed tomb. It was extremely cramped meaning they were forced to cut chunks out of the wall to fit his sarcophagus into the chamber. Within his sarcophagus, (a large stone container that holds Tutankhamun’s coffins,) there are also many other small things we notice that have brought us great suspicion. Much like Tutankhamun’s last coffin which held his mummified body. The coffins face appeared extremely different to any other image of King Tut we have seen before. After running a test, Dr. Amit Roy-Chowdhury found that the coffins face actually matches that of Queen Nefertiti more than it matches King Tut himself. So why was his tomb rushed? Aye could have potentially thought the faster the tomb was finished the quicker Tutankhamun could be forgotten would also eliminate suspicion or maybe he wanted ultimate power and attention straight away and didn’t want people mourning over the previous Pharaoh. Either way it’s obvious he had to play a part in the rushed tomb. On top of that, letters have been found from Ankhesenamun, written in great slabs of stone to the Hittites king, Arnuwanda The Second. One of them reads, “My husband has died. A son I have not. But to thee they say, the sons are many. If thou wouldst give me one son of thine he would become my husband.
