Differences Between King Tut And Malaria
King Tutankhamun’s sickness called malaria is the most logical way that Tut died so young. According to NYTimes article “Scientist have now determined that the most likely agents of death: a severe bout of malaria combined with a degenerative bone condition.” This shows that scientist may have found scientific evidence that says that Tut died from malaria. For example malaria shuts down your organs, and your organs help you have strength. If Tuts organs failed he could have fallen, and nobody was able to help, and he could not help himself. To add on to that, a researcher from NYTimes article provides us with more information to help connect to the prior example “ Previous examinations of Tut's mummy had revealed a leg fracture that happened

    Back in Egypt’s day, there was a king named Tutankhamen. He became king at the age of 10 and die at 19. Why did Tut died early and what happened to him that made him die?

    King Tutankhamun is commonly known as King Tut. King Tut became Pharaoh at age 9. He reined for 8 years, and died at the age of 17. King Tut died at such a young age that he didn't recieve his own pyramid. He, instead, got a tomb. His death mask was extremely rare. It was made of pure gold. After the discovery of King Tut's tomb, many terrible events occured. Many supersticious people believed it was "The Curse Of The Mummy." This "curse" began because Lord Carnarvon, the man who discovered King Tuts tomb, died shortly after.

    Who Is Hatshepsut

    Her cause of death and burial place were not known until about a decade ago. Scientists believe she died from an abscess following a tooth extraction. Her mummy was found in the tomb of her nurse and later moved to the Cairo Museum, where it was identified. She was identified when scientists found the extracted tooth in one of her organ jars, and were able to match the tooth to the mummy. It is hard to believe that her mummy was identified only by a tooth, when most pharaohs have elaborate sarcophaguses and tombs with their names and personal belongings. After she died, Thutmose III took over. “Thutmose III went on to rule for 30 more years, proving to be both an ambitious builder like his stepmother and a great warrior” (History.com Staff). During his reign, he would go on and try to erase all evidence of his stepmother. He had almost all the paintings where she was depicted as man destroyed, and tore down her monuments. As a result, much of the history of Hatshepsut’s great reign was lost forever. It wasn’t until 1822 when the walls of her temple at Deir el-Bahri were finally decoded and read, leading to our knowledge of her existence. Hatshepsut’s name was almost wiped from history.…

    However, the evidence most strongly points to how that King Tut was killed by Aye, and Horemheb because Aye only ruled Egypt for about 4 years after King Tut’s death supusicoly. After Aye died Horemheb became the new Pharaoh just as I thought though horemheb got really impatient and decided to end his ruling. More proof is that King Tut has cracks on his skull so he could have been hit by a block or some other object that would have done the damaged. In Conclusion King Tut could have been murdered by both, Aye and…

    Hatshepsut probably died around 1458 BCE, when she would have been in her late forties. It is assumed that she died of bone cancer, and that she may have also suffered from diabetes and arthritis. She had herself buried behind Deir el-Bahri, in the Valley of the Kings. In one final effort to legitimize her reign, she had her father’s sarcophagus moved to her tomb so they could lie together, in death. Thutmose III went on to rule Egypt for thirty more years after his aunt’s death, and, when he was in his fifties, began to remove all traces of Hatshepsut’s kingship.…

    Most people think that King Tut was murdered but I see in an online magazine that King Tut died from a broken and infected leg. “It’s official: King Tutankhamen’s death was caused by a badly broken and infected leg, refuting murderous theories about the famous pharaoh’s demise 3,300 years ago, according to Egyptian radiologists” (Hayes, 2006). Everyone believed that King Tut was killed by a blow to the back of his head, “however recent medical imaging of the mummy refutes this widely accepted theory, present today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North American” (2006). They said King Tut did not experience any violence during his death.…
