(Edwards 6061) Seventy days after his death, the Boy King was placed into his tomb to rest in peace. (Networks 9)The current theory of the boy king’s death is dying in a chariot accident. This might explain why his heart was not preserved. Some people thought he had blood poisoning which he couldn't handle because of his sick body. Others thought he died from murder because of the hole in the back of Tut’s head.

(Networks 10) When carter first went to Egypt he was 17 years old. (Edwards 77) Later, the jars that were filled with the organs were placed in the tomb along with his mummy. (Edwards 59) King Tut was buried on the tomb that was built in the valley of the Kings. (Networks 9) People who studied the body, found proof that the body had been cooked. Researchers assume that the body caught on fire because of the humidity, temperature and oxygen levels were in the right condition for the oils in the linen to smolder. The oils used to preserve the body had been soaked up by the linen bandages that were wrapped around the young King’s body. The tomb and the decorations were probably for someone else, but it was used as the resting place for the King. (Rogers 34,35) Two coffins that contained two baby girls were found placed next to Tut’s coffin. There were three big couches whose sides were covered in the shapes of beasts, two overturned chariots, and a throne found in the tomb.

There were three; one stacked inside the other, with the last one made of gold. (Networks 11) Page 4 of
