    King Tut Research Paper

    Another incident that occured was the explorer and founder of the location of King Tut, Howard Carter's pet canary had been bitten by a cobra and shortly after died. Another story is that at two o'clock in the morning as Lord Carnarvon was dying, his pet dog howled and dropped dead as well. No one had put together the fact that it was ten years after he had discovered the mummy, that all of this occured, some call it coinscidence, some call it the curse of the mummy. Recent studies show that the logical reasoning behind "the curse" was bacteria on the wall. The bacteria could release air bourn cells causing a person to become ill. King Tut was born in 1343 BC. King Tut changed his name because of the pressure people were putting on him, they said his current name resembled a god, Amun, too much. His previous name was Tutankhaten, later changed to Tutankhamun. His father was the Heretic King.…

    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…

    The Administration of Horemheb

    Horemheb rose to power during the reign of the Amarna predecessors, yet he blamed the deplorable state of Egypt on them, concomitantly attempting to remove all indication of their reigns-destroying everything related to the Aten heresy; “His majesty took counsel with his heart… expel evil and suppress lying”. The punishments that Horemheb demonstrated was not unusual for a pharaoh, he begun destroying Tutankhamen and Ay’s names replacing them with the title of his own name. Then he began the dismantlement and destruction of both temples and building sites that were built dedicated to the worship of Aten-including the city of Akhetaten. Temples at Karnak, Helipolis and Memphis were all deconstructed. Redford outlines the careful plan that Horhemheb’s crews were to abide by. Whether or not Horemheb was the pharaoh that ordered the desecration of the tombs, buildings and monuments for those pharaohs who were associated to the Amarna revolution cannot be definitely proven; conversely we are aware that Ay’s sarcophagus was destroyed concomitantly his name was…

When the Mongols would come into a close presence of any leader, most of the leaders get suspicious because they fear that the Mongols may try to overtake them.

    How Did Nefertiti Influence Ancient Egypt

    Aside from her children, her legacy varies upon speculation, but her daughter Ankhesenaten did marry the future King Tut. It is speculated that the great queen could have died, but there’s less evidence to prove that theory, than Nefertiti possibly ruling Egypt as her husband’s co-regent, and using the Neferneferuaten. Female pharaohs secretly ruling isn’t entirely unheard of, since female pharaoh Hatshesput had ruled Egypt disguised as a man. Another indicator is the fact that whoever ruled after Amenhotep IV, was trying to reverse his religious policies. At first glance, the connection may not be evident, but there’s proof that Nefertiti hired a scribe to make offerings to the deity Amun; pleading him to remove the kingdom’s darkness. In short, the person to complete her wish, would soon be her son-in-law King…

Akhenaten was also suspected of having two more sons, Smenkhkare who succeeded him on the thrown, and Tutankhamun whom reigned after his brother. Both sons were born from different mothers. His first wife Neferiti, who was renamed to Nefernefruaten by the Pharaoh Akhenaten, which translated, means “beautiful is the beauty of Aten,” was also known as the “great royal wife” during the early years of his reign.

However, advancement and technology could give us a different picture. This way, it has become a habit with us to accept everything that history states and dictates. On the process the modern world has found ways to offer a different view on it. In other words, the modern world has turn impossibilities to possibilities. William’s report gives an insight into this. A mummy scanned after a thousand years has opened new avenues regarding a cause of it’s’ death.

This why some believe King Tutankhamen was murdered and murdered by someone close to him or his family because of power and the dislike of his father Akhenaton.…
