King Tutankhamun, The Pharaoh Of Egypt
King Tutankhamun, the pharaoh of Egypt, died because he was assassinated by his chief advisor, Ay. I know this because of the painting that was found in his tomb. In his tomb, there was a picture of Ay at King Tut’s funeral wearing leopard skin and a pharaoh's crown when he was only a commoner. This proves that Ay killed King Tut because he knew he could be pharaoh if King Tutankhamun died. Also, I know that King Tut was killed by Ay because there were two more deaths that followed Tut’s. King Tutankhamun’s wife, Ankhesenamun, was required to marry Ay but she refused to so she asked the King of Hittites to send her his son to marry. Though before they could be married, Ankhesenamun and the king’s son died. This proved that Ay killed King Tut

    The past theories of it being accident I think should also be put to rest. King Tutankhamen had a condition called temporal lobe epilepsy but that was not the cause of his death. Dr. Hutan Ashrafian believed that was to be the cause of his death. From the air of program on PBS which air points from which they used a variety of simulations physical tests including chemical and electronic microscopic tests on actual samples of King Tut’s mummified flesh to verify the theory that King Tut was hit by a chariot traveling at full speed pace. However, I believe that it does not prove to me that he died from that…

    Who Was Responsible For King Tut's Death

    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? I think King Tut was murdered. King Tut had all kinds of bad injuries on his body when he died. He had a tear on his cheek, missing rib cage, bone fragment in his head, deflect of hemorrhage, and broken bone leg. If King Tut had all those injuries, somebody must have killed him.…

    King Tut Research Paper

    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. He became ill because a mosiquito bit him on the cheek and it was broke open and shortly after became infected. At the exact moment he had passed away, all the lights in Cairo went out. Media claimed that King Tut wanted revenge for…

    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…

    Another theory is saying that King Tut was murdered by Ay because he wanted the throne. “It was said that Ay killed King Tut out of greed; Ay knew that by killing King Tut he would inherit the throne and became pharaoh” (King Tut one, 2005). It was said that Ay killed King Tut by a blow to the back of the head. “What also makes this story interesting is that a crack was found on the base possibly indicating that King Tut was indeed murdered” (2005). Bob Brier an Egyptologist revealed that after Ay murdered King Tut, he force Ankhesenamun to marry him some could get the throne. “Brier believes Ay forced Ankhesenamun to marry him because if she did not, Ay would not have been able to inherit the throne” (2005).…

    Causes Of King Tut's Death Of Egypt

    Imagine if a 4th grader rose to power in your town, won’t you be mad, especially if you were supposed to be the next ruler? King Tut took power over Egypt when he was just 9 years old, and he ruled until his violent death at age 19. There are many theories to how King Tut died, but after many studies there is proof that he could have been assassinated. Ay, Tuts elderly chief and successor, may have been the shooter . In Mysteries of Egypt - Cause of Tutankhamun’s death, the article states, “Since Tutankhamun did not have a child to succeed him, it appears that Ay decided to seize the crown and declare himself King of Egypt.” Also in the article says,“His (Tut’s) young wife Ankhesenamun pleaded with the king of the Hittites to send her one…

    Akhenaten: Ruler Of Egypt

    Akhenaten, the so called "Heretic Pharaoh  was a Ruler of Egypt during the period known as the 18th Dynasty. He ascended to the throne as Amenhotep IV, succeeding his father Amenhotep III. Akhenaten's brief reign, of hardly more than sixteen years, happened at a difficult time in Egyptian history; a period in which the decline of the previously unparalleled Egyptian empire seemed inevitable. Many scholars maintain that Akhenaten was responsible for this decline, but evidence suggests that it had already started. Whatever his connection with the decline of the Empire, one aspect of Akhenaten's reign is indisputable: his religious reforms. Effectively discarding the beliefs of an Empire, Akhenaten denounced the existing polytheist religious…

    Alexander the Great

    In James Romm's edit of recollections from authors Arrian, Diodorus, Plutarch, and Quintus Curtuis of Alexander's life, we are presented the good and bad tales and parts of Alexander's life. So, James Romm presents the question: Should Alexander be considered great? Like James Romm suggests, I as a modern reader have formed my own opinions of Alexander and if he should indeed be considered "Great". In my opinion, while Alexander was a man whom had qualities that could consider him great, he continuously harmed or killed those close to him and attempted to base a civilization of hypocritical principles.…

    Alexander The Great

    Alexander III of Macedon also known as, Alexander the Great, made a name for himself many years ago, but today his “greatness” is being questioned because of research conducted due to modern technology. To be viewed as great, one would need lots of evidence supporting they are a well-rounded person. I believe that Alexander had rightfully earned this title because through my research I have only found evidence that Alexander was a man of greatness. Although Alexander displayed many characteristics of greatness there are three that have stood out me, his strategy, selflessness, and influence. These reasons show clear support that Alexander was Great and never anything less.…

Overall, she passed down her legacy, becoming a legendary queen in Egyptian history. With definite proof of her power, she exhibited her strength as one of Egypt’s greatest known rulers. A subject from this chapter I would further research is killing amongst families. However, this subject is uncommon to research, royal families found it extremely common during olden times.
