The death of King Tutankhamen has always been a mystery. Archeologists believed, King Tut, was murdered because there was damage to the skull. The assumption was, King Tut may have been killed in battle or assassinated. The mysterious death of King Tut has been confirmed by
DNA analysis, that he died from Malaria. Malaria is a disease caused by infected mosquitoes and continues to be a problem today in Central and West Africa.
The Journal of the American Medical Association analysis, was lead by Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquites, head Zahi Hawass and investigated five generations of Kings.
The 11 mummies, including King Tut, were tested from 2007 to 2009, underwent extensive examination, involving X-rays and gene analysis. The family line went as far back as King Tuts’ great-grandfather, and down to two fetuses buried in Tut’s tomb, that he fathered. Using DNA to trace and confirm science, the results were King Tut died from Malaria, but also had a hereditary bone necrosis. King Tut had a club foot and compounded with the Malaria, caused his early death.
The boy King only reigned for nine years until his death at age 19. Foul play was always suspected because of the short time he was King.
The study relied on 5 million dollar genetic analysis lab, built under the Cairo museum housing many of King Tut’s artifacts.
