    King Tut

    King Tutankhamen was the 12th, and one of the last, Egyptian pharaoh’s of the 18th dynasty. He lived during the period of Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom.

    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…

    Tutankhamen's Mysterious Death

    Tutankhamun (Tutankhamen) was born in Egypt in 1341 B.C. In 1323 B.C. Tutankhamun died of an unknown death; he was only 17 or 18 years old. Before he died he got to live a short time as a ruler. After his body was exhumed, there have been signs that Tutankhamus could have been murdered, or died from an infection from an injury. “Historians generally agree that he was the twelfth ruler of the 18th Egyptian Dynasty, who assumed the throne when he was eight or nine years old. Before puberty he was married to his half-sister (or, possibly, niece) Ankhesenamen, daughter of Queen Nefertiti. He reigned until his death in his late teens. Some studies of his remains suggest that he was killed by a blow to the head, but more recent analysis indicates that he died from an infection after breaking his leg.” (Tutankhamun, (2012).…

    Tut Discovery

    This is a living example of technology advancement. We accepted things and events attributing their cause to nature and her wrath. 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. The mummy referred to here is that of King Tut or Tutankhamen, meaning the living image of Amun. The earlier ruler, Amenhotep-IV has shocked the country by attacking Amun, a major God, smashing his images and closing all his temples. His family had ruled for centuries before the boy king, Tut took over. However, Tut ruled for nine years and then died both mysteriously and unexpectedly.…

    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…
