    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?

    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.…

    Who Is Hatshepsut

    Hatshepsut was 12 when she married her half brother, Thutmose II. She got married because her father, Thutmose I, who was the Pharaoh of Egypt (circa. 1500 B.C.), had died. Thutmose II inherited the throne from Thutmose I. Thutmose II was the son of Thutmose I, like Hatshepsut, but not her full brother, because he was born to one of her father’s (Thutmose I’s) other wives. This was normal in ancient Egypt, as they had to keep the royal blood in the line of the throne. Thutmose II ruled for 15 years, until his death in 1479 B.C. After his death, Hatshepsut became the acting pharaoh. Hatshepsut was the first female leader with full powers of a male pharaoh, and is considered by many to be one of the best.…

    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…

    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…

    At around 1800 B.C., Egyptian pyramid-building was stopped once and for all. Historians are still left wondering exactly why they stopped building pyramids, but there are some known facts about the end of pyramid-building. Once pharaohs stopped being buried in pyramids, they were buried in tombs cut from rock, typically on mountainside. Also, the grave robberies went down greatly, most likely due to the fact that the graves were no longer very easily accessible.…
