King Tutankhamun In The 1920's

The first theory is that King Tut was murdered by his advisor. Aye, King Tut's advisor, may have wanted the throne for himself. After analyzing some evidence I found that King Tut had no blood relatives, so if he passed away the throne would go to his most trusted advisor, which was Aye. Further supporting my theory of Aye murdering Tut, was the message his wife sent to the Hittites, an enemy of Egypt. In the message she begged for them to send a prince to Egypt, possibly as a last resort so Aye will not become the king.

When she died Thutmose took her throne. He was the only pharaoh that had conquered the most land. He conquered Nubia, Syrian, Lebanese Coast, Israel, and Palestine. Later on in his life Thutmose took children from Nubia and made them Egyptians and put them back in Nubia. Thutmose III ruled Egypt for 54 years.

There is strong evidence that proves that King Tut was assassinated by his chief advisor, Ay. In an article by historymuseum.ca, they wrote, “The painting in Tutankhamun’s burial chamber depicts Ay at the “opening of the mouth” ceremony, giving life and breath to the young deceased pharaoh. Ay, a commoner, is wearing the leopard skin of a high priest and the crown of a pharaoh.” This shows that Ay must have taken the throne. This is strange because although Tut had no child, his wife (Ankhesenamun) could have ruled. This means that Ankhesenamun married Ay, even though Ay was a servant and Ankhesenamun would have married a king or pharaoh. Another piece of strong evidence Is in the article and the writer mentions that Ankhesenamun tried to marry

Horemheb and Tey killed king tut because they wanted to rule Egypt.Horemheb erased king tut and Aye’s names from monuments and took credit for their work.

King Tut was an Egyptian king that mysteriously died at age nineteen. The mystery starts when Akhenaten, who is Tut’s father marries Nefertiti and has Tut. After that, Akhenaten marries another woman and has Ankhesenamun. Akhenaten was hieratic, which means the belief in one God. Ancient Egyptians were polytheistic, which is the belief in many, or multiple Gods.

Amenhotep IV better known as Akhenaten is one of the most interesting pharaohs to have ever ruled over Egypt (BBC). He changed his name to Akhenaton, which means 'the servant of Aten' early in his reign (ehistory). He came into power around 1353 BCE and stayed in power for 17 years (BBC). His wife was queen Nefertiti and they had six daughters, he also fathered king Tut (BBC). Akhenaten was a true visionary as he made revolutionary changes to the religion and art of Ancient Egypt.

Horemheb and Tey killed King Tut. Horemheb did erase Tut, Aye, and Anke from Egypt history. His power as general and the backing of his powerful army made sure he could take the throne upon Aye’s death. Another reason for suspicion regarding Tut’s death was the hurried burrage bail. So Horemheb and Tey could have set up the death of King Tut.

Tutankhamun is one of the most famous and instantly recognisable Pharaohs of the modern world even though he lived and reigned over 3,000 years ago. The boy King was born in the 11th year of his father’s reign in 1345 BCE and died in 1327 BCE at the age of just 17 or 18 after only being in power for 8 years. Until archaeologist Howard Carter discovered his almost fully-intact tomb in the Valley of the Kings in 1922 CE, the pharaoh was almost unheard of due to the common belief that he was a minor ruler, whose reign was of little consequence. However after this discovery and subsequent discoveries due to excavations, analysis of his mummy and other historical evidence, opinions changed, so much so that today Tutankhamun is recognized as an important

Ankhesenamun might of ran away because of all of the things that were happening in Egypt.Sense Aye and Ankhesenamun did not had any children Aye could marry who ever he wanted and would be Queen of Egypt. Sense Ankhesenamun disappearing was not part of Horemheb’s plan he forced Aye to marry Tey.That is another reason why Horemheb killed King Tut.

King Tutankhamun death is a mystery that puzzles many historians, and archeologist. Many theories include, falling from a chariot, being killed by a hippo or crocodile, infection, malaria, or as I believe being assassinated. Many clues and hints have been given to support this theory. In the article Mysteries of Egypt, an X-ray was given of King Tut's skull, it revealed a blood clot at the base of his head. Could this have been caused by a traumatic hit to the head? Who would do such a thing? King Tut's elderly chief advisor Ay, is most suspected to have murdered the famous pharaoh. From the day of his birth to the time of his death Tut had a clubbed foot, and studies show he had a malaria. Did Ay murder him just for power, and blame it

Aye was going to be part of the problem before Horemheb murdered him.Aye tried to kill King Tut so that he can get the throne before anyone else can.Tey wanted to be Queen of Egypt so she married Horemheb.Her and her husband were then partners to kill King Tut,Anka,and Aye.Since Aye wanted the throne he also could of killed Tut and then he became the new King of Egypt.When Horemheb found out about him becoming King,he then killed Aye so that he can be King of Egypt and so that he can take the throne.

King Tut the boy king became the ruler of Egypt at the age of 9.King Tut died at the age of 19.Howard Carter discovered his body in 1982.In his tomb there were a lot of valuable objects even his underwear. His tomb remained untouched for over 3,000 years, King Tut lived a hard life but his death is horrific.

In addition, it was an effort to institute a monotheistic tradition in the country that was quite unfamiliar for that era and unexpected for that level of the expansion of ancient Egyptian philosophy and evolution. In fact, religion was extremely important to ancient Egyptian society because people at the era deeply trusted on the natural forces and they created different cults worshiping gods of the sun, earth, and water. In such a way, they believed that through reverencing these gods they could merit their provision and, therefore, ancient Egyptians totaled for higher harvests, revenue and improved existence which they could achieve only with the support of various deities. Moreover, it is obvious the amount to which the attempt of Akhenaten to introduce monotheism in ancient Egypt was radical. It is obvious that the honoring of one god, Aten, should change the opinion of the surrounding world and the position of gods in the life of ancient Egyptian people.

The reign of Amenophis III was the beginning of a political era of diplomatic relations and an economic upturn in Egypt. Amenophis III was original with the choice of his ‘Great Royal Wife’, Tiye, who was not born into a family of monarchs.

King Tutankhamun was born around 1342 BCE in Amarna. It is unknown who his parents were, and how he received the title of pharaoh. Akhenaten the pharaoh before him only had daughters with his wife Nefertiti. According to Michael King and Gregory Cooper Tutankhamun was the son of one of Akhenaten’s minor wives. After the death of Akhenaten Egypt was chaotic because of the changes that Akhenaten made. These changes caused Akhenaten to fall out of favor with some of the Egyptian people. When Tutankhamun came to power in 1333, he was wed to Akhenaten and Nefertiti’s third daughter Ankhesenamun. The arrangement of his marriage to Ankhesenamun was to make his claim to king legitimate. Since he was not the legitimate son of Akhenaten, marrying his daughter who had a
