Recommended: King tut death theories

Have you ever wanted to solve a mystery? Well you can today can! King Tut died very mysteriously. We don’t know for sure what happened but there is a few theories about how he did die. I believe that King Tut was killed far away from home. He got knocked out and then Aye ran him over. I think this because he had had a blood clot so that means he might have gotten a blow to the head. He was also found far away from home. Aye and Ankhesenamun planned out the attack. They were the one of the very few who talked to Tut daily. Aye was the Chief Advisor and Ankhesenamun was his wife, which means they would know when he was leaving or when he going somewhere. A ring surfaced to the ground that had Aye and Ankhesenamun’s name written on it. This

  • Theories Surrounding Hatshepsut

    Tuthmosis II and Hatshepsut had a daughter together named Neferure. Hatshepsut’s father died when she was very young, probably around 15 years old. Tuthmosis II took over, but only ruled for about three or four years, when he died from what is believed to be a skin disease. After his death, Tuthmosis the III, Hatshepsut’s stepson, was still too young to rule, which led to her ruling as Queen’s Regent. Her charismatic personality and group of followers led to her becoming pharaoh about seven years into Tuthmosis III’s rule.

  • The Challenges Of Queen Hatshepsut

    1633 Words  | 4 Pages

    After Hatshepsut 's death, Thutmose III destroyed or defaced her monuments, erased many of her inscriptions and constructed a wall around her obelisks. Thutmose III did that to take the credit for all of Queen Hatshepsut’s work in 22 year period that she reigned. It was unlikely, for women to be king and Thutmose III took all her work as his own work. Though past Egyptologists held that it was merely the queen’s ambition that drove her, more recent scholars have suggested that the move might have been due to a political crisis, such as a threat from another branch of the royal family, and that Hatshepsut may have been acting to save the throne for her stepson. Hatshepsut was only the third woman to become pharaoh in 3,000 years of ancient Egyptian history, and the first to attain the full power of the position. Cleopatra, who also exercised such power, would rule some 14 centuries later. There have been rumors and stories about Thutmose III wanted to overrule Queen Hatshepsut reign. It was his reign actually, but Thutmose III was a child and could not rule Egypt. Thutmose I and Ahmose rulers of Egypt, and was the mother and father of Hatshepsut. As people talked back then Queen Hatshepsut was the first female to become Egypt’s king. She ruled for over 22 years of reign in peace. She was married to Thutmose II, and had

  • Otzi Murder Theory

    1293 Words  | 3 Pages

    Scientists are constantly trying to solve the mystery of why he died, and have been coming up with many different theories about his death. No one can know exactly, but one theory of a few stands out to me and makes a little more sense than the rest. Maybe against a different clan, maybe he was guarding his territory, or maybe his village or campsite was attacked and he escaped into the mountains where his attackers followed him. Another theory is that he was a sacrifice who willingly offered himself to be killed for his Gods or some ritual that they followed back then. The last theory, and the one I think has the most evidence in favor of it, is that he was murdered by someone from his clan, or at least a lone man who wanted revenge on him, but did not want to be identified.

  • Nefertiti

    822 Words  | 2 Pages

    Little is known about the origins of Nefertiti but it seems unlikely that she was of royal blood. We know of no one claiming to be related to Nefertiti. Her father was possibly a high official of Amenhotep III and Akhenaten called Ay, who went on to become Pharaoh after Tutankhamun. "Nefertiti may have been a foreigner who, quite literally, arrived at the Egyptian court in order to marry the king"(Tyldesley 1999). There is no firm date for the royal marriage; although monumental evidence suggests that it occurred either just before or shortly after Amenhotep's accession to the throne. Akhenaten and Nefertiti had six daughters, the elder three being born at Thebesm and the younger three at Amarna: Meritaten (Beloved of the Aten'), Meketaten (Protected by the Aten'), Ankhesepaaten (Living through the Aten'), Neferneferuaten (Exquisite Beauty of The Sun Disc'), Neferneferure (Exquisite Beauty of Re'), and Setepenre (Chosen of Re') (Tyldesley 1999). It is possible that she also had sons, although no record has been found of this. It was a practice in Egyptian art not to portray the male heirs as children. Possibly, she may have been the mother of Tutankhamun, the boy pharaoh who succeeded to the throne at the age of eleven and died nine years later (Sporre 2000).

  • Cleopatra, Egypt And The Last Bloodline Of The King Of Egypt

    631 Words  | 2 Pages

    Cleopatra was having multiple problems as ruler of Egypt so she married her ten year old brother to help her rule Egypt. Some of the problems she was having was with Rome. The massiveness of Egypt made the leader of Rome jealous, so the ruler of Rome was trying to take over and invade Egypt. Another reason was that it was hard for her to make some of the decisions. For example, if someone was mocking Egypt she needed help deciding if she should attack them or leave it alone. Even though she married her brother, that didn’t stop Rome from trying to take over Egypt. Supposedly, Cleopatra figured that out, so many think that her brother’s death was caused by her. Many others think that its possible that even though Romans could attack, they wouldn’t have, because some think that they sent an assassin to take care of him for good. Whoever’s plan it was, it has worked. You must think about it though, maybe he died of an infection or disease caused from lack of hygiene, the Egyptians could have been striking out, or the Romans could have captured him. It is possible, because they never recovered the body.
