King Tut: A Product Of Inbreeding

111 Words1 Page

King Tut, whose real name is Tutankhamun, was a product of inbreeding. His parents are believed to have been siblings; therefore, he suffered many inherited diseases. According to the video, which was a CT scan that scientists recreated, King Tut had buck teeth, wide hips, and a clubfoot. This information proved that he could not have died riding a chariot, because he could not stand on his own. He was buried with many walking sticks, and according to history this was a way to represent his power; however, it is now believed they were used to assist in his walking. The scientists also believes that he may have died of malaria.

    There’s a saying that “wisdom comes with age.” It it mostly correct, but every rule has an exception. In the case of King Creon and Prince Haimon, this adage is not validated.

  • The Legacy Of Hatshepsut's Reign During The 18th Dynasty

    953 Words  | 4 Pages

    The legacy of Hatshepsut’s reign during the 18th Dynasty is recognised as an important feature in understanding her commitment and responsibilities as female pharaoh of Egypt. As the daughter of Thutmose I and Queen Ahmose, Hatshepsut ruled Egypt under the traditions of past pharaohs though representing herself as a man. Everything that Hatshepsut contributed to society reflected on her representation as pharaoh and her reigning tributes; this is mainly suggested through her surviving monuments, for example the Deir el-Bahri in Egypt today. Hatshepsut’s legacy was an important contribution to Egypt during this time period. It was the time of the development of the New Kingdom, the beginning of a new testament.

  • Tutankhamun's Tombs Of The 18th Dynasty

    The maturity of his skeleton and wisdom teeth are able to confirm that Tutankhamun was approximately nineteen years of age at the time of his passing, but life expectancy at the time was generally into the mid-forties at least, with many Pharaohs surpassing this. (Anon., n.d.)Evidence such as this and the comparatively smaller size of the tomb indicate that the young Pharaoh’s death occurred unexpectedly and left little time to prepare a standard royal tomb of the 18th Dynasty. It has been noted by the tomb’s founder, Howard Carter, that the state of the tomb’s antechamber was one of “organised chaos,” and that shrines surrounding Tutankhamun’s sarcophagus, “had obviously been banged together, regardless of the risk of damage.” The tombs crammed display of the Pharaoh’s possessions is yet another indication of a scurry to prepare a tomb. The sarcophagus’s lid was also, oddly, made from two slightly different coloured blocks of granite.
