King Tut's Family Mystery Summary

104 Words1 Page

According to Zohi Hawass’ article on King Tut’s Family Secrets, mummies lead archaeologists and scholars to contradicting feelings about whether they should be studied or not. Inspecting Tutankhamun’s body, artifacts and two fetuses found in the tomb drove archaeologists to pose questions needing answers. CT scan assisted in determining that Tutankhamun was nineteen years old when dying, had a broken leg, and skull’s hole. Moreover, using DNA analysis displayed Tutankhamun’s clubbed foot, missing toe’s bone, and disease’s pathogen. Both CT scan and DNA analysis helped archaeologists discover Tutankhamun’s complex family relationship and how his family sibling marriage led them to suffer from genetic diseases.

  • How Did King Tut Murder

    Another examination was conducted by a trauma specialist from Long Island University that showed that Tutankhamun may have been murdered while he was sleeping. Ankhesenpaaten would have had the ability to murder Tutankhamun in his sleep, considering they were husband and wife, and most likely shared the same bed. Also, Tutankhamun would have been asleep and unaware of Ankhesenpaaten striking him from the back to his head. Furthermore, X-rays showed that there was a thickening of a bone in the cranium which could only happen after a blood had been building up. Therefore, if Ankhesenpaaten killed Tutankhamun in his sleep, at night, she could have left him there to bleed out, which would explain the build-up of

Carter still had plenty of work to do though, to prove that this was the greatest tomb ever
