The ancient Egyptian king Tutankhamun left a curse of death or he died of assassination . in fact just a hoax.
In the morning 90 years ago, British archaeologist Howard Carter, along with Lord Carnarvon, sealed the grave of the tomb of King Tutankhamun with the treasure of the Valley of the Kings . This is the first time archaeologists discovered the tomb of an Egyptian king quite intact. Besides mummies, they also found nearly 5,000 artifacts, including many precious gold items to help people learn more about ancient Egyptian history.
King Tutankhamun is the youngest and most famous Pharaoh among Egyptian emperors. He was a national ruler for 10 years and died at the age of adolescence (19 years old). Humans have woven many anecdotes, secretly lost to this king. Here are some secrets about King Tutankhamun that many people may not know:
1. There is no death curse
Archaeologist Carter sealed the tomb of King Tutankhamun in November 1922 under the financial support of wealthy lord George Herbert - an enthusiast of ancient Egyptian history. Since then, rumors of curse and strange deaths, of unknown reasons for those involved in the excavation of the resting place of the great Pharaoh began to appear.
Tutankhamun's deadly curse does not exist, but the action and conspiracy to kill a fanatic.
According to some documents, during the discovery of King Tutankhamun's grave, Lord Carnarvon saw a text that said: 'Death will quickly come to you if anyone dares to encroach upon the emperor's peace. . '.
Four months later, Lord Herbert died of a mosquito bite resulting in a blood infection. Later, Lord Carnarvon also died. Death also came to his half-brother and his assistant, in turn, followed by an American billionaire who had visited the grave, the photographer, the doctor who had taken the X-ray. Marinated by Pharaoh, a colleague of his name, Arthur Meis (also involved in excavation of the tomb) and Lord's wife, Mrs. Almina. Most people who participated in the excavation process died mysteriously. Therefore, it is speculated that the curse of King Tutankhamun fulfilled.
However, the authorities finally determined that the inscription in the king's tomb was due to the "creative" reporters.Tutankhamun's deadly curse does not exist, but the action and conspiracy to kill a fanatic.
In the book of the historian Mark Benyon, a devil worshiper, Satister, Aleister Crowley is the culprit who caused the deaths of six of the 20 people who excavated King Tutankhamun's tomb. Even the police discovered that he was planning to carry out the 7th murder and made people believe that the deadly curse of King Tutankhamun was real.
The historian Benyon said, Crowley seemed to imitate the murder of murderer Jack Ripper. In addition, he believed that if he killed more and more people, his crimes would be more difficult to be exposed.
Another reason Crowley's crimes were not discovered in many years was because everyone believed in the curse of the ancient Egyptian mummy and never thought of the possibility of them being murdered.
2. King Tut died probably due to an accident
For many years, many scholars have speculated that the sudden and mysterious death of Tutankhamun at the age of 19 was due to assassination. It is said that he was hit by a killer on the head, leading to death.
Recently, experts have determined that the crack in King Tut's skull was an accident during the mummification or because the people of Mr. Carter's archaeological team were not careful to 'ruin' his corpse. this young king.
King Tutankhamun is one of the most famous Pharaohs of ancient Egypt.
In 2005, a study showed that before the death of King Tutankhamun, he suffered a broken leg and infection because the wound was not thoroughly treated. According to one theory, King Tut had a leg injury due to falling horse during a hunting trip. In addition, scientists tested the mummy's DNA in 2010 and found out that the emperor had malaria. This disease may be the cause of worsening an infected wound in the leg or causing him to fall off a horse. It was also hypothesized that a hippopotamus that had bitten the emperor caused him to die at a very young age.
3. King Tutankhamun changes the order of his father
During his reign, King Tutankhamun did not seem to have caused major events. However, the young king conducted a reform of great significance. His father, King Akhenaten, is considered the Aten god - Egypt's most important god. He is also more worshiped by the people than other gods. In addition, King Akhenaten moved the Egyptian capital from Thebes to a new land in Aten. But since the throne, King Tutankhamun is said to have reversed religious orders among the people. Specifically, the young king restored the worship of the god Amun and did not worship his father as before. He also ordered to move the capital back to the ancient land of Thebes. In addition, he changed his name from Tutankhaten (the name associated with Aten) to Tutankhamun (the meaning of the new name associated with the god Amun).
4. King Tutankhamun is the product of incestuous love?
In 2010, researchers performed this mummy DNA analysis and produced very shocking results. They believe that the great young king of Egypt was born due to the incestuous relationship between pharaoh Akhenaten and one of his sisters. Inbreeding marriage is one of the traditions of the ancient Egyptian royal family. At that time, it was thought that they were descendants of the gods and marrying family members was a way to maintain pure blood, without being doped.
Not only born in a close relationship, King Tutankhamun also married his sister, Ankhesenamun.
Experts said that the trend of inbreeding leading to babies born will be at high risk of birth defects like cleft palate .
Not only born in a close relationship, King Tutankhamun also married his sister, Ankhesenamun .
5. King Tutankhamun is buried with premature dead children
When archaeologist Carter discovered KingTankhamun's tomb, he saw a room filled with priceless gold and silver like statues made of pure gold, jewels used in ceremonies, small boats expressing wishes. Want to journey to the Netherworld and a temple to contain the marinated organ of Pharaoh. In addition, the grave site has two small coffins containing two child corpses.
After DNA testing, archaeologists were astonished to discover that one of the two corpses was the deadly daughter of King Tutankhamun. The remaining mummy also seems to be the son of this king. Experts hypothesize that the young king and his sister gave birth to children from inbreeding so they often suffer from deformities and premature death.
6. King Tutankhamun actually has a face with teeth and legs
Thanks to the virtual autopsy technology when using more than 2,000 tomography photographs combined with genetic genetic analysis, King Tutankhamun actually had a face with jagged teeth and bad legs.
Scientists also believe that the king died due to his weak condition and diseases, resulting from his parents being siblings.
At that time, the ancient Egyptians did not object to such relations and they did not know that in-marriage marriage would cause great harm to the children born from this relationship.
The foot image of King Tutankhamun is a consequence of inbreeding marriage.
These new findings have just been published in the documentary " Tutankhamun: The Truth Is Clarified " broadcast on British television channel BBC One.
