Well, Tut also changed the religion back to normal, after his father, Akhenaten, changed it to a one god worship.

Yes, King Tut may have had a disease that would have made it hard for him to walk and turn his head. Maybe this was a sign of weakness to others who thought that their Pharaoh should be someone strong?

Yes it turns out that he had scloerosis (Don't think i'm spelling that right) and clipofile (Don't think i'm spelling that right either). Further to that, one of the little mumified feotuses had scolerosis also.

Scoleosis! That's the one! I new it was something like that. Yes apparently to turn his head to one side he would have to had moved his entire body.

well i'll tell you all I know- and that's a lot. I personally think that aye was the most likely to murder tut, as he was jealous of his power and he was growing old. tut was only nineteen when he was murdered. yeah, someone hit him hard in the back of the head with something, which would have been easy since he had been born with a condition that made it so that he could only turn to look somewhere if he twisted his waist around. He couldn't turn his head. I personally think also that, if you're doing a report on him, that you should have some info on what he was like before someone killed him. lots of people say that he was the son-in-law of Akhenaten, but I think it was more like he was his son and his mother was kiya, who disappears from texts around the 12th year of akhenaten's reign. I think she was murdered also. But, you say, why would someone want to murder kiya? well, from the few artifacts that were found showing her, she was very pretty, and, well, she was Akhenaten's Greatly Beloved- the one wife he had that he was actually in love with. Nefertiti, his main wife, got jealous of how much attention Kiya was getting (remember, this is only my theory {I also think that this was because Nefertiti had given birth to all daughters and Kiya finally brought forth Akhenaten's first son} you don't have to believe everything I'm saying), and she did away with her. Ancient remnants of blood splatters were found in the pond and on the floor in the courtyard near what was believed to be Kiya's suites that suggests that this was the place of her murder. However, her remnants have not been found. Another thing that suggests she was murdered is that there was a tomb being readied for her- but her name was crossed out- around the 12th year of Akhenaten's reign- and the name of one of his daughters, Ankhesenpaaten, was put over it. However, in this tomb, pictures of her remain. Most think she was of Mitanni heritage, but these tomb reliefs show that she had physical features that suggest she was Egyptian. Hope all of this helps!

Check out the section on 'Queens of Egypt' on 'What question would you ask an egyptologist?' I can't be bothered to write it again but you may find my post interesting.

Dear Kiya 1220....

Where did you read that they found blood by the pond? I would like to learn a little more about that. I'd never heard of it before.

P.S. Nice theory, I've never thought about that.

Hi! I'm a ten year old kid and I'd like to tell you my theory of how King Tut died.

On Discovery Channel, they showed a documentary called King Tut's Assasination. They said that King Tut had a spinal problem called Scholeosis and that was one of the possibilities of how he died. Later on, They said that found two children in Tut's tomb. The oldest one also had Scholeosis, which probably ment the children were Tut's. In the end, they said Aye was Tut's murderer and to become Pharoh, he had to be a part of the royal family. So, he forced King Tut's wife to marry him and finnally got to be Pharoh. After, he might have killed her.He ruled a few years and then Horemhed took over.

And that's my theory! Thanks for reading!!!
Very Happy

hey I honestly don't remember where I read that but I do know it was a long time ago... I've been studying king tut since I was in first grade, after I gave up on cleopatra when I found out she was the end of the Egyptian empire... But I honestly don't even remember if I read it... yeah. If you have any other questions just ask-- even if I am really young, I'm an expert on the Amarna Period! Thanks lots,
