The mysterious death of pharaoh Tutankhamun has remained unsolved for thousands of years

Egyptian Pharaoh

Tutankhamun was one of the most famous kings of the ancient world . He was a pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, ruling Egypt from the age of 8 or 9. After 10 years of rule (from about 1332 BC to 1323 BC), Tutankhamun suddenly died.

For centuries, researchers have tried to decipher the cause of death of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. In 1922, his tomb was discovered.

This was found in the Valley of the Kings. Among the thousands of artifacts excavated there, the most notable is the sarcophagus containing the mummy of this famous Egyptian pharaoh.

Experts meticulously opened the coffin of

Tutankhamun. They were surprised when the king's body was placed in three layers of coffins.

The innermost coffin is made of pure gold; the second coffin is made of gold-encrusted wood, inlaid with colored glass; the outermost and largest coffin is made of gold-plated wood.

After thousands of years, the mummy of Pharaoh Tutankhamun is still almost intact. Therefore, experts hope that testing and analysis of the mummy will help clarify the cause of death of this king.

In 2015, a CT scan of the mummy of Pharaoh Tutankhamun revealed that he had broken his left femur just days before his death. Researchers believe that the injury may have come from Tutankhamun's penchant for hunting wild animals in a chariot.

During that hunting trip, Pharaoh Tutankhamun had a serious accident that was not life-threatening, but the infection may have been the main cause of his death.

However, later tests and analyses showed that bone fragments found in the skull of pharaoh Tutankhamun showed that he was assassinated with a strong blow to the head.

However, many researchers disagree with the above conclusion and believe that some of the broken bones on the skull of Pharaoh Tutankhamun may have occurred after his death. During the embalming process, the workers may have made a mistake that led to the broken skull of the Egyptian king.

The above hypotheses and viewpoints are quite reasonable but lack scientific evidence. Therefore, experts have been trying to find an answer to the cause of death of Pharaoh Tutankhamun as soon as possible.
