Thats because that's really Alexander the great and nobody has figured it out yet. Not joking. That's why there's an iron dagger and 9 layers of gold and also why the incision was on the side, something rhey did when mummifying mummies 600 years after tuts time. It's also why rhe death was sudden. And he isn't a child, alexander was 5'0 tall. And thats also why when they did a DNA test , it showed northern European ancestry. They say he walked with a limp? Alexander was stabbed in the thigh. Also was struck in the head during one of his battles.

Did not study anything history in college, but I have always loved paleontology and archeology since I was a kid. But there is no money in this profession unless you become a big name. I would love to go to these ancient places.

There was a King Tut exhibition on tour in my hometown when I was a little kid. I remember it being the coolest thing I had ever seen, and it made me want to see all the great museums of the world.

The Dagger talked about has been known as coming from meteoric Iron for at least 50 years. I remember reading about it when I was in college!

[@starkerr7014]

This is where I stopped watching. Iron from meteors was easier to obtain - why mine for it when it's sitting on the surface.

Their mastery of the craft was truly exceptional, transcending the boundaries of their time. Their skills were so advanced that they were able to create works of art that continue to inspire awe and admiration even today.

[@victoriabardsley8097]

I think what surprises me the most is that there are reliefs of Tutankhamun portrayed as a warrior king when the reality is he was so physically crippled he couldn't have walked without a cane so it's highly unlikely he would have been able to stand in a chariot or go to battle the way other Pharaohs did.

[@BookofTerrors]

My thoughts as well. He was so inbred and deformed, he could barely walk. I don't even know why they are entertaining this hypothesis.

[@YoutubeWatcher264]

Yeah. Could just be embellishments or propaganda. Edit: Or he can still be in the battle with numerous assistants and guards. This is the ancient time anyway, a leader not in the actual battle would mean they are weak and neighbors could just invade.

[@Sulkysolid]

Think “bran the broken” iykyk… 😅

[@dontcaresaveit1862]

He actually loved racing his Chariots they think that is how he probably died from a chariot accident . He had a clubbed foot probably due to genetic mutations because his mother and father were full siblings. Back in those days it wasn’t unusual for siblings to marry they didn’t know the implications of that.

[@puiip3605]

Ancient history of Egypt never ceases to stun and amaze us!

[@muzikizfun]

Harold Carter's greatest contribution archeology isn't the finding of the tomb of Tut. Rather it is his serious and meticulous attention to detail and respect for his craft. In the time before Carter, many so called archeologists were nothing more than grave robbers looking for treasure. The care the current generation of archeologists take to preserve and learn has a lot to do with Carter's example.

[@John.Flower.Productions]

Archeologist ~ A grave robber with government permission, funding and a degree. Do not lie to yourself, a grave robber is a grave robber.

[@Mart77]

Imagine being king Tut, you live happily in the afterlife for 3246 and wake up one morning to see that all your stuff is gone.

[@cpujol9420]

Never thought of that. How heartbreaking for him. He must feel totally worthless.

[@nielsbishere]

"where did I leave my dagger", the old version of the "where did my keys and phone go" in the afterlife

[@MatCendana]

Such splendid treasures for just a so-so pharaoh. Just imagine what had been laid with the great ones like Ramses II. Such a shame most tombs had been looted.

[@gregedmand9939]

I vividly recall coming face to face with some of these treasures, when they were on tour in Western Canada in the early 60's. I remember, as a 10-year-old thinking that I should feel warm, being so close to that much glowing gold!

[@catchaser52]

Maybe that is why GOLD is so popular to own, and wear.

[@OvcharkaShepherd]

With all these artifacts for a minor king, begs the question if the tombs of the greater kings were plundered, where are ANY of those treasures

[@LordKroc]

Also, why are all these artifacts in the hands of English speaking countries and not in Egyptian museum's? Just sad that the vast majority of these treasures were stolen.

We feel honored to have seen the Tut exhibition twice in San Francisco when it was traveling. The second time we took our kids. I don't think it made much of an impression on them as they were pretty young. but I felt a duty to at least expose them to it. I bought the catalog which I still have. It is very exciting to see the new research and especially the dagger found on Tut's body. The new technolgy is enabling so much new research. Thank you.

[@bethparker1500]

I was there 6 wks ago. The huge museum is not open yet, King Tut is still at the wonderful old Cairo museum, which is a joy.

[@puiip3605]

Thank you so much

[@jj-vu5ov]

i strongly doubt he was some warrior king. id bet he was just depicted this way because thats how he wanted his people to see him (or the objects didnt belong to him which is a pre-existing theory). theres stronger evidence that he had severe birth defects and that he was a fairly insignificant pharoah and died unexpectedly quite young

[@InnocentMeadows-qv6jm]

I believe he is a warrior king. He has his army and fought the bad guy. expessically if it's what he thought/ believed was the right thing to do. Wouldn't that make him a warrior ?

[@scotty503]

Arguing that properly made armour and and scenes of battle in the tomb means he was a powerful battle hardened warrior is hugely flawed, indeed spurious. Of course the armour would be top knotch and the scenes would portray conquest. The priests would not send Tut into eternity with just ceremonial useless armour. Its all part of the spin of ritual burial, and not documenting actual events. This doco may as well have been made by Erich von Daniken and is saying "it is true because we think it is".

[@maizie9454]

yeah. this documentary is flawed and nat geo should know better. this isn't accurate history

[@Banks394]

And that dagger probably had super powers in it. Fit for a king, I believe it was a gift.

[@pvb876287]

Excellent NG analysis. Changes my whole perception of TuT. The new information proves to me, that he was leading his army into the fight, the original way , pharoes were appointed to leading the Egyptian people. Rameses is portrayed as the military leader, in the Cecil B DeMille movie, The Ten Commandments. Great job on this documentary.

[@tthappyrock368]

King Tut has made a mark on the world millennia after his death in ways he could never have envisioned! Do you think he would be pleased and/or amazed at how many people across the world have been studying his life and death? Even though he was king and ruler of Egypt, it seems it would be pretty amazing to think that one would have such an impact on the world nearly four thousand years after one's death!

It's amazing seeing how the Egyptian Pharaohs lived. It isn't really important to see him as warrior Pharaoh since we can only guess. They can tell many things about him. We know the infants were his because of the DNA. I just don’t think we should make statements we can't prove. Then there is the facts that his tomb was filled with things that belonged to other individuals. His Death Mask was made to fit because it seems his wasn't ready. I just like knowing what's real and not assumed. You sound a lot like the Former Minister of Tourism and Antiquities of Egypt Dr.Zahi Hawass.
