There are conspiracies about major events around the globe and those governments covering it up, but most in the US focus on the US ones due to the loss of trust in our government around the same time period. Though, I'm not sure we ever trusted our government that much, just less so after that whole Vietnam thing.

At the time of mummification he would have been drenched in oils and resins, which solidified into a solid matrix under and around his body. He should have been left alone until the right technology could be used, but they went for hot spatulas, knives and saws.

Only in the late Bronze Age iron became more common, but still far behind bronze, and steel was still very rare and it was probably made by accident.

Considering the circumstances surrounding his death, with his wife writing a letter to their long time enemies, the advisor who had been actually running the show becoming pharaoh, the possible assassination of a Hittite prince who was intended to marry the newly-widowed queen, and the fact that in the letter Ankhesenamun mentions "being afraid" and references the fact that she would "never marry a servant" (which if Ay did marry her later could imply that it was a forced marriage) I still believe the murder theory could be a valid one. I suppose in the end we may never know the truth.
@Khenfu_Cake4 жыл бұрын
We can't know for sure, no. But modern studies of his mummy show he likely died from malaria or some other infection. And even if he hadn't, he likely wouldn't have lived for very long due to the slew of genetic conditions he appears to have suffered from (generations of sibling and father-daughter marriages will do that to you). It's even very possible these conditions acted as underlying factors for his death; like his leg injury being unable to heal properly resulting in it developing an infection. Personally I doubt he was murdered. He was most likely already a puppet and thus too useful to get rid of. I find it more likely his death left a dangerous power vacuum for his waning dynasty and Ankhesenamun probably wanted to secure its position by forming an alliance with the Hittites.

Around the same time that Howard Carter was excavatingTutankhamun's tomb in Egypt, Leonard Woolley made an amazing series of discoveries in Mesopotamia. The Royal Cemetery of Ur yielded fantastic treasures that enormously expanded our knowledge of the Sumerian civilization. Ancient Egypt has always overshadowed The Fertile Crescent in the popular imagination. Most people know next to nothing about the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians et al. It's a shame really because these ancient peoples had a cultural impact on the western civilization in every way as profound as that of Egypt and Woolley certainly deserves more recognition for his achievements in uncovering their legacy.

I went to Egypt earlier this year to tick one off the bucket list. I went to the Egyptian Museum twice over a week. Sadly, I am one of those people who want to photograph everything when I travel. In the King Tut section, there are lots of fantastic things from the outer chamber which I could shoot to my heart's content. However, there is a separate room which has all the really good stuff, and photography is strictly forbidden there and it is enforced. So, both times I went there I just stood in front of the death mask and stared at it until it was burned into my brain. It will never leave me. By a considerable measure, it is the greatest piece of art that I have ever seen or am ever likely to see. Move over Leonardo, your portrait of a minor Tuscan noble's wife pales into insignificance, and I've seen it, too. Move over Michelangelo & your fabulous statues the Pieta & David (I've seen those, too, and they are truly moving).Extraordinary doesn't even begin to describe it. Anyone with the wherewithal to see the death mask MUST do so before they die. Go. You will never regret it.
