What killed King Tut? Researchers may have finally found out

A British research team is taking a fresh look at forensic evidence left behind more than 3,000 years ago in an attempt to solve the mystery of what killed Egypt's King Tutankhamun. Elizabeth Palmer reports.

[@Wahee1]

Yes! This is true! Back in King tut's days, chariot races were common, they would mostly include rich priests, princes and kings... So my theory is that when King Tut had a race with someone else, he fell out of his chariot, therefore shattering his foot and kneecaps, but when kneeling the following chariot who probably was in second place, run over him, knocking him back and crushing his right ribs, pivot etc. Even if he was murdered, he wouldn't be this hardly damaged, and if HS uncle Aye or his uncle Horemheb, had tried to crush the right side of his body, they would cause too much attention towards them, in conclusion, the pharaoh tut was runover by a chariot.

[@thedukeofdunhurst6377]

Tuts neck was broke when they were removing jewelry

[@anneshields2010]

In life he was a bit of a boy racer he liked speed and so when he was on his chariots he would go pretty fast if he was alive today I think he’d still be a thrill seeker but with fast cars

[@TheClimbToImprovement]

he acutely died when he was 18 get your facts right

[@cristianv8961]

Mango Master no aye killed him he was a helper of him he married King tuts wife

[@MzFoRi3]

How does someone "acutely die"?

[@TheClimbToImprovement]

Dude I said that 12 weeks ago what ur problem so what if I had bad spelling like u never messed up Mr.perfect

[@floorteen694]

Mango Master the fact you said that '12 weeks ago' is completely irrelevant.

[@sxrkar_usa]

I think horemheb killed him

[@julian-hu9sw]

I remember at school, back at kindegarten, a couple of our teachers were doing a reading event. This years 'theme' was ancient egypt. So our P.E. teacher taught us about how much of a young king he was, then proceeded to tell us how he died. She told us "he was bitten by a snake" while asleep.

[@mylifeasbeth1968]

Who kneels in the middle of the road waiting to get hit by a chariot? (I'll tell you one thing) Not the Pharo of Egypt!

[@Casanova102986]

Stuart Tyson Smith writes in the 2001 Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt, "Any characterization of race of the ancient Egyptians depends on modern cultural definitions, not on scientific study. Thus, by modern American standards it is reasonable to characterize the Egyptians as 'black', while acknowledging the scientific evidence for the physical diversity of Africans."

[@sp1cy_nuggets]

my art teacher had told me that king tut was getting water by a river, while he was getting water, a huge hippo came up behind him and ate him. i think after a person found his corpse awhile after. i’m not sure though, so don’t attack me lol

[@zNexino]

Quick answer. He was killed by hippo when he was hunting.

[@rashadoneal3513]

Wow a Chariot accident. Yea fuckin write.

[@DepisTV]

He got killed by Aye and then married his wife. Then his wife died, and then Aye died.

[@cruzd3313]

That's why you should always look both ways before crossing the street

[@realtalkonly1515]

He was murdered, and only ignorants wont agree with this.

[@candacecassidy8416]

King Tut died as a teenager after he became full grown adult.

[@lavender2453]

[@becoollikefonzie8007]

[@cs9667]

These animated models are quite funny. So some idiot runs over the Pharaoh?lol way more logical he was crushed by his chariot. Very interesting non the less.

[@samasiaskipperable]

[@prateek2136]

This videos clears all doubts and false assumption of king tut's death he died in his late teens...while hunting and he fell from his chariot..

[@veronicamanuel5338]

he died when he was 18

[@farmers2630]

He committed suicide.

[@ziarahjalloh8435]

Watch it he was hit by the cart

[@BebebnyaHuTao]

It was hackers + aim bot, poor tut.

[@MrMagic-nw2tl]

Moses killed him the plague

[@alexiskinsey2120]

hoping that those people could find out why would King Tut died & it is very sad that he died at a young age like 19 & i don't think that he could have died from driving his horses

[@WakeUpNeo001]

Alexis Kinsey lol driving his horses lmao

[@noeliaramos18]

This is very interesting 🤔

[@meekcode6960]

sickle cell

[@angelo595]

[@bentlymayhem8413]

King Tut's uncle killed him. His name is Eye. He hit him in the head so Eye can take over.

[@mazinr4514]

it's obvious who killed him.

[@hanaamo55]

The Hyper Friends Who?

[@GULFRAZMAJEEDseye8eyes]

Most likely tutankhamun was killed by mother-in-law as her Daughter could sit on the Thrown as she couldn't have children

[@stephaniewynkoop1255]

I think he diyed because he had a leg injury or a head injury because I'm learning about Egypt in 2g😞😞😞😞😔😔😔😔😭😭😭😭😰😰😰😰😢😢😢😢😧😧😧😧😖😖😖😖

[@smithandsuperdeadeyeofthew823]

RIP Tut

[@shanebirkenfeld8644]

He broke his skull

[@The8Animals8]

A conclusion can be that he was leading the army into some battle, driving in front. Accidently he suddenly falls off the chariot, and get run over by the charioteer right behind him by accident. You know, the Tour de France effect... just in a much higher speed I guess. Tutankhamun actually got crushed by the horses' feet and the chariot Wheel(?)... fuck that

[@natashaperez9073]

[@mylifeasbeth1968]

[@cpokey87]

[@hanaamo55]

Lexi Grimbrooke Then WHAT killed him?!?

[@zengara11]

King Tut was against the Berbers at that time, the army of the Berbers would destroy his family, rape his sisters, and folk. He stood before them and offered his life to save his people, with a sword to the chest, he died. The next Pharaoh believed King Tut was the bravest pharaoh there ever existed, she he ordered the rest to remove his story, so only his people would know of him and his bravery, this way no grave robbers would condemn him from his sleep, a sorcerer placed a curse upon the place, to kill any people who would ever rob this brave king.

[@khyahnath9735]
