What Killed People Who Opened King Tut's Tomb?

This picture shows the moment of Tutankhamun’s tomb opening. It’s the only tomb found in ancient Egypt that remained intact for three thousand years. It appeared to be full of gold and artifacts. However, at least thirteen people who were present at the tomb's opening died soon after. And a rumor about "the curse of the Pharaohs" spread all over the world.
In addition, the researchers of Tutankhamun’s tomb studied the mummy, examined the attributes surrounding it, and noticed that everything was way different from what it was supposed to be. Ancient Egyptians believed that a pharaoh became close to gods after his death and spoke to them on behalf of his people That’s why the mummification process was treated with special care, and tombs were decorated with great reverence.
But why did they make an exception for Tutankhamun? Why did Osiris have his fingers cut off? And why does Tutankhamun’s mummy baffle historians to this day?

I love how the first thing people think of is a curse, rather than a disease that was trapped within the tomb, bacteria, mold, etc. Lots of stuff would be polluting the air that you are breathing in, after opening a 3000+ year old coffin, wouldn't you think? Also, I honestly feel really bad for King Tut- he died so young, suffered a lot throughout life, and even after his death, his body was immensely disrespected. Also as someone else mentioned, merely dying quite some years later does not mean "oh, it's because that guy opened King Tut's tomb!" No, it means that nobody is immortal, and everyone dies at some point.

Poor king tut. He never stood a chance. He’s the product of multiple generations of incest, which explains his deformities and sudden death at a young age. He was also made to marry his half sister, they had twins who couldn’t survive. Most likely because of, yet again, incest. If ancient Egyptians weren’t so greedy and wanted to keep their gold to their family only, they may still be alive today. Incest is what brought down the entire Egyptian empire. It all ended with Tut because his heirs didn’t survive, and thus no more Egyptian royals. All they had to do was introduce new blood into their lineage. Lol

[@kydiasan21]

Incest/inbreeding is a very common thing across royal families wanting to keep a tight grip on their wealth and status. It was practiced in England where the Greek influence wasn’t really that prevalent so I wouldn’t say that was really a major factor.

Your bigotry and racism is showing…..shhhh 🤫 It was a common practice amongst royals to practice incest which they didn’t know at the time was inappropriate.

@@tsemiu King Tut didn’t really accomplish much, and his death was a surprise and rushed, sure. To them, he was just another pharaoh.

And with his crippled body, I wouldn’t be surprised if the masses thought of him as a commoner just like them.

[@tsemiu]

@@Elbanjomon bro, he's famous because of the Pharoahs curse, the mystery surrounding his death, and the fact he took the throne as a child. I believe they said he had people ruling for him until he was old enough to rule, then ruled for 8 or 9 years until he died. He died at 19 so he was 10 or 11 when he begin his solo rule. Also he was accomplishing something. He was reversing something his father did that his people didn't like. Had to do with religion but I can't remember what it was. I think it was the God they worshipped. When he died, his successor continued his task. The reason we don't see a lot about him is because the next Pharoah after his successor did everything he could to erase him and others connected to him from history. The reason why? Who knows. Maybe he didn't like what King Tut started. Maybe because he was a new bloodline on the throne and wanted to pretend he was chosen by God from the beginning and not just took it. Idk. But I honestly wish I knew but it was probably political or religious reasons. The crazy thing about people back then is that they would go out of their way to erase history. Out of shame, jealousy, religion, hatred... all of the above. Imagine what we would know today if they didn't do that crap. Destroying temples, documents, books... crazy.

[@tsemiu]

@@Elbanjomon you cant be thought of as a commoner when you were born from a king. Crippled or not, he was royalty. You can't just use how you would feel nowadays and assume people who had the fear of the Gods in them from thousands of years ago would feel. From what I read, they most likely loved him for reversing his fathers religious reforms they didn't like. Ancient Egyptians knew the Pharoahs were able to speak with the gods after death on their behalf, no way they would treat him with any kind of disrespect. Definitely not on a wide scale. I bet there were shadow groups that plotted against him though.

Ok so facts known: - Chest crushed - Had malaria - Had a weakened immune system and brittle bones due to genetic defects If he had malaria with a weakened immune system, he was likely very weak, so he probably wouldn't be around racing a chariot and such unless it was needed. Perhaps he was being transported by chariot to some place that would hopefully be able to help him recover from the malaria. As kings generally moved in caravans, not just a singular chariot for security purposes, there would have been other chariots at least behind and at both sides of his. He may have reached a certain point and fallen out of the chariot because he was too weak to keep holding on, or the terrain was too bumpy, or he lost his grip. Obviously because king being weak is a pretty urgent matter, plus being in the middle of the desert, they'd have been travelling as quickly as possible, and so when he fell off of the chariot, the chariot behind him unintentionally ran over him because there was no time to stop. Due to his brittle bones, his chest was crushed. They probably noticed and went somewhere closer by to get more urgent medical attention, not being able to tell that he was already dead, and when they got there, the person tending to him could have thought it was a heart-based problem, or maybe his chest was crushed so badly that his heart was just mush and they had to remove it in order to clean it up and make mummification easier. It's likely the chest crushing that killed him, because of how they rushed to bury him, whereas his ancestors had their tombs worked on over a way longer period prior to their own deaths. 100% something that they couldn't predict; which is why it's likely the chest because a sickly person dying from illness isn't unpredictable.

Quick backstory about why tut’s tombe is such a mess: he died very young and unexpected so they didn’t have a tombe Made for him yet. Sinds he was so young he didn’t have kids so there wasn’t a clear new follower to become leader op Egypte. So his second in command would be the most likely follower for tut. But he was on the egyptian border fighting with the hadrians so he couldn’t plan the burriel of tut (the burrier of the deceased emperor shall become the new emperor to ancient egyptian rules) so the next persoon in line, a very high ranked politician of sorts rushed the burrial and used a second hand coffin, a coffin holder that was Only partially finished, the politician even switched tombes with tut’s burrial tombe. That is why the tombe is so small and also very different to other tombes of big emperors of egypt. The mummification was also rushed and there are even rumours a lot of the gifts in tut’s tombe wheren’t even supposed to be his but his gifts wheren’t Made yet.

His body was not "burned" like with fire, but the resins used in the mummification can get quite hot as they cure.

I read something very differently. He had A LOT of weapons in his tomb. He actually had a steel dagger that still baffles people to this day, because the only way to find steel back when was from a particular meteorite. Many believe he could have died in battle, i could see an enemy removing the heart of a soon to be king in a tomb to prevent after life or something. Who knows though, we never will unless something ground breaking is found somewhere in the world.

[@jabychador5923]

He actually died on the battlefield,he fell off his chariot and the enemy rode on his left chest crushing his heart,that why his left shoulder was also damaged..,recent research confirmed it.they checked his and akenaten dna,there was no genetic problems.

This is probably unrelated but it's strange how when we view deaths 200+ years nobody sympathizes but the reality is that humans, especially the ones at Pompeii, had horrific deaths and certainly felt terror when dying just as we did

I think it woudl be more likely there was another chariot behind him when he fell off and that ran over him than they stopped and backed over him.

[@toni4729]

Whoever wrote the script we're listening to is some sort of whack-head. He couldn't dream up a better idea for King Tut's story than the one he told. Your's sounds far more likely. In a race, another one would easily have run the good king Tut over. After that is anyone's guess.

[@gmccool1576]

Well yeah but if you think about it the incision would’ve been starting at the shoulder/head level and would’ve ran down farther as well. Unless he fell off with his feet facing the chariot behind him and the wheel caught him in the thigh/groin area and ran up to the belly button before falling off of him to the side of his stomach

[@toni4729]

@@gmccool1576 What difference does it make. Whether he's chariot ran over him or another one ran over him? Who knows which way he would have been laying on the ground?

It would have been really rotten luck if his own horses had turned round to run him over it would have been bloody lousy luck, they just don't do that.

It depends what your idea of a "Curse" is. A sealed space with a dead body in it, is a dangerous place, Full of deadly spores. Of course they didn't know this, and rushed in to tear everything apart, not knowing they were inhaling this lethal crap. Not long ago, a tourist, in Tuts tomb, scratched the walls of the tomb. She had recently had treatment for an illness, and had a compromised immune system. She inhaled some of the mould on the wall and died a short time later. So we have to ask ourselves, "Curse or rough justice." Now scientists and archaeologists usually wear masks. Mick Aston, one of the time team stars, died from aspergillosis, a fungal spore disease, probably from his career poking about in nasty old ruins.

The truth is that king Tutts tomb was not meant for him it was actually meant for his uncle or another relative and that his tomb that was much much larger was not finished yet and would not be finished at all in time so they hired someone else to very quickly make a tomb and corridor for Tutankhamen but it was not very nice and if you even look at Tutankhamen‘s coffin and sarcophagus in the surrounding encasement you could actually see things that are etched off that have change the name from one name to another and designs lettering‘s and symbols that are all changed from one to another and even areas that weren’t fully chiseled and painted in some areas of it while others were due to the fact that they needed to get it done extremely fast before the body routed even his modification was rushed due to circumstances which led to an extremely poor modification normally they soak the body in a mushy liquid and wrap it then do it again and wrap it again but they actually only did it once and then double wrapped dry on top and didn’t actually properly remove his organs They actually didn’t remove some of his organs while removing his heart which they’re not supposed to do and didn’t remove his eyes and tongue if I remember correctly wall also making odd incision types on his body and like I said they didn’t properly embalm and wrap his body like they were supposed to along with any other things that were supposed to be removed from mostly left intact which causes more rotting and problems with the body Tutankhamen also didn’t have near as much wealth in his tomb as he was supposed to why do people think that was due to the fact that many people had raided the tomb previously in the last thousand plus years but there is also a theory that the people who are bringing it in slowly Broke chairs apart that had gold on them and pieces that had gold and jewels on them and would remove them and put them in their clothes or something like that there’s a whole documentarian on Tutankhamen’s tomb and the pyramids it’s pretty awesome you guys should watch it

tut's has always looked like at least one re-burial/re-sealing had to be done. look at all the chariot wheels at the entrance to the tomb chamber - it's like they were quickly re-piled by priests/guardians. for a pharaoh, everything would have been placed with respect "nice and neat". it was like a team of movers had walked in, re-stacked everything, then left. i bet at least once the tomb was opened by robbers who don't seem to have gotten much.

I question this video. We always learned Tut was murdered, but was made to look like an accident or natural cause. I have NEVER seen a horse willingly RUN backwards especially with a chariot. That ridiculous scientist would even have that theory when it would make more sense he was ran over on PURPOSE or was made to look like he died of sickness. Long story short, Tut was murdered!

[@swapnodeepbhadra3894]

Kings and pharaohs never travelled alone (for security reasons) and generally were accompanied by other chariots which had guards and other dignitaries in them. In that convoy of chariots, the pharaoh would generally be in the front or the middle chariot. So if by any means he fell down from his chariot due to weakness, he was very likely run over by the chariots behind before they came to a halt. This probably caused his chest and heart to be crushed and hence died before his tomb was even built. Most pharohs had their tombs lavishly built when they were still alive. This was not possible for King Tut since he died unexpectedly, so probably thats why he was burried hastily and in someone else's tomb.

The *real* defenses, as I mentioned were winding, maze-like passages that lead to various chambers and rooms within the tomb. On top of these maze-like passages, they even went to the trouble to make fake, empty chambers to confuse and deter thieves. One last defense was the placement of three stone doors that they'd slide into place in front of the real burial chamber. Rather lackluster stuff, in comparison to what Hollywood shows.
