as only through a ring found many years later, displaying the Cartouche of Aye and Ankhesenamun that we know they were married before her death. The tomb of Ankhesenamun has not been found. Maybe we could unravel more of this mystery if we could find her final resting place. Maybe we would add more mystery.4 deaths in less than 12 years seems well above the average (King Tut’s mother and father, King Tut, and Ankhesenamun). And back to King Tut, 19 seems pretty young to be dying. Especially being pampered royalty. Egyptians treated the Pharaohs as Gods. They actually worshipped them. And Tut was no exception. Even though he took the throne at age 9, he was a well-respected leader. It becomes apparent that Aye, the senior leader, probably made most of the political decisions, but King Tut was the revered leader.So what is it that Tut died from? Sure, the pictures on the walls don’t help us, but can’t technology help? We can tell King Tut’s age, can’t we tell the cause of Death? Where is Quincy when you need him?In the 1960’s; x-ray technology was used on the mummy of King Tut. Interesting things were discovered when radiologists looked at the x-rays. King Tut’s skull was broken, in the back; near where the Neck and Skull join. The area near the breakage is calcified immensely. It was no doubt that this kind of damage to the back of the skull would be a blow that would cause death. If you look at Xray below, you can see the damage I speak of in the Lower, left Hand corner of the skull (Marked in Yellow). But how do we know that this damage wasn’t done after King Tut’s death? As I mentioned, the damaged area was calcified. That means that King Tut had been alive, and the body had tried to repair the damage. He was probably Comatose, and judging from the amount of Calcification, it is guessed that the Coma lasted a few weeks. To drive the point home, review the lo...
