1. How old was King Tut when he died? At the time of his death, King Tut was certainly old enough to have sired an heir to the throne himself.2. Does the author suggest any foul play? 3. What information did you find concerning his death? He died of gangrene caused by a broken leg; fracture in the left thighbone as evidence for the possibility that Tutankhamun broke his leg badly just before he died. There was more than a little reason to believe that King Tut may have been murdered. The two principal suspects, Aye who succeeded him as king, and General Horemhab who in turn succeeded Aye to the throne, both appear to have been powerful men who, in effect, ruled Egypt while King Tut was a child. King Tut was certainly old enough to have sired an heir to the throne himself, which would have at least technically eliminated Aye and Horemhab from ever ascending the throne. Aye who succeeded him as king and General Horemhab who in turn succeeded Aye to the throne. Embalming material indicates that this can only have occurred during life or during the embalming process, and cannot have been caused by Carter’s team.4.

Is this site a reliable source? Explain. No, because during 7. What other "facts" are included about his death Finally, there was the issue of King Tut's widow, Ankhespaton, who was apparently forced to marry Aye after King Tut's death. Only a short time later, she disappeared from the annals of history, leading to speculation that she too might have been murdered. Furthermore, many of its parts present at the original examination by Carter are now missing, and both skin and bones were broken in numerous places, supposedly also by the Carter team. Carter’s team had noted that the patella (kneecap) on this leg was loose (now it is completely separated, and has in fact, been wrapped with the left hand), possibly suggesting further damage to this area of the body. The part of the team that subscribes to this theory also notes a fracture of the right patella and right lower leg. Based on this evidence, they suggest the king may have suffered an accident in which he broke his leg badly, leaving an open wound. Although the break itself would not have been life-threatening, infection might have set in. However, this part of the team believes it also possible, although less likely, that this fracture was caused by the embalmers".

Grace Dorrian

2. Does the author suggest any foul play? Since there is evidence that Tutankhamen was murdered by poison
3. What information did you find concerning his death? His death under mysterious circumstances followed and members of the ATLC suggest that it was Tutu who was responsible for the deaths of Akhenaton and Tutankhamen "because in the tomb of the latter, an object like a trotter was found on which graffiti invokes.
4. Who (if anybody) does the author suggest may have killed him? This source believes that it was Tutu.
5. Who succeeded Tut to the throne? King Tut became leader because his father and older brother both died so they needed someone to rule Egypt.
6. Is this site a reliable source? Explain. Yes, it is a reliable source to find information because it gave me good background on King Tut that led up to his death. Also the facts had a lot of detail that explained to me what happened to King Tut.

7. What other facts are included about his death?
1. Mohamed Saleh, Derictor-General of the Egyptian Museum, the original analysis of Tutankhamen's mummy suggested that the boy king died of a lung disease or even a brain tumor.

2. Many believe that Aye, Horemhab, or the two in league with each other did in fact kill
Tutankhamen

3. A new X-ray analysis cast more light on the subject, this time suggesting that Tutankhamen may
have been murdered in his sleep.

1. How old was King Tut when he died?
His age at death was estimated at nineteen years


2. Does the author suggest any foul play?
X-rays of Tutankhamun's mummy, taken in 1968, revealed a dense spot at the lower back of the skull interpreted as a subdural hematoma. Such an injury could have been the result of an accident, but it has also been suggested that the young pharaoh was murdered.[21]


3. What information did you find concerning his death?
A blow to the back of the head (from a fall or an actual blow) caused the brain to move forward, hitting the front of the skull, breaking small pieces of the bone right above the eyes.[22]


4. Who (if anybody) does the author suggest may have killed him?
Aye


5. Who succeeded Tut to the throne?
Aye


6. Is this site a reliable source? Explain.
This site is a semi-reliable source, because it gives you a lot of facts but it doesn’t say a lot about what I was looking for.


7. What other "facts" are included about his death?
19-year-old may well have died of complications from malaria, combined with a rare bone disorder affecting the foot called Kohler disease II, a disease typically affecting boys aged 5–9 caused when the navicular bone temporarily loses its blood supply. As a result, tissue in the bone dies and the bone collapses, producing symptoms of a club foot. He also had a curvature of the spine.

1. How old was King Tut when he died? 1341 BC – 1323 BC (18 years old)

2. Does the author suggest any foul play?

3. What information did you find concerning his death? dense spot at the lower back of the skull interpreted as a subdural hematoma. Such an injury could have been the result of an accident, but it has also been suggested that the young pharaoh was murdered

4. Who (if anybody) does the author suggest may have killed him? Doesn’t say

5. Who succeeded Tut to the throne?

6. Is this site a reliable source? Explain. Yes because it gives u a lot of information.

7. What other "facts" are included about his death? Tutankhamun's left leg most likely occurred only days before his death, which had then become gangrenous and led directly to his death. The fracture, in their opinion, was not sustained during the mummification process or as a result of some damage to the mummy as claimed by Howard Carter. The Egyptian scientists also have found no evidence that he had been struck on the head and no other indication that he was murdered, as had been speculated previously. Further investigation of the fracture led to the conclusion that it was severe, most likely caused by a fall from some height — possibly a chariot-riding accident due to the absence of pelvis injuries — and may have been fatal within hours

The medical examiner point of veiw
1.How old was King Tut when he died? 9

2. Does the author suggest any foul play? King Tut may have been poisoned, so in fact, if we are not certain as to how he died, then murder cannot yet be ruled out


3. What information did you find concerning his death?
The two principal suspects, Aye who succeeded him as king, and General Horemhab who in turn succeeded Aye to the throne, both appear to have been powerful men who, in effect, ruled Egypt while King Tut was a child. It would not be unreasonable at all to believe that, as King Tut grew into a young man, the two elder men would have resented losing much of their power. Furthermore, at the time of his death, King Tut was certainly old enough to have sired an heir to the throne himself, which would have at least technically eliminated Aye and Horemhab from ever ascending the throne

4. Who (if anybody) does the author suggest may have killed him?
the two elder men

5. Who succeeded Tut to the throne?


6. Is this site a reliable source? Explain.no because all of the souses is from a book 7. What other "facts" are included about his death? In the case of King Tut, one must first remember that his mummy is not in very good condition today. When Carter discovered it, his team basically dismantled the corpse while looking for amulets and other jewelry. Furthermore, many of its parts present at the original examination by Carter are now missing, and both skin and bones were broken in numerous places, supposedly also by the Carter team.

Answer: Additional clues come from the floral arrangement that adorned the king's neck at the time of his burial. The tomb also contained hundreds of arrowheads that show evidence of having been fired and retrieved, the film reports.

1. How old was King Tut when he died?
Does not say
2. Does the author suggest any foul play?
3. What information did you find concerning his death?
X-rays also show a thickening of a bone in the cranium which could occur only after a build-up of blood. This would indicate that the king might have been left bleeding for a long time his head while asleep before he actually died. In short, scientists suggest that the king was most probably hit on the back of and that he lingered, maybe for as long as two months, before he died.


4. Who (if anybody) does the author suggest may have killed him?
The suggestion caused a controversy among Egyptologists and scientists. If he were murdered, who did it? Was it Aye, Tutankhamen's vizier who ascended to the throne after his death and married his wife? Or was it Horernhab, the army officer who became king after Aye’s short four-year rule?
5. Who succeeded Tut to the throne?
6. Is this site a reliable source? Explain. Yes because it gives you most of the information you need to know.
7. What other "facts" are included about his death?
While Tutankhamen's murder is so much in the news, it must not be forgotten that his wife, Ankhespaton, may not be entirely ruled out as a suspect. She was the one who dispatched a message to the Syrian monarch asking him to send one of his sons to marry her following the death of her husband because she was without a son to take care of her. She indicated that she could not marry one of her 'slaves.' Was she referring to Aye (who was also much older than she)? Since there is evidence that Tutankhamen was murdered by poison, could she have been involved in a scheme with his cup-bearer? While this must be questioned, it should also be noted that she may have been forced to eventually marry Aye after Tutankhamen's death, an event that she seems not to have wanted, and soon after, disappears from ancient records. Hence, it has also been suggested that Aye may have murdered her.

So if Tutankhamen was murdered, which does seem likely, who might be the most logical suspect? Certainly it must be Aye, simply because it was he who inherited the throne, and who therefore seems to have had the greatest motive to do so (as well as some very good opportunities).

1.How old was King Tut when he died?
19 years old
2. Does the author suggest any foul play?
2. No because the article states"Now the gods and goddesses of the land are rejoicing in their hearts...the provinces all rejoice and celebrate throughout this whole land because good has come back into existence."[15]
3. What information did you find concerning his death?
Tutankhamun's mummy, taken in 1968, revealed a dense spot at the lower back of the skull interpreted as a subdural hematoma. Such an injury could have been the result of an accident, but it has also been suggested that the young pharaoh was murdered.[21] A trauma specialist from Long Island University at C. W. Post Campus insisted that this injury could not have been from a natural cause. The specialist stated that the blow was to a protected area at the back of the head which is not easily injured in an accident.[22][23] Theories as to who was responsible for the death include Tutankhamun's immediate successor Ay, his wife, and his chariot-driver.[23] Calcification within the supposed injury indicates that Tutankhamun lived for a fairly extensive period of time (on the order of several months) after the injury was inflicted.[23]
4. Who (if anybody) does the author suggest may have killed him?
In February 2010, the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that the 19-year-old may well have died of complications from malaria, combined with a rare bone disorder affecting the foot called Kohler disease II, a disease typically affecting boys aged 5–9 caused when the navicular bone temporarily loses its blood supply. As a result, tissue in the bone dies and the bone collapses, producing symptoms of a club foot. He also had a curvature of the spine.
5. Who succeeded Tut to the throne? Tutankhamun's significance stems from his rejection of the radical religious innovations introduced by his predecessor and father, Akhenaten.[6
6. Is this site a reliable source? Explain Yes, it is reliable because nit gave the info that I needed and it gave text support and details
7. Is this site a reliable source? Explain Scientists discovered a small, loose, sliver of bone within the upper cranial cavity, which was discovered from the same X-ray analysis. In fact, since Tutankhamun's brain was removed post mortem in the mummification process, and considerable quantities of now-hardened resin introduced into the skull on at least two separate occasions after that, had the fragment resulted from a pre-mortem injury, some scholars, including the 2005 CT scan team, say it almost certainly would not still be loose in the cranial cavity. But other scientists suggested that the loose sliver of bone was loosened by the embalmers during mummification, but it had been broken before. A blow to the back of the head (from a fall or an actual blow) caused the brain to move forward, hitting the front of the skull, breaking small pieces of the bone right above the eyes.[22]

King Tut was 20 years old when he died.
2. Does the author suggest any foul play?
However, one of the main reasons that murder has ragged on as a possible cause of King Tut's death is because of a fracture to the back of his head. Revealed in an X-ray of his mummy made by the University of Liverpool, a trauma specialist at Long Island University in the US theorized that the blow was not caused by an accident. However, according to Dr. Hawass,

"The entire team agrees that there is NO evidence for murder present in the skull of Tutankhamun. There is NO area on the back of the skull that indicates a partially healed blow. There are two bone fragments loose in the skull. These cannot possibly have been from an injury from before death, as they would have become stuck in the embalming material. The scientific team has matched these pieces to the fractured cervical vertebra and foramen magnum, and believes these were broken either during the embalming process or by Carter’s team".



3. What information did you find concerning his death?
Died of natural causes, rather than being murdered. Specifically, the latest report is that he died of gangrene caused by a broken leg.
Finally, there was the issue of King Tut's widow, Ankhespaton, who was apparently forced to marry Aye after King Tut's death. Only a short time later, she disappeared from the annals of history, leading to speculation that she too might have been murdered.

These circumstances all contribute to an ancient mystery, and much intrigue, a situation that was not completely uncommon in the Egyptian royal court. Attempts had, and would be made to murder pharaohs, a few of which were successful. Usually, these seem to have been plots within the harem with the goal of elevating one wife's son to the throne over another's.

Now we are told, in absolute terms, that King Tut died by natural causes. However, let’s take a little closer look.


4. Who (if anybody) does the author suggest may have killed him?
"Part of the team believes that the above scenario is absolutely not possible. They maintain that the fracture mentioned above can only have been done by Carter’s team during extraction of the body from the coffin. They argue that if such a fracture had been suffered in life, there would have been evidence for hemorrhage or hematoma present in the CT scan. They believe the embalming liquid was pushed into the fracture by Carter’s team".
He goes on to explain that:

"The team has noted a fracture of the left lower femur (thighbone), at the level of the epiphysis plate. This fracture appears different from the many breaks caused by Carter’s team: it has ragged rather than sharp edges, and there are two layers of embalming material present inside. Part of the team believes that the embalming material indicates that this can only have occurred during life or during the embalming process, and cannot have been caused by Carter’s team. They note that this type of fracture, unlike most of the others, is possible in young men in their late teens, and argue that it is most likely that this happened during life. There is no obvious evidence for healing (although there may be some present, and masked by the embalming material). Since the associated skin wound would still have been open, this fracture would have had to occur a short time, days at the most, before death. Carter’s team had noted that the patella (kneecap) on this leg was loose (now it is completely separated, and has in fact, been wrapped with the left hand), possibly suggesting further damage to this area of the body. The part of the team that subscribes to this theory also notes a fracture of the right patella and right lower leg. Based on this evidence, they suggest the king may have suffered an accident in which he broke his leg badly, leaving an open wound. Although the break itself would not have been life-threatening, infection might have set in. However, this part of the team believes it also possible, although less likely, that this fracture was caused by the embalmers".

Dr. Zahi Hawass, the Director of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), makes some interesting comments about the most recent findings on King Tut. Though he seems to mostly be in agreement with these findings, he states, for example, that, "...some (not all) team members interpreted a fracture in the left thighbone as evidence for the possibility that Tutankhamun broke his leg badly just before he died".

5. Who succeeded Tut to the throne?
There was more than a little reason to believe that King Tut may have been murdered. The two principal suspects, Aye who succeeded him as king, and General Horemhab who in turn succeeded Aye to the throne, both appear to have been powerful men who, in effect, ruled Egypt while King Tut was a child. It would not be unreasonable at all to believe that, as King Tut grew into a young man, the two elder men would have resented losing much of their power. Furthermore, at the time of his death, King Tut was certainly old enough to have sired an heir to the throne himself, which would have at least technically eliminated Aye and Horemhab from ever ascending the throne. It is also noteworthy that the young King Tut was greatly loved in ancient Egypt for restoring the Amun priesthood after the death of his presumed heretic father, Akhenaten. However, this was almost certainly the work of Aye and General Horemhab, who could have even resented Tut receiving all the glory of their work.



6. Is this site a reliable source? Explain.
Yes, because the source of reading the article is a good source for me. I say this, because the reading source has links, intelligent information, and great pictures as a roll models.
7. What other "facts" are included about his death?
So, while some recent news coverage seems to indicate that all of the questions surrounding Tutankhamen’s death have now been answered, at least for some scholars, they have not. Perhaps, once all the results of the recent CAT scan have been released, everyone may be in agreement, but there still seems to be some question, at least according to Dr. Hawass, that at least some of the team that examined the CAT scans disagree with the absolute finding that gangrene caused by a broken leg caused King Tut's death.

In fact, Dr. Hawass does reveal in recent media that we are not really completely sure how King Tut died, but that we know it was not murder. We have always had the utmost respect for Dr. Hawass, as we continue to have, but it was long suggested as a hypothesis that King Tut may have been poisoned, so in fact, if we are not certain as to how he died, then murder cannot yet be ruled out.

2. Does the author suggest any foul play
A very recent medical examination of the remains of King Tutankhamun suggest that he may have not been murdered, but died instead from an infection caused by a broken leg.More than 3,000 years after the death of the young Pharaoh Tutankhamen, questions are still being asked about how he died. Was it a natural death or was he murdered? The possibility that Tutankhamen did not die of natural causes was first raised 28 years ago when an X-ray analysis of his mummy was made by the anatomy department of the University of Liverpool. It revealed that the king may have died from a blow to the back of his head.The suggestion caused a controversy among Egyptologists and scientists. If he were murdered, who did it? Was it Aye, Tutankhamen's vizier who ascended to the throne after his death and married his wife? Or was it Horernhab, the army officer who became king after Aye’s short four-year rule? Some archaeologists suggested that Aye and Horemhab might have shared the guilt, working in cahoots to kill the boy.Early this year, a new X-ray analysis cast more light on the subject, this time suggesting that Tutankhamen may have been murdered in his sleep. The examination was conducted by a trauma specialist at Long Island University, USA, "The blow was to a protected area at the back of the head which you don't injure in an accident, someone had to sneak up from behind," said the specialist.X-rays also show a thickening of a bone in the cranium which could occur only after a build-up of blood. This would indicate that the king might have been left bleeding for a long time before he actually died. In short, scientists suggest that the king was most probably hit on the back of his head while asleep and that he lingered, maybe for as long as two months, before he died

6. Is this site a reliable source? Explain.No, because I don’t know if the information that is typed about King Tut’s death is true or false.
7. What other "facts" are included about his death? Among the evidence for the theory are at least two chariots entombed with the king that show signs of frequent use, presumably by Tut himself. "There is something greasy, something that made it easy for the wheel to move on the axle," The movement from the wheel on the axle also left a deep line." There is certainly plenty of evidence to suggest that he was not only an archer, but also a good charioteer." If Tut were injured in a chariot accident, it would be impossible to tell exactly what he was doing when he died. It was common for pharaohs of his era to present themselves as powerful warriors and take every opportunity to highlight their physical prowess.
