1. How old was King Tut when he died? 18 years old
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.
