1. How old was King Tut when he died? More to sort of heighten the pathos of the wealth of the tomb and the fact that he wasn't terribly old when he died.
2. Does the author suggest any foul play? Various artifacts also bear depictions of Tut in the act of hunting,
3. What information did you find concerning his death? "He had an accident when he was hunting in the desert,"
4. Who (if anybody) does the author suggest may have killed him? The article did not reveal the information.
5. Who succeeded Tut to the throne? The article did not reveal the information.
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.
