What's the truth about the death of Pharaoh TangCarmen in ancient Egypt 18?

On the tomb of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun, there is an epitaph: "Anyone who interferes with the peace of the Pharaoh will die on his head."

For decades, after the hype of various movies and novels, the "Pharaoh's spell" has become more and more fantastic, which not only makes the tomb robbery.

Many archaeologists and tourists are worried because tourists are discouraged. Recently, despite the threat of incantations, Egyptian archaeologists conducted a comprehensive examination of Pharaoh's body with high-tech equipment, thus uncovering the mystery of the death of the young Pharaoh in ancient Egypt 3,300 years ago.

Tutankhamun was an Egyptian Pharaoh in 18 BC. He ruled Egypt from 1336 BC to 1327 BC. Tutankhamun is not the most outstanding Pharaoh in ancient Egyptian history, but he is the most famous Egyptian Pharaoh today. Since 1922, when British archaeologists howard carter and Count carnarvon discovered the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, the dazzling array of funerary objects in the tomb, the world-famous golden colossus and the creepy curse of Pharaoh have aroused great interest of the world, but people are most concerned about the young Pharaoh himself. Tutankhamun, 19 years old, died suddenly and mysteriously. He died too early, was buried in a hurry, and was injured in the back of his head ... People believe that there must be some big secret behind his untimely death. ...

Young Tutankhamun died of murder?

The mystery of the young king's accidental death caused a series of questions, which induced modern explorers to try their best to break through the fog of history, travel through time and space, and touch the ancient and mysterious ancient Egyptian world.

According to scattered historical records handed down, Tutankhamun's father, Okhennathan, was a famous "pagan" king in ancient Egypt. He tried his best to "reform" and changed ancient Egypt from polytheism to monotheism. His practice was controversial and jealous at that time, and his son Tutankhamun was likely to get into trouble.

Judging from the situation in Tutankhamun's tomb, expect the unexpected, whose tomb is narrow and small, seems to have been buried in a hurry before it was repaired. At first glance, it seems that it is not for the royal family, and the decoration is also sloppy. A lot of paint was splashed on the mural on the tomb wall, and no one cleaned it. However, some funerary antiques that have attracted the attention of the world are not his own daily necessities, because archaeological discoveries show that these antiques are engraved with other people's names, and Tutankhamun's name was temporarily added after the original name was erased. The process of mummification is not to soak the corpse slowly with antiseptic spices like other pharaohs, but to pour buckets of antiseptic spices on the mummy.

1968, after the mummy was allowed to undergo X-ray examination, researchers at the University of Liverpool in England found a displaced bone in the brain cavity of the deceased, with a shadow on the back of the head similar to a blood clot. Dr Harrison of the research team said: "There is nothing unusual about the edge of this shadow, but it may actually be caused by intracerebral hemorrhage in this area. This kind of internal bleeding is probably the result of a blow to the back of the head. On the contrary, this blow is most likely the cause of death, which means that Tutankhamun is likely to die of murder. "

Three suspects

When clues gradually emerged from the sinking of history, all kinds of doubts shrouded in this tragic story flashed mysteriously.

Who is the murderer of the king? What a short and extraordinary life is the flesh and blood that once lived like us? What traces did this political conspiracy leave in history? Where is the fate of the dynasty?

Bob buhrer, who plays the dual role of historian and detective, inadvertently becomes the messenger of history. Scattered cultural relics, archives, tombs and ancient mummies, under his careful integration, tell a true and extremely complicated story, which makes people really smell the bloody battle of the royal power at that time.

The era of Tutankhamun in Egypt 3000 years ago was an extremely turbulent era in the history of ancient Egypt. The country is divided, the inherent social order is further undermined by religious and political turmoil, and North Korea's greedy careerists collude with each other. At the same time, the young king and his beloved wife could not get the heir to the throne. All these unstable factors make Egypt like a powder keg, which is explosive. The devil finally raised his arms to the young king Tutankhamun-the country changed hands. Buhrer also listed three people who are most likely to be murderers.

Suspect 1: Army Commander Holland Herb.

Holland Herb often taught Tutankhamun to hunt and drive chariots, which provided ample opportunities for planning accidents. If Tutankhamun really died on the road, the body might have rotted before Holland Herb brought it back. This may explain why the mummy was poured with a lot of extra antiseptic spices. Holland Herb's most likely motive is to usurp the throne himself, which is not difficult for him who holds the relieving power.

Suspect 2: His wife, Anxana Menmen.

Her motive may be to usurp the throne or hope to have an heir. Two fetal mummies were also found in Tutankhamun's grave. It is inferred that both stillbirths are the daughters of Tutankhamun couple, and the causes of death are premature or stillbirth. If Tutankhamun can't have healthy offspring, Anxana may want him to leave and marry someone who can let her have healthy children.

Suspect 3: Prime Minister Ai

When Tutankhamun's father was in power, Ai was the prime minister. Later, he assisted Tutankhamun, who was 9 years old, to ascend to the throne. In fact, he has been in charge of state power and won the trust of Tutankhamun. Ai's motive may be coveting the throne of Pharaoh, but he did become the next Pharaoh after Tutankhamun's death. On the mural of Tutankhamun's tomb, Ai presided over Tutankhamun's funeral ceremony. The person who had the right to preside over the ceremony at that time was the person who confirmed the right of inheritance.

CT scan showed that Tutankhamun was not fatally injured.

However, well-known scholars who study the history of ancient Egypt call this conclusion nonsense. A scholar specializing in Tutankhamun at the Brandenburg Institute of Scientific Anthropology in Berlin said: "Everyone likes to speculate, but so far there is no evidence to prove these speculations." In order to solve an unsolved mystery that has lasted for many years, the Egyptian Ministry of Archaeology and the American research team

At the beginning of this year, a vehicle equipped with special equipment was used to remove the Pharaoh's mummy from the tomb from the Valley of the Kings, hoping to use high-tech equipment to take stereo photography of his skull and ribs to determine the cause of death.

On March 8, the research team announced the scanning results: the Egyptian Pharaoh 18 years old 3300 years ago did not die of murder. In a short CT scan of 15 minutes, the researchers took nearly 1700 photos of different parts of the mummy. Research shows that Tutankhamun is slim and healthy, and has no malnutrition or infectious diseases, but he has a slight cleft lip.

The CT film also showed that the young Pharaoh had a tiny cleft palate, unlike a decorative beard or other facial decorations. His front teeth are very big, and like other pharaohs in his family, his teeth have the characteristics of overbite. Hawass said that Tutankhamun's body is well preserved, and the outline of King Tutankhamun's face can be clearly seen, even his toes and fingers are well preserved.

Hawass, the most famous Egyptian archaeologist who discovered the "hiding place" of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, said that the research team investigated various claims about Tutankhamun's murder, but found no evidence that he was hit hard on the back of the head, and there was no other indication that he was involved in the murder.

They also found that accidental chest injuries were extremely unlikely. Hawass said that some members of the research team believed that Tutankhamun had fractures and cracks in his left thigh, indicating that he might have been seriously injured before his death. Although the crack itself does not pose a threat to life, it may be infected by bacteria. Although this kind of crack may also be caused by anti-corrosion treatment, they think it is unlikely. The results show that Tutankhamun was not persecuted by conspiracy before his death. After the mystery is solved, the mummy who has been concerned will be sent back to his grave and live a peaceful "life" from then on.
