As Tutankhamun began his reign at age 9 and is the youngest king in the history of ancient egypt egypt, great responsibility for his administration must also be assigned to his successor in the end, Ay. Nonetheless, Tutankhamun, the most famous of the Egyptian Pharaoh who mastered previously, and the only one to have as a nickname in popular culture ("King Tut").
The discovery of his tomb in 1922 by Howard Carter received worldwide press coverage and sparked a new public interest in Ancient Egypt
Tutankhamun was married to Ankhesenpaaten, daughter of Akhenaten is his own sister. Ankhesenpaaten also changed his name from the suffix 'ATEN' to end 'Amun', to be Ankhesenamun.
Within 3 years of the reign of Tutankhamun (1331 BC), when he was a boy about 11 and possibly under the influence of two advisors older (especially the vizier of Akhenaten's Ay), the ban on the ranks of the old gods and their temples were raised, privilege the traditional restored to their priesthood, and the kingdom moved the capital back to Thebes.
Young pharaoh also adopted the name Tutankhamun, changing it from his birth Tutankhaten. Because of his age who are still children when the decision was made, it is generally thought that most if not all the responsibility for them falls on his vizier Ay and perhaps other advisors.
Tutankhamun died at age 19 by a head injury. Many suspect that he was murdered. He was buried in the Valley of the Kings. Two mummified fetuses found in a coffin that has been sealed by its name. This is believed to have the children who were born prematurely.
Cause of Death of Pharaoh Tutankhamun
For two years, a number of scientists in investigating the mummies of Egyptian kings 19-year-old was to examine the blood and DNA. They found malaria parasites in their blood, as published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Since the tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered by Howard Carter in the Valley of Kings in 1922, scientists uncover the various speculations about the cause of death. Some scientists believe the king who were aged 19 years was killed by a fall from his chariot and some have argued that he was actually murdered.
"Another important cause of death was acute malaria were found based on DNA testing," said Dr. Zahi Hawass. But others say Tutankhamun's a very rare disease that attacked his family because he died at a very young age and leaves no heirs.
Malaria and disease in the legs
Now some speculation that seems to be ending after the Egyptian archaeological team led by Dr. Zahi Hawass investigate 10 mummies mummy of Tutankhamun and other royal members for two years.
Two of the mummies are studied by using genetic fingerprint is thought to be the grandmother and father. The investigation confirmed the King Tutankhamun likely to suffer from a hereditary disease that attacks the leg bone disease called Kohler II.
But the researchers also found traces of malaria parasites in their blood so that malaria concludes with a wound in his leg did not heal it has caused his death.
"Another important thing that caused his death was an acute malaria were found based on DNA testing. And in 2005 I discovered that she had wounds in his left leg and the wound was caused by an accident that occurred several hours before he died." said Dr. Zahi Hawass
"So King Tut died of acute malaria. We are now for the first time able to say that we have revealed the mystery of the golden boy of the family, King Tut."
History The discovery of the Tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun
Howard Carter (1874 - 1939), is an archaeologist from London, England, who appreciate the culture of ancient Egypt. Nothing is so consistent arkelog of Egypt except him. Because it was Howard Carter became the only expert culture of Ancient Egypt's most expert. In the course of his career and his life, Howard Carter explore the art of drawing and archeology. All the things he was doing since the age of 17 years has been "smelling" of Egypt. Then at age 25 years he has been entrusted to work on Egyptian territory to carry out the excavation and restoration sites, including maintenance of Ancient Egyptian artifacts.
Until finally he was obsessed with finding one of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh's tomb from the 18th dynasty, known as Tutankhamun. This obsession turns to "hunt" the hardest and longest for life
Search for the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun's point is concentrated around the Valley of the Kings in the West Bank, near Luxor. Over the years, excavations and research done, but never sought the tomb was found.
During the excavations he found only sand desert and if there is a little lucky to find such urns that led to the reign of Tutankhamen.
The first ten years of excavations, recent advances that are found only pieces of clothing and chunks of rock bearing the name of Tutankhamun and the trail that leads to the reign of the pharaoh's 18-year-old.
The entire expedition team was getting frustrated while the cost has been a lot of financial and inventory is very thin. But amid the frustration his colleagues, Howard Carter remains optimistic that his estimates were correct that the Pharaoh Tutankhamun must have been buried in the valley. He believes that the tomb of the ruler of Thebes that unites ancient Egypt was exactly in the valley they were dug.
For the continuation of the expedition, he went to "sponsor" Lord Carnarvon. Nobles of ancient and antique items like this ultimatum Howard Carter that he could no longer support the expedition. However, Carter H Carnarvon assured that he only needed one more chance. In early November 1922, H Carter began digging last. Excavations carried out at one point that had never been touched before. At this location, he found a kind of complex where the slaves lived grave diggers and some other ancient artifacts.
When the excavation continues, a foreman named Ali reported the discovery of a stone staircase down around the complex. Excavation was continued for two days and it is clearly visible stone staircase leads to a closed door. Lord Carnarvon was ditelegram told that the door of the tomb of Tutankhamen was discovered. After Carnarvon arrived on the scene, two days later the stone door to the tomb was opened successfully. Inside there are ornate hall with a jumble of rocks on the walls of Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics to the next door.
Carter tried to open the door with a carved stone crevice. After shifting some rocks, he made a small hole. Through the gap he put out the candle to peer into the dark room behind the door. What he saw amazed him still for a moment. He has found the tomb which she had been looking for twenty years, the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun.
Howard Carter who discovered the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun's website has become big news in the history arkelog mengehbohkan period. This discovery has been named as the most remarkable archaeological discovery in the 20th century.
The findings of the tomb complex complete with artifacts and treasures that are still intact firauan, mummy, sites, and all that was in the tomb was still sealed and has never touched anyone since the funeral 3300 years ago.
When I first discovered the crypt spaces, H Carter saw that the room was covered with shiny yellow gold. In the room there are 4 holes each grave with a stone coffin in it.
The room was well organized with a few pots of flowers, jewel throne throne, royal clothes, some household tool sets, knives and guns, odd-shaped sculpture, and some treasure chests.
Inside there is a mummy coffin was sealed with Tutankhamun's name. The casket was made up of three layers. And the most recent layer is made of pure gold plate engraved.
Pharaoh's mummy was wrapped in white shroud-covered gems, the mask covered the face of the jeweled gold, and in the chest there were garlands which color is still "fresh".
The findings of this pharaoh's tomb is the most comprehensive in history. The only site (that time) that has not been looted and touchable man. Until finally expeditions H Carter and Carnarvon discovered and unseal the pharaoh was buried thousands of years.
Mysteries Curse of the Pharaoh King Tutankhamun
Tomb Thutankhemen / Thutankhamun well-known, first opened in 1922, journalists reported there is an inscription near the door of the tomb of King Tutankhemen this which reads thus:
"Death will soon come to those who touch the tomb of Pharaoh"
Keliatannya is ridiculous, but it seems the warning proved true, when all the archaeologists and the workers who touch the tomb Tutankhemen reportedly died under mysterious circumstances and mengerikandalam tempo is not too long after the demolition of the tomb took place.
King Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings Luxor, Egypt
There are four kings Amarna in the 18th Dynasty and the third Tutankhamun. Since the 19th Dynasty did not like the rules of the 18th Dynasty, the kings of the Amarna royal family dropped from the list and it's done in public. The monument was destroyed Tutankhemen king, and the location of his grave dilupakan.Dan is true, the existence of the tomb of the unfortunate young king is totally forgotten by the 20th Dynasty. When the chief architect start chiseling the stone to make the tomb of Ramses VI, he did not know that he has let the debris fall on the tomb of King Tutankhamun.
And since then, the young king's tomb is completely forgotten because he was also not a great ruler, not at all impressive. But this would bring benefits in 3300 years later, why? Because of his tomb and his treasures hidden remains untouched. And this makes the meal the young King Tutankhamun is the only tomb in the ancient Egyptian kings buried in the Valley of the Kings Luxor is not compromised for centuries by the robbers.
LEGEND CURSE
For centuries, resins and oils that are used to make a mummy has been turned into glue that holds linen. To remove the necklace, Carter radical action, ie by shredding mummy. This is very fatal. Within 14 days, 2 of those involved died suddenly. Even in 1929, 13 people died because of one reason .... Curse
Carvarnon Lord died on 6 April 1923 because of pneumonia, complications from an infected mosquito bites. Then the journalists found the inscription near the door of the tomb on the anniversary of the death earlier. They then say that the Pharaoh's Curse Tutankhemen who killed Lord Carvarnon. Following then, Lady Carnarvon, who followed her husband into the afterlife with no obvious cause of death.
In the same year, one died suddenly after visiting this cemetery and is considered an act of condemnation as well. He is Pecky Callender, who helped Carter entered the tomb. Also experienced by the mysterious death of a wealthy businessman who visited the tomb Tutankhemen, George Jay Gould. To tour this expensive, Gould must pay dearly. Night after visiting the tomb, he caught a cold, and the next day he died.
This young king treasure exhibited in many museums around the world. When Arthur C. Mace of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and George Benedite from the Louvre Museum, Paris, went along mysteriously died after exhibiting these treasures in their museum! Back, Curse Tutankhemen the blame for the death of two men . The curse is back in action and being questioned over the death of people who are very little involved with this expedition. For example a personal secretary named Howard Carter, Robert Bathnell bandwagon died under mysterious circumstances.
Three months later, Bathell father, Lord Westbury jumped from the 7th floor and died. He left a message, meyalahkan Tutankhemen curse for the death of his son. Not just ends there, as the journey to the grave, the corpse of Lord Westbury train crashed into a child of 8 years. The boy was killed instantly, as well as an employee of the British Museum in the field of Egyptology. For three decades the curse is not to attack until the last time Tutankhemen resting place disturbed. Until today, accounting for approximately 25 people who had died with disangkut pautkan with Tutankhamun's curse. The last time that happened to a tourist Sheryl Munson in 1995.
Many scientists began to examine the pharaohs curse from a scientific standpoint. James Randi, famous juggler, in his Encyclopedia of Claims, Fraunds and Hoaxes of the Occult and two sides, write down the names of all the Europeans who were present when the tomb of Tutankhamun was opened and when they hear the name died dunia.Pernah actuarial tables? . This table gives the value of our life expectancy, based on where we live on, whether smoking or not, etc.. Randi check the actuary tables that are relevant to all people associated with the tomb of King Tutankhemen, and who died the next.
Apparently, the people who attended the opening of the tomb, live one year longer than actuarial tables forecast. Howard Carter died at the age of fair, which is 66 years. Dr. Douglas Derry, who dissected the mummy, died at the age of 80 years. And Alfred Lucas, the chemist who analyzed the mummified body tissues, died at the age of 79 years.
Other studies have shown no significant effect on life expectancy of people involved in these excavations.
The victims may not recognizes that on the walls of tombs filled with beautiful ornaments were hidden thousands and even more deadly killer who had lived 3000 years old!
The walls were covered with small brown mushrooms. Bacteria may arise from the plaster or paint and plaster from moisture life after tomb ditutup.Dan, the killer is actually a deadly bacteria called aspergillus niger. In the tomb of the warm, bacteria that attacks the respiratory system is growing. He is the only creature that can survive for 3,000 years in tombs itu.Saat Shryl Munson, who took part last victim died after visiting the tomb arrived with the fragile endurance, it is the main home for the fungus. Spores were exploited and attacked the weak cell, destroy it while spreading. Sheryl Munson lack of oxygen, 10 days after hospital admission, lung function stops. The team of doctors managed to find aspergilllus niger fungus at the time of lung biopsy Sheryl Munson and deadly fungus is found more in the tomb of Tutankhamun, particularly in the wall makam.Sheryl had made a very fatal to his life at the time of visiting the tomb Tutankhemen . He touched the walls of the tomb and ran his fingers rubbed into some painting, where there have been waiting a very deadly bacteria to migrate into the body.
So also with the people involved in the demolition of the tomb. Working with mummy can be fatal, both for researchers and mummy. Howard Carter's reckless actions that cut mummified bodies have fatal consequences for those involved. Because the researchers could suck the spores from dust mumi.Sebaliknya, researchers could provide the bacteria or moisture on the surface of mummies that could lead to decay.
Although it has been dead for thousands of years, the mummies of bacteria living together. Some harmless, but some are very deadly. Not wear protective gear when working with the mummy, will be very vulnerable to infection by fungal spores. And that's what happened to Carter and the people around him. Hasty autopsy on Tutankhamun's mummy turns off many horrible invisible killer. Worse, when the autopsy was underway, Carter and his colleagues did not wear any protective, they just wear everyday clothes. So the damage may occur crosses between researchers and mummies. But many people are lucky like Carter who is not infected bacteria.
