First, we must review the writings of the West that were extracted from ancient Egyptian inscriptions about this Egyptian king
————–
Tutankhamun was one of the kings of Misr from 1334 to 1325 BC. In the era of the New Kingdom.
Tutankhamun is considered one of the most famous pharaohs for reasons that are not related to the achievements he achieved or the wars he won, as is the case with many pharaohs. But for other reasons that are important from a historical perspective, the most prominent of which are:
1- His tomb and treasures were completely discovered without any damage.
2- The mystery surrounding the circumstances of his death, as many considered the death of Pharaoh at a very young age to be unnatural, especially with traces of fractures in the thigh bones and skull, and the marriage of his minister to his widow after his death and the appointment of himself as Pharaoh.
All these mysterious events, and the extensive use of the legend of the curse of the pharaohs associated with Tutankhamun’s tomb, which was used in films and video games, made Tutankhamun the most famous pharaoh for mysteries and unanswerable questions that some considered one of the oldest assassinations in the history of humanity.
Tutankhamun was 9 years old when he became Pharaoh of Misr, and his name in ancient Egyptian means “the living image of the Allah Amun,” the chief of the ancient Egyptian gods. Tutankhamun lived in a transitional period in the history of ancient Misr, as he came after Akhenaten, who tried to unify the gods of ancient Misr in the form of one single Allah.
During his reign, there was a return to the worship of the many gods of ancient Misr. His tomb was discovered in 1922 in the Valley of the Kings by British archaeologist Howard Carter. This discovery caused a widespread media sensation around the world.
—– His life ——–
Tutankhamun’s names in hieroglyphics:
– “Tutankhamen Haqa Eunu Shama” which means: “The living manifestation of Amun, the ruler of southern Aun.”
– Royal name: “Neb-Khebru-Ra”, which means: “Allah of the Hypostases of Ra”
Tutankhamun, son of King Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV) and Queen Nefertiti. After the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities announced in April 2010 that, based on DNA tests, it was found that Tutankhamun was the son of King Akhenaten.
Tutankhamun became king of Misr as a child after the death of his brother Smenkhkare, and he married the sister he loved (Ankhesenamun).
Tutankhamun died in mysterious and unknown circumstances, and his former minister, Ay, who married Tutankhamun’s widow, Ankhesenamun, ruled after him.
—– His reign ——-
During the rule of Tutankhamun, a revolution began from Tell el-Amarna against the movement of the former pharaoh Akhenaten, who moved the capital from Thebes to his new capital, Akhet Aten, in Minya, and tried to unify the multiple gods of ancient Misr, including the Allah Amun, in the form of one Allah, Aten. In the year 1331 BC, that is, in the third year of the rule of Tutankhamun, who was 11 years old, and under the influence of the minister, that is, the ban imposed on the worship of the gods was lifted.
—— Causes of his death ——-
There is a widespread belief that the death of Tutankhamun was not due to medical causes, but rather it may have been the result of an assassination operation that was arranged by Minister Heperkhamun Ra Ai, and there is many evidence provided by believers in this theory, including, for example, the marriage of Minister Heber Khabar Amun to Tutankhamun’s widow, where he was found. On a Pharaonic seal bearing the name of Ay and Ankhson Amun, the widow of Tutankhamun. There is also a letter sent by Ankhesen Amun, the widow of Tutankhamun, to the Hittite king asking him to send one of his sons for the purpose of marrying her after the death of her husband. The Hittite king sent one of his sons to marry Tutankhamun’s widow. Amun, but he died before he entered the land of Misr, and there is a belief that he was assassinated, most likely by the arrangement of the minister Kheperheru Ra Ay, who apparently was planning to seize the throne of Misr, so he killed King Tutankhamun and killed the son of the Hittite king, but these are hypotheses and there is no conclusive evidence to prove all these theories. .
It is worth noting that historical evidence indicates that there were two ministers for Tutankhamun, one of whom was Ay, who was mentioned, and the other was named Horemheb. There is archaeological evidence that confirms that after the death of Tutankhamun, the minister Ay took over the reins of power for a short period, to be replaced by the second minister, Horemheb, during whose reign most of Evidence of the period of the rule of Tutankhamun and Minister Ay, and this confirms to some the conspiracy theory that Tutankhamun’s death was due to malaria, which was widespread in the south.
For a long time, the cause of Tutankhamun’s death was a controversial issue, and there were many conspiracy theories that suggested that he did not die, but was killed in an assassination.
On March 8, 2005, as a result of the use of three-dimensional CT scans on Tutankhamun’s mummy, Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass stated that there is no evidence that Tutankhamun had been subjected to an assassination, adding that the hole in his skull was not due to a cause. He received a blow to the head, as was previously believed, but this hole was made after death for the purpose of mummification. Zahi Hawass explained the fracture in the left femur, which has long been linked to the assassination theory, as the result of a fracture in the femur that Tutankhamun suffered before his death, and perhaps the infection resulting from This fracture may have caused his death.
Modern analyzes also showed that the roof bone of Tutankhamun’s oral cavity was incomplete. Tutankhamun’s stature was 170 cm and the transverse length of his skull was greater than the normal length, which led some to suggest Marfan’s syndrome as a cause of early death. This condition is hereditary and transmitted through… Autosomal dominant genes.
The final report of the team of Egyptian archaeologists was that the cause of death was blood poisoning as a result of the fracture in the thigh bone that Tutankhamun suffered, which led to gangrene, which is the death of cells and tissues and their decomposition as a result of the secretion of enzymes from dead muscles due to the lack of oxygen reaching them through the blood. .
Before this report, there were attempts to determine the cause of death using The brain, which led to the spread of the hypothesis that he had received a blow to the head that led to a brain hemorrhage and then death.
A study published in March 2010 showed that the cause of Tutankhamun’s death was that he contracted malaria and complications from a broken leg. The study also indicated the presence of some hereditary diseases resulting from a genetic defect inherited in the family.
—– Discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb —–
The so-called Valley of the Kings, located on the western bank of the Nile River near Thebes, was for 450 years during the New Kingdom era in the history of the ancient Egyptians, which extended from 1539 to 1075 BC, as a cemetery for the pharaohs of that period, as there is in this rocky valley, which has an area of approximately 20,000 square meters. 27 royal tombs belonging to three families, namely the Eighteenth Dynasty, the Nineteenth Dynasty, and the Twentieth Egyptian Dynasty, have been discovered to this day.
It is believed that the valley contains at least 30 other graves that have not been discovered yet. The tombs discovered in the Valley of the Kings so far, according to the chronological order of the rule of the Pharaohs, go back to Thutmose I, Amenhotep II, Tutankhamun, and Horemheb, who are from the Eighteenth Dynasty of Misr, Ramses I, Seti I, Ramses II, Amenemses, Seti II, and Siptah, who are from the Nineteenth Dynasty of Misr, Setnakhte, Ramesses III, and Ramesses IV. Ramesses V and Ramesses IX, members of the Twentieth Dynasty of Misr. There are other graves of unknown pharaohs, and attempts are still underway to identify them.
The construction of the pharaoh’s tomb usually began days after he was installed as pharaoh over Misr. Construction usually took dozens of years, and workers used simple tools such as an ax to dig long grooves and form small rooms in the valley. Over time, there were tombs built on top of other tombs, and the opening of new tunnels and grooves led to Mostly due to the blockage of the corridors leading to the tomb of the oldest pharaoh, this lack of organized planning was the main reason that led to the survival of these treasures and not being stolen for thousands of years.
The main shrine of Tutankhamun’s tomb
On November 4, 1922, when the British archaeologist and specialist in the history of ancient Misr, Howard Carter, was excavating at the entrance of the tunnel leading to the tomb of Ramses VI in the Valley of the Kings, he noticed the presence of a large basement and continued careful exploration until he entered the room that contained the tomb of Tutankhamun, and it was on the walls of the room. The shrine contains wonderful drawings that tell in the form of pictures the story of Tutankhamun’s departure to the world of the dead. The scene was extremely wonderful for the scientist Howard Carter, who was looking into the room through an opening with a candle in his hand. It is said that his assistant asked him, “Can you see anything?” Carter replied, “Yes, I see wonderful things.”
On February 16, 1923, Howard Carter (1874 – 1939) was the first person in more than 3,000 years to set foot on the floor of the room containing Tutankhamun’s coffin. Carter noticed that there was a wooden box with engravings inlaid with gold in the middle of the room. When he lifted the box, he noticed that the box was covering a second box decorated with engravings inlaid with gold. When he lifted the second box, he noticed that the second box was covering a third box inlaid with gold. When he lifted the third box, Carter reached the sarcophagus. Which was covered with a thick layer of stone carved in the form of a statue of Tutankhamun. When he lifted this stone cover, Carter reached the main golden coffin, which was in the form of a statue of Tutankhamun. This golden coffin covered two other golden coffins in the form of statues of the young pharaoh. Howard had difficulty lifting the third golden shroud that was covering the mummy of Tutankhamun from the mummy, so Carter thought that exposing the shroud to the heat of the scorching Egyptian summer sun would be enough to separate the golden shroud from the mummy, but his attempts failed and he was finally forced to cut the golden shroud into two halves to reach the mummy. Which was wrapped in layers of silk, and after removing the shroud made of cloth, the mummy of Tutankhamun was found with all his adornments, including necklaces, rings, the crown, and staffs, all of which were made of pure gold. To remove these artifacts, the excavation team had to separate the skull and the main bones from their joints, and after removing the jewelry, the team reassembled the structure. They took the mummy’s bones and put them in a wooden coffin.
Mummy show
From the belongings of Tutankhamun’s tomb
In February 2010, the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism decided to allow the mummy of the young Pharaonic king Tutankhamun to be displayed to the public for the first time since its discovery with its golden shrine in the city of Luxor 85 years ago[3].
Director of the Egyptian Antiquities Authority, Zahi Hawass, said that Egyptian scientists began more than two years ago to restore the mummy of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, which was severely damaged after it was briefly removed from its sarcophagus when it was subjected to a CT scan. He added that the largest part of the mummy’s body was broken up into 18 pieces that looked like stones that were broken into pieces when the British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered it for the first time and took it out of its tomb and tried to remove the golden mask that was covering the face of King Tutankhamun. He pointed out that the mystery surrounding Tutankhamun and his tomb Al-Dhahabi has aroused the curiosity and enthusiasm of fans of ancient Egyptian studies since Carter revealed the location of the mummy on November 4, 1922, and the treasures of gold and precious stones it concealed.
Scientists had taken Tutankhamun’s mummy out of its tomb and placed it on an advanced computed tomography table for a quarter of an hour in 2005 in order to obtain a three-dimensional image of a mummy more than 3,000 years old. The results of the medical examination ruled out that the young pharaoh had died by murder, but they were unable to precisely determine the manner of his death, which occurred in the year 1323 BC. The pictures revealed that King Tutankhamun suffered a fracture in his left thigh, most likely due to an accident, which later led to him suffering from a fatal disease that could not be determined. The photos also provided an unprecedented revelation about the life of the young pharaoh, who was considered one of the most famous kings of ancient Misr, including that he was healthy due to his good nutrition, despite his relatively thin build, whose height did not exceed 170 centimeters when he died. There are strange things that happen to everyone who enters it. For example, the first scientist who discovered it died of poisoning. Some believe that this is due to the food, and others believe that this is due to the curse of the Pharaohs.
Attempts to figure out the mystery of his death
On February 17, 2010, Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities at that time, announced in a press conference in the garden of the Egyptian Museum a group of scientific discoveries that solve many of the mysteries of the end of the Eighteenth Dynasty, including the mystery of Tutankhamun’s death. Analysis of the DNA of King Tut’s mummy revealed The results indicated that the cause of death was due to the malaria parasite, and it was likely that complications resulting from the severe disease led to his death. DNA analysis and a CT scan of Tutankhamun’s mummy revealed that King Akhenaten was King Tut’s father. The results also revealed that genetic and hereditary diseases played a role in the death of Tutankhamun, as he was suffering from a genetic defect inherited in the family, and there were weaknesses and diseases in these mummies, as well as problems related to the heart and blood vessels. When researchers conducted a survey of Tutankhamun’s mummy, they found that he suffered from many diseases, such as a kyphosis in his spine, in addition to a deformity of his big toe, which led to atrophy in his left foot.
Hawass said that the ancient drawings depicted Tutankhamun shooting arrows while sitting in the horse-drawn chariot, and not while standing, which is unusual. In his grave, we found 100 walking sticks, and at first we thought they represented authority and power, but “It turned out to be old crutches he was using, as he could barely walk.”
Hawass also explained that the computer scan of the mummy in 2005 was aimed at verifying that he had been killed, given that previous X-ray images revealed a hole in his skull, adding that it turned out that this hole was made during the mummification process, but a fracture was discovered in Left leg bone, which may have played a role in the death of the young pharaoh.
The importance of Tutankhamun’s treasures
The importance of King Tutankhamun’s collection is due to many reasons: The first is that King Tutankhamun’s treasure is the most complete and unparalleled royal treasure ever found, as it consists of three hundred and fifty-eight pieces, including the magnificent golden mask and three coffins in the shape of a human, one of which is made of pure gold and the other two are made of gilded wood. Second: This baggage dates back to the Eighteenth Dynasty, the most famous and prosperous era of the New Kingdom, when the country opened up to the regions of the ancient Near East thanks to military campaigns and trade relations, including export and import of resources and manufactured products, and the activity of craftsmen and artists. Finally; This enormous collection remained in Misr, and shows how the royal tomb was prepared and prepared. There are daily life items such as dolls and toys, then a group of complete furniture, tools and military equipment, statues of deities related to the king’s burial and the rituals performed for him, and the famous trumpet of Tutankhamun made of Silver and another of copper, and all of these contents are now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Fourth: From this enormous treasure or collection, we learn a lot about the king’s life, his love for hunting, and his relationship with his wife, “Ankhesenamun,” who is believed to be his relative, in addition to knowing his most important works and his entourage, and finally the only throne chair that has reached us from the civilization of the ancient Egyptians.

I finish
This is roughly the general framework of the story of this king according to the writings of the West, and it was not written by any Egyptian person, it is all written by the West.
But the truth is that there is a question that imposes itself: It is logical that the story of the assassination of John Kennedy is a mystery, but it is illogical to exhume the body of an unknown person and then say that his killing is a mystery. How can this king’s affairs be a mystery, when we do not even know him before so that his affairs are a mystery? There are hundreds of mummies in Misr, so why was this king and not others ordered to be assassinated?
He follows …..
