M3:Meeting Tutankhamun;Part 1/2 The History of Tutankhamun

             I have finally landed on my destination. I am still in ancient Egypt. The year is 1334 B.C.E. This is the year that the pharaoh named Tutankhamun reigned as a pharaoh. He reigned from the age of 9, to the age of 19. He is the twelfth pharaoh of the eighteenth dynasty of Egypt. He reigned from 1332 B.C.E-1323 B.C.E. He is now known as King Tut. Since he was young and had a lot of duties to fulfill, he had a server named Aye and the servers helper named general Horemhab.
             He married his half sister. Her name was Ankhesenpaaten, the daughter of Akhenaten. He too was a child of  Ankhenaten. He is known for his mummy and his tomb. He had two premature babies with her. Both of them were females. The mummies of his two daughters were both found in his tomb.
                 No one knew the cause of his death. Little believe that he was murdered by Aye and general Horemhab.  A lot of people believe he died because of his heath. They thought he had an infected broken leg that was not treated well. When scientists inspected his body, they found malaria where his leg was at. They said he was a young man who needed a cane to walk.

  1. I like all your facts about King Tut esp. the possibilities of the ways Tut died. I also like how you split the mission into 2 parts.
