It is believed he died of an infection in the leg. It got so bad, he collapsed and died. not so.

King Tut never reached manhood. We must look at his life to discover the truth about his death. Tutankamen was born with many, genetic deformities and diseases.

There were hundreds of walking sticks found in his tomb, some worn down from overuse during his few short years. This means that he had to use a cane to walk since learning as a baby, or a young boy. He had buck teeth a cleft pallet, he suffered from a blood disease, and he had Mar-fan's disease. He had curvature of the spine, (Scoliosis) which is usually accompanied by retardation. One leg was far shorter than the other, and he had a club foot. He was a genetically deformed individual.

King Tut was next in line to the throne. At that time Aye, the nickname of Aknaton, Tut's older Sibling, was filling in for Tut. As the time approached, the royal family knew they could never allow Tut to sit on the throne. The Pharaoh was half god half man, a perfect human specimen. Tut was a Cretan. The royal family would never allow the outside world to see the genetically deformed Tut.

From the tomb you can see his burial was very rushed, but he was buried deep in the earth, so that no one would dig him up and discover the genetically deformed 'Pharaoh' of Egypt. This is why the tomb was sealed with a curse. To scare people away, because the Son of Horus would not have been a severely deformed human being.

Aknaton now sat on the throne of Egypt, and declared that he was the perfect specimen and only son of Amen Ra. You can see why Aknaton did this. However his reign was short lived. Hatshepsut, murdered Aknaton and then fled Egypt with a very large entourage of people. But she avenged the death of Tut. She wore a veil and the fake beard of Pharaoh, and brought forth a set of laws to those who followed after her. She was disgraced in Egypt, and her name was stricken from every monument, obelisk and even her tomb. Her name was replaced with

Tutmose I, II or III. None of these pharaoh's existed. Hatshepsut destroyed the Pharaohic line in Egypt. She Parted that Red sea, and the bloodline of Pharaoh was destroyed. Today scholars are very surprised by the power and intelligence of this Queen who would be king. She destroyed the power of Egypt, by killing her first born, the Law of Egypt. Her new law was to set in motion a revolution that is still being fought to this day. The world does not remember Hatshepsut.

King Tut died around the ages of 18-20. We can never be sure as to how he died, but there are a lot of contributing factors that may have caused his death. Such as, he broke his leg at some point and got a nasty infection in it, and because of them not having the medicines we do today, they were not able to treat it properly. Also, recent tests have showed that he had malaria when he died, and that is also another contributing factor. It has been scientifically proven that King Tut was not murdered; the crack in his skull is completely normal and everybody has it until they have matured completely.

Unlike most people think King Tut was not killed by any person but by an illness that would be "an easy fix" with the medical knowledge of today:

TB
