The back of Tutankhamun's mummy mask is engraved with the spell of the Book of the Dead, helping him to enter the next world. It has been almost a century since Tutankhamun's tomb was found, and archaeologists are once again flocking to the catacombs where the king slept for at least a year. In February 2015, scans of the tomb were analyzed and it was discovered that there may be a hidden room behind the wall. Maybe there is also the tomb of Queen Nefertiti, where two of Ancient Egypt's most famous rulers will be buried in one? The answer seems to be hidden in Tutankhamun's story of life and death. Tutankhamun ascended to the throne at the end of the 18th dynasty, and the Egyptians were very wealthy, he was only 8 years old. Egypt acquired the legendary golden mountains of Nubia in the south and the Mediterranean coast in the north. Perhaps Tutankhamun's father or half-brother's radical Reformation and the move of the capital to Actoarteng (now Amaruna) plunged the country into chaos.
One theory is that shortly after Aquinateng died, another pharaoh ascended the throne, but Tutankhamun soon ascended the throne. In order to rebuild the country, his aides seemed to give good advice to the young king and worked hard. Tutankhamun's first job was to bring the capital back to Tebe (near present-day Luxor) along the Nile. During his ten-year reign, he became a symbol of the reconstruction and return of Maato (Right Order). However, he died in his teens. The cause of death is unknown. He may have broken his leg in an accident and then contracted. This may be the culprit of malaria. Members of the royal family at the time repeatedly engaged in consanguineous marriages, so there may have been fatal genetic problems. Tutankhamun died without a son or successor, and Egypt was once again in chaos. This chaos would last about 20 years until the establishment of the 19th Dynasty. Forgotten and found, Tutankhamun's remains were buried along with many side funerary objects in the "Royal Valley", a group of graves for the rulers of the 18th and 19th dynasties and their relatives. The years passed and whenever new tombs were built on the limestone cliffs of the "Royal Valley", there was rubble everywhere. Soon stone chips also covered the entrance to Tutankhamun's tomb, the boy king was forgotten and there was nothing to indicate the location of the tomb. More than three thousand years later, wealthy Europeans began excavating the tombs of kings in the ancient Egyptian capital in search of exquisite treasures to decorate their homes and museums. Lord Carnabon of England has sponsored the excavation of Howard Carter since 1907. Although they found small finds such as tombs of nobles and stolen royal tombs, in the winter of 1921-22 they were not as large as expected. Lord Karnabon tried to stop his aid, but Carter asked him to dig another season. In November 1922, Carter's hired husband began digging into the once-neglected triangle of the "Royal Valley" and found a stone staircase descending into the ground in a matter of days. This is the staircase leading to Tutankhamun's catacombs. At the end of the month, a door sealed with plaster was found in front of the stone steps. Tutankhamun's Katush (seal of the king) was pushed into the plaster. Carter made a small hole in the plaster and held up a candle to look inside. What he saw at the time made headlines in newspapers around the world. "At first I couldn't see anything," he later wrote. "Because the hot air leaking from the room made the candle flame flicker, but after a while, my eyes got used to it, and I gradually saw the details of the room. Strange animals, statues, gold. Everywhere I go, gold sparkles. 19 treasures of Tutankhamun
It took Carter a decade to put all of Tutankhamun's treasures on the list. From pure gold coffins and masks to beds, thrones, two-wheeled tanks, bows, food, wine, sandals, and new linen underwear, the boy king has 5398 items you might need in an afterlife.
Tutankhamun's tomb is known as KV62, but many experts today believe KV62 may have been built for another person. No one would have thought that a teenage king would die suddenly, because there is no complete tomb where a king can be buried right away.
What if another person is already buried in KV62, and Tutankhamun is buried in several small rooms near the entrance?
Tutankhamun's tomb was stolen at least twice in ancient times, but remains the greatest tomb ever found in Egypt. Even the tomb of the young king who ascended to the throne in a relatively short time is so gorgeous. It is believed that the previously buried people slept in a large room opposite Tutankhamun's small room. If it's a beautiful queen Nefertiti or a royal of equal status, then this room should be filled with untapped treasures.
The unexpected death of the Young King changed history.
Tutankhamun's reign may have had no major wars or political successes, but his presence was no small matter among successive kings. He died without a successor, which greatly changed the later history of Egypt.
He and his wife, Axennamen, had no children. Both daughters were born prematurely and appear to be stillborn. The little remains of the daughter were mummified according to the custom and slept with her father on KV62. Ai, who ascended to the throne after Tutankhamun, was an ancient courtier of the royal family, and due to his advanced age, he only had four years to reign. He also did not leave his successor. Next to ascend the throne was General Jorgheb. Oddly enough, he had no children.
To unite the Egyptian state strongly and perpetuate the royal bloodline, we needed a strong, healthy, king with plenty of children. What can I do?
Hormheb took over for his belly. This is Ramses I, who became the first king of the 19th dynasty. From here, a new chapter in history leads to the Bible and grandson Ramses II. Ramses II reigned for 67 years, he gave birth to more than 100 children, and many battles made Egypt even more glorious.
Come to think of it, Tutankhamun's premature death could have been a happy ending. However, we cannot help but wonder how the history of the world would have changed if there had been a boy between Tutankhamun and the Anksena Gate.
