From recent studies, there has been many medical examinations such as autopsies of the King Tut's body which was found in 1922.
It's very possible that one of the worlds mysteries might have been solved! Through comparison of a similar body with a case solved, they found that King Tut most likely died from a chariot race that didn't end very well! In this consistent parallel examination, both men ribs and pelvis were shattered and hearts were crushed.
This just goes to show how advancement of technology and time has improved observations to solve some of the worlds most well known mysteries
Byron Otis- Oh how wonderful! I know when I was a little child, whenever I read about King Tutankhamen, the book would be sure to mention his mysterious death, and I always found that annoying. So glad this childhood annoyance is finally cleared up.
ReplyDeleteI don't really know much about King Tut or the history behind it, but this sounds fascinating that years and years after we think we might have everything sorted out, it turns out that we don't. As science advances, we learn more and more and things we thought to be true are disproved.
