Description
This volume is a presentation of the author's hypothesis that the Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, Tutankhamen (1332 BC-1323 BC) was murdered. Popularly known as "King Tut", there are no surviving records of Tutankhamen's final days. What caused Tutankhamen's death has been the subject of considerable debate. The author uses physical evidence, allegedly a swelling on the base of the mummy's skull, to spin a tale of palace intrigue and political assassination. He paints a picture of Egypt as a nation torn apart by revolution. Egyptian society was wracked by religious and political turmoil, as ambitious ministers with thwarted desires plotted secretly. Meanwhile the young king and his adored wife could not produce an heir. All this instability produced the combustible situation that the author believes, ultimately led to Tutankhamen's murder.
Description
The author, a specialist in the diseases of ancient man, presents the case for the murder of the young king who ruled during "an extraordinarily turbulent time in ancient Egypt" and who could not produce an heir.--Jacket.
