Was Young King Tut Killed

Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

When King Tut's mummified corpse was x-rayed, there was a strange black section on the base of his skull that the doctor said could indicate a blow to the head that would have killed him. Its location suggested a deliberate blow than an injury from a fall. Bob Brier has written about this case for years and produced a documentary wherein he suggested the theory that perhaps king Tutankhamen had been murdered with subsequent murder of his young wife. This essay discusses Brier's discussions about the pharaoh's life, his wife, another victim, and a potential perpetrator. There is one source in this four page paper.
