TEXT 1 Tut Mystery Finally Solved? by Ann Ching
February 16, 2010
1 Ever since scientists discovered a bone fragment in King Tutâs
skull, there has been speculation that the boy king was
murdered. But other, more reliable evidence suggests that he was
simply a frail young man who had a severe form of malaria, and
suffered a leg fracture, all of which likely combined to cause
his death.
2 First of all, Tut most likely had genetic disorders. Researchers
have examined the DNA of Tut and several other famous
Egyptian mummies. The tests show that Tutâs father was the
controversial pharaoh Akhenaten. They also confirmed that
Akhenaten married his sister, a practice common in the royal
family because they believed it preserved their divine status.
This pairing was the likely cause of Tutâs genetic issues.
3 There is also evidence that Tut suffered from a disorder that
weakened areas of the bone. Detailed CT scans of Tutâs mummy
revealed that he had a cleft palate. The scans also revealed an
abnormally curved spine and a toe malformation that would
have caused pain and swelling. This sheds new light on the
100 or so canes found in Tutâs tombâhe probably needed them
to walk.
4 DNA tests on the mummy have also shown that disease may
have been a third factor contributing to Tutâs demise. The tests
revealed signs of a parasite that causes a severe form of malaria.
This indicates that Tut suffered from this terrible disease.
5 Put together, the evidence paints a clear picture of a young
man weakened by genetic disorders and disease. So, despite the
more intriguing idea that Tut was murdered, itâs much more
likely that he was just a very sick boy who died of natural
causes. Science and technology will confirm this sad tale and
finally solve this fascinating mystery

A Case for Ancient Murder by Juan Moya
October 7, 2002
1 Since the 1922 discovery of the tomb of the pharaoh
Tutankhamen, better known as King Tut, people have been
fascinated by the young ruler, who was just 19 when he died. His
tomb and some of its contents suggest that his death was sudden
and unexpected. But was it illness, accident . . . or murder? If we
look at the evidence, it becomes fairly obvious that the boy king
met with foul play.
2 Tutâs mummy was damaged during its removal from the coffin
and casings, and the first expert to examine it in 1925 found no
obvious cause of death. However, when the body was X-rayed in
1968, a key piece of evidence was discovered: a piece of bone
floating inside Tutâs skull. Experts believed it could be evidence
of a fatal blow to the back of the young pharaohâs head.
3 There were certainly people close to Tut who would have
benefited from having the king out of the way. Greg Cooper, a
former FBI profiler and police chief, and Mike King, head of a
police crime-analysis unit, have focused on a few key suspects:
Tutâs chief treasurer, his military commander, his wife, and his
prime minister.
4 Through the use of forensic science, and by studying historical
records and evidence from the tomb, Cooper and King were able
to rule out all suspects except Tutâs prime minister, Ay. Cooper
and King concluded that Ay had the most to gain from
Tutankhamenâs death since Ay went on to rule as pharaoh.
5 Whether or not it was Ay who killed Tut is still being debated,
but we can be fairly certain that the young pharaoh was indeed
murdered. Further investigations and technological advances
will soon prove that the young pharaoh did not succumb to a
tragic illness or an unfortunate accident. And even after over
3,000 years, the truth deserves to be known
