New scientific evidence of his death.

Tutankhamen - his real death.

by Aussie

Tutankhamen stood upon his chariot of gold
Eager for battle, young and bold
Golden Cobra upon his brow.
His muscled arms drew his bow.

Hittite army moved in ranks
Egyptian soldiers covered their flanks
Racing across the desert lands
Tutankhamen; Pharaoh, god-like hands.

He whipped his horses like birds flown
Tutankhamen's chariot hit a stone
He was thrown from his place
Broken leg, agony on his face.

Sitting up, looking around
No help on battle ground
He looked at the enemy proud
Hittite warrior screaming loud.

He laid back down, losing his crown
Enemy chariot ran him down
Cracking of ribs, piercing of heart
Tutankhamen's life torn apart.

The boy-king dead at nineteen
His reign cut short; life not seen
They wrapped his body in linen fine
Golden Mask for all time.

Mystery has always surrounded the death of the young boy-king, Tutankhamen. New scientific evidence has proven that he fell from his chariot, breaking his leg. He sat up and was run over on the left side of his body. His ribs were crushed and his heart pierced. He was buried in a burial chamber not meant for a King. The tomb was robbed, the robbers disturbed. The Golden Mask was examined and it showed rivets to make it fit. The conclusion; the mask was made for a female. The Vizer of Egypt, Iy, was said to have taken the real tomb for himself, he also took the throne after the boy's death and married Tutankhamen's wife. Iy was an old man and only ruled for four years. I bet Tutankhamen's young wife was pleased. Enjoy!
