Great Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt | Tutankhamen: A Murder Theory (Lecture 6)

Lecture 6: In this lecture, I present my own theory suggesting that Tutankhamen was murdered. We see how such a hypothesis from an archaeologist is put together from diverse sources and extensive research. We then return to the story of Carter’s excavation of the tomb and the treasures it contained, including three nested gold shrines and three nested sarcophagi. Next, we turn to Tutankhamen’s mummy and discuss what has been learned about the pharaoh from two autopsies, before delving into the genealogy of the boy-king and the circumstances surrounding his death that suggest murder. Finally, we learn who the best candidate for the murderer is.
