New evidence explains who really murdered King Tut. Malaria!
The young ruler was thought to have been murdered by his wife or driver with a blow to the back of the head, yet Egyptian scientists have recently proven that malaria is the cause for King Tut’s rut. A bone disorder plus a broken leg also contributed to his final fall.
According to Wikipedia, Tut was nine years old when he became pharaoh and reigned for approximately ten years when he died at the age of 19. In historical terms, Tut’s significance stems from his rejection of the radical religious innovations. Secondly, his tomb is the most complete ancient Egyptian royal tomb ever found.
