Who Murdered King Tut Tutankhamen. King Tut. The Boy King. Pharaoh. King of Upper and Lower Egypt. Regardless of how you choose to refer to the young man (I prefer King Tut), you will always strike interest in the minds of those you speak with. One thing is for certain. We don't know a whole lot about him. We know that Egypt began to fail around the time he was born. The Egyptians lost battles, lost land, and was in economic turmoil. His Father and Mother were both Dead before his tenth birthday, leaving him with the throne. King Tut's 'senior advisor', or Vizier, was a man named Aye, and because of the pharaoh's young age, Aye pretty much ran things after the royal palace was moved back to Themes following King Tut's father's reign. King Tut was married, but oddly enough, to his half-sister, Ankhesenamun. Ankhesenamun was always displayed in loving poses with King Tut. She was caressing him, serving him, and in one scene, even holding his next arrow during a hunt. It was quite apparent that Ankhesenamun and King Tut where quite a pair. However, one of the Greatest mysteries surrounding King Tut is that even though the Egyptians took great time in recognizing the Pharaohs of the time, by marking their Cartouche in shrines, when you look at the walls, after Tut's father, there is no KING TUT. Only in one great wall, in one great shrine, is there any reference of King Tut. Some places have a hollowed-out cartouche, as though it had been 'erased'. Please let me explain a cartouche. The Egyptians carved their names in oval shaped blocks, called a cartouche. On the next page is an example of a Cartouche. Please forgive the commercial nature of this example. But why would the name be erased? King T... ... middle of paper ... ...e was not recorded in history, it was as though you never existed. I am not asking anyone to take this theory as Gospel; but it all falls into place, and you can believe it if you like. This is strictly a hypothesis based on my research, and I believe it. You, too, can believe it; or you can continue to believe King Tutankhamen died of natural causes at the age of 20. That's FIFTEEN years prior to the average age of that day, however……………………………………………… Bibliography:  The Murder of Tutankhamen, Hardcover, © 1999 by Dr. Bob Brier, PhD.  http://www.osirisweb.com/egypt/tutpage.htm, Copyright © 1997 by Anthony C.

    Scratching the Surface, Not Driving in Bullets or: Why White People are Such Morons A great number of people know who Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was. My generation has had the opportunity to learn about his work in the civil rights movement and his “I have a Dream” speech as early as elementary school. I’d venture to say that a fewer amount of people know that this icon was assassinated and James Earl Ray, a white man, was arrested as his killer. Unfortunately, an even smaller number of people have heard of, or have read about a remarkable civil rights writer named James Baldwin. Determining whom killed Martin Luther King seems to still be an issue because of the guilt of the white man.

Hungry soldiers were terrorizing the community, while tomb robbers were raiding the pyramids for resources that were very much needed. They had buried their pharaohs with food, goods and jewelry, all of which were needed to keep the civilization in tact. They had built too many pyramids, and there were setbacks in Asia which corrupted trade. People did not understand why the pharaohs could not fix the problems that were going on. They viewed them as gods and lost trust and faith. Egypt fell apart as these things culminated with loss of belief in the pharaohs.
