The Pharaoh of Egypt Tutankhamun belongs to the eighteenth dynasty of Egyptian rulers.
He reigned from 1347 to 1337 BC.
The degree of his relationship with his predecessor Amenhotep IV is still a mystery for scientists.
It is possible that the Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun was the younger brother of Akhenaten and the son of the latter's father, Amenhotep III.
There are also those who believe that he was the tsar's son in law.
After all, he was not even ten years old, and he was already married to one of the daughters of Akhenaten and his wife Nefertiti.
Pharaoh Tutankhamun received the throne at the age of nine.
This is the cult of the Sun god Aton, which was introduced in Egypt by Amenhotep IV.
However, in reality, the rule in the country passed to two educators and regents of the young pharaoh Aye and Horemheb, former associates of Akhenaten, who anathematized the teachings of their former patron immediately after his death.
The Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun, who ascended the throne early, did not leave a significant trace in history: historians only know that during his reign the process of restoration of religious cults began in the country.
Many of them were rejected for the sake of the supreme Aton.
It was Tutankhamun, whose name originally sounded "Tutankhaton", who canceled it, proving his desire to revive the ancient cult of Amun.
This became known when archaeologists managed to decipher the text of a large stele erected by him in the main temple of this god in Karnak.
From there, it became known that Pharaoh Tutankhamun not only returned to the previous cult, but also returned all their rights and possessions to the priests who worshipped Amon.
For the first four years after his accession to the throne and, according to historians, under the influence of Queen Nefertiti, Pharaoh Tutankhamun still continued to rule from Akhetaton.
And only after the death of his mother, the supporters of the former cult of religion managed to finally gain the upper hand.
But after leaving the territory of Akhetaton, the pharaoh's court did not return to Thebes, but moved to Memphis.
Of course, Pharaoh Tutankhamun visited this southern capital from time to time.
There he even participated in the main city festivals in honor of Amun.
Nevertheless, for reasons unknown to historians, he chose Memphis as his permanent residence.
Having restored the cult of all the old gods, including Amun, Pharaoh Tutankhamun did not subject the previous priests to persecution.
He ordered the images of the Sun and Akhenaten to be left untouched.
Moreover, in some inscriptions, the ruler called himself "the son of Aton".
During his reign, Egypt began to gradually restore its international influence, which was fairly shaken under the previous reformer pharaoh.
Thanks to the determination of the commander Horemheb, who soon after his mysterious death became the last ruler of the eighteenth dynasty, Tutankhamun managed to strengthen the position of his state in Syria and Ethiopia.
Perhaps the internal "pacification" achieved under this young king by the efforts of his inner circle, led by Aye, contributed a lot to the external situation of the country to strengthen.
In honor of the victory over Syria, the arrival of the royal ship was even depicted in Karnak, on which there were prisoners in a cage.
Achievements According to historians, at the same time Egypt conducted successful military battles in Nubia.
Some researchers claim that the Pharaoh Tutankhamun enriched his temples with trophies from the spoils of war.
From the inscription in the tomb of Amenhotep, the governor of Nubia, who was abbreviated as Khai, it became known that some tribes paid tribute.
During the reign of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, the photo of whose funeral mask is even in school textbooks, led the intensive restoration of many sanctuaries of the former gods destroyed under his predecessor.
Moreover, he carried out this not only in Egypt, but also in the Nubian city of Kush.
It is known for certain about several temples, including in Kava and in Faras.
However, later Horemheb and Aye ruthlessly erased the cartouches of Tutankhamun, usurping everything that was erected under him.
He definitely had a brilliant future ahead of him, but he died completely unexpectedly, without even having time to leave an heir.
Despite the fact that this famous Egyptian ruler lived more than thirty three centuries ago, the mystery that covers the history of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, the mystery of his death and mummification still continues to interest scientists.
The death of Pharaoh Tutankhamun - the ruler of the New Kingdom - overtook at a very early age.
At the time of his death, he was barely nineteen years old.
Such an early death has long been considered sufficient reason to call it unnatural.
Some historians believe that Pharaoh Tutankhamun was killed on the orders of his own regent Aye, who then became the new ruler.
The latest research, however, gives some hope that the mystery of the death of this boy tsar can be found.
The discovery of his tomb in 1922 became a real sensation.
Among the few tombs that have been preserved after millennia in a relatively pristine form, the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun was striking in its richness.
It was stuffed with ivory and gold, as well as various ornaments.
Among them was the famous funeral mask of Pharaoh Tutankhamun.
However, the way the king was buried seems very strange.
Perhaps this indicates that not everything is "clean"in his death.
Most of all, scientists are suspicious of the young man's grave itself.
Its small size and unfinished decoration indicate that this young ruler died suddenly.
It is this circumstance and a number of others that lead to the idea that his death has a violent character.
Investigation 3300 years after the mysterious death of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, British film producer Anthony Geffen has taken up the investigation of this ancient mystery.
To this end, he even hired two modern detectives former FBI investigator Greg Cooper and the director of the criminology department from the Ogden (Utah) police Mike King.
An extensive volume of materials was transferred to the disposal of detectives.
These were not only scientific works or photos of Tutankhamun's tomb, X ray analyses of his mummy and the conclusions of many experts.
Based on all this, the detectives tried to solve the mystery of the pharaoh's death using the methods of modern criminology.
And they, surprisingly enough, managed to prove that Pharaoh Tutankhamun was killed.
Moreover, they, according to them, were even able to figure out the killer.
However, many well known Egyptologists consider the conclusions of these detectives to be complete nonsense.
Moreover, they believe that the research of Cooper and King is concocted from old theories, and therefore cannot be taken seriously.
The amazing tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun, which experts call the KV62 object, is located in the "Valley of the Kings".
This is almost the only tomb that is almost not looted.
Therefore, it reached the scientists in its original form, despite the fact that it was opened twice by tomb thieves.
It was discovered in 1922 by famous Egyptologists: Englishmen Howard Carter and amateur archaeologist Lord Carnarvon.
The tomb they found was simply amazing: it has perfectly preserved decorations, but most importantly it contained a sarcophagus with a mummified body.
In the eyes of historians and archaeologists, Tutankhamun remained a minor little known pharaoh.
Moreover, there were even doubts expressed in general about the reality of the existence of such a pharaoh.
This misconception continued until the beginning of the twentieth century.
Therefore, the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb was considered as the greatest event.
Opening of the century On the fourth of November 1922, when the entrance to his tomb was cleared, it was found that the seals on the doors were intact.
This gave hope for the commission of one of the largest archaeological discoveries of the century.
On the twenty sixth of November of the same year, Carter and Carnarvon descended into the tomb for the first time in three millennia.
After several months of excavations, on February 16, 1923, Carter finally managed to go down to the "holy of holies" - to the burial chamber.
It was called the "Golden Palace" - the place where the sarcophagus and the mummy of Pharaoh Tutankhamun were located.
Among the numerous utensils and objects buried with the ruler, many examples of art were found that bore the stamp of the influence of the culture of the Amarna period.
The owner of all these treasures, then a completely unknown and unexplored young Egyptian ruler, immediately turned into an object that attracted increased attention around the world.
And this phenomenal discovery itself not only turned his name into a well known one, but also caused a surge of interest in all the other traces of this ancient civilization in the modern world.
The curse of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun After the Egyptologists Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter discovered this tomb in the "Valley of the Kings", the history of the mummy began to be shrouded in multiple secrets and fears.
Less than two months after the mummy of Pharaoh Tutankhamun was found, on April 5, 1923, 57 year old Lord Carnarvon died in the Continental Hotel in Cairo.
As it was said in the conclusion, death overtook him as a result of a"mosquito bite".
But that was just the beginning.
This was followed by the death of several other people who participated in the excavations.
They all went down to the tomb of Tutankhamun.
They were: Wood a radiologist who X rayed the mummy directly in the tomb, La Fleur a professor of literature from England, Mace - a specialist in conservation, as well as Howard Carter's assistant - Richard Befil.
Journalists started talking about the curse that brings the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun.
Lord Carnarvon's death was really strange: he allegedly died of pneumonia, which began after a mosquito bite.
However, by a mystical coincidence, at the moment of his death, the lights went out completely all over Cairo, and in his homeland - in distant London - the lord's dog whined plaintively.
A few minutes later, she fell dead.
But the curse of Pharaoh Tutankhamun did not end there either.
As it was reported in information sources, many local Egyptians who participated in the excavations died shortly after the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun was opened.
Mysticism was also added by the death of five Europeans, who were also directly related to the find.
One of them died suddenly from a fever, the others from a heart attack or from exhaustion.
There is no curse, all the treasures of Tutankhamun's tomb were taken out by the British and sent to their museums.
But when people began to talk all over the world that the curse of the pharaohs overtakes anyone who is involved in the "desecration" of their graves, they began to make films and write novels on this topic.
But even if it existed, for some reason it did not affect everyone.
For example, the same Howard Carter lived to an old age and died at the age of sixty four, having lived for seventeen years after the opening of the sarcophagus.
In contrast to the mystical explanation of this curse, some near scientific sources began to try to logically justify the causes of death of all those people who visited the tombs or came into contact with mummies.
There are three possible versions.
This is the effect of poisons present in the sarcophagus and laid during burial, the effect of certain radioactive elements or a fungus that multiplies in the grave mold.
In addition, Egyptologists point out that in the religious and magical practice of this civilization there was no such thing as a "curse", and many people engaged in the study of other tombs did not experience any problems with mysticism.
Therefore, scientists accuse journalists of creating this legend, who made a sensation out of each of the deaths of those who were associated with the grave of Tutankhamun.
