londen - New DNA research sheds light on Pharaoh Toetanchamon's death mystery after over 100 years. Theories debunked, new insights revealed.

Pharaoh Toetanchamon's Mysterious Death

Over 100 years after the discovery of Pharaoh Toetanchamon's tomb, new DNA research has provided insights into his death.

Background

  • Born around 1300 BC, Toetanchamon ascended the Egyptian throne at 9 years old and died at 18.
  • In 1922, his tomb was unearthed by Howard Carter.

Theories and Findings

  • Initial theories suggested murder or a fatal accident, but recent research debunks these claims.
  • Injuries, like missing ribs and a broken leg, raised questions, later linked to a possibly fatal infection.
  • Inteet breeding might have caused bone weaknesses, contributing to his early death.
  • New DNA analysis in 2000 proposed Koehler's disease and malaria as the likely causes of death.

Latest Discoveries

Recent findings by German DNA specialists and Cairo University suggest a combination of diseases led to Toetanchamon's demise.

Challenges in Determining Cause of Death

Mummification and organ removal make defining the exact cause of death challenging over time, despite advanced research.

Tim Batty, director of the Toetanchamon exhibition in London, highlighted the significance of these new findings in unraveling the mysteries surrounding the Pharaoh's life and death.
