CAIRO – The mystery of the death of Pharaoh Tutankhamun (aka King Tut) until now has not been revealed, in fact it has long been believed that Tutankhamun died from open wounds because he was getting weak from malaria.
However, an Egyptologist has now proposed a controversial new theory, which suggests that the Boy King may have died in a drink-driving accident.
Sofia Aziz, an award-winning independent researcher, believes the ‘typical teenager’ is killed after a high-speed train crash while drunk on wine.
“It was this disaster that gave him a life-threatening fracture of his leg which later became infected and led to a slow death,” claims Ms Aziz.
“He was like any teenager, drunk and maybe driving the carriage too fast,” Ms Aziz told BBC Science Focus.
In 2010, a group of Egyptologists radiologically examined the pharaoh’s mummy to better understand the cause of death.
Raja, who was only 19 years old when he died, was found to have not only malaria but also various disorders at the time of his death.
Previous studies claimed he needed a cane to walk because he had painful Köhler’s disease in addition to oligodactyly in his right foot and clubfoot in his left.
