Tutankhamun, commonly referred to as King Tut, governed Egypt from 1332-1323 BC. Born as the son of Pharaoh Akhenaten, Tutankhamun assumed the throne at the tender age of 9 or 10. Besides inheriting the throne at a young age, Pharaoh Tutankhamun was also the ruler who met an untimely demise, passing away at merely 18 years old.

The demise of the renowned Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun remains shrouded in mystery. Some accounts suggest that Tutankhamun suffered a fall resulting in a broken leg.

This is the only mummy ever found to have a penis in a strange and mysterious position like this. According to a study, this anomaly is intentional.

Until now, Pharaoh Tutankhamun is believed to be related to the mysterious curse that caused many people involved in the discovery of this legendary king’s tomb to die mysteriously. Specifically, in February 1923, Egyptologist Howard Carter and his team found the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings in the city of Luxor, southern Egypt.

The discovery of Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s tomb was an archaeological discovery that shocked the world. However, this event later became the most famous case of the “Pharaoh’s curse”.

In just 2 years after excavating the tomb of pharaoh Tutankhamun, 22 people died suddenly and mysteriously.
