Small, shabby and extremely mysterious tomb
Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun ( future Tutor) is one of the most famous kings and most well-known of the great pharaots who ruled ancient Egypt. He became king at a young age, only about 8 or 9, when his father, the king, pharaoh Akhenaten, died around 1334 BC. Due to his young age, pharaoh tutankhmaun had advisors who held many important powers and made many decisions for him.
tutankhamun continued to rule for about 10 years until his death at the age of 18 or 19 and was buried in the Valley of the Kings, a vast desert that houses the tombs of the great kings of ancient Egypt.
While the tombs of other Egyptian pharaohs were pillowed by thieves before being excavated by archaeologists and explorers, the tombs of Tutankhmaun remain intact. It was not until 22, the tomb of the great pharaoh, that it was discovered by the British studiopath Howard Carter.
However, what Carter found was not a mausoleum that matched the status of a great king, but a small, shabby, and extremely mysterious tomb. This is the reason why the tomb of pharaoh Tutankhamun has not been discovered for thousands of years.
The Mystery of Strange Black Spots
More recently, "strange" black spots have been identified inside the mausoleum, according to discoveries in the documentary "Secret: Tut's Mausoleum" on the Smithsonian Channel.
Dr Chris Naunton, director of the Egypt Exploration Association, explained that there is usually a "very clear process for burying the king and ensuring everything is perfect".
However, as the narrator in the documentary noted: "But it seems like this is not the case of Tut".
Dr. Naunton examined an interesting feature of the walls in the mausoleum. He described them as "strange spots" seen all over the walls. These spots are mold, organic matter that does not appear anywhere else in the Valley of the Kings.
Conservationists were concerned that mold was formed from the breath and sweat of visitors to tutankhamuns mausoleum.
However, when studying the initial photos of explorer Carter, there were clear black spots on the mausoleum wall.
Adam Lowe, director of Factum Arte, said that black spots are the result of tomb tomb sealing before painting can dry.
This is considered to be of great significance because it shows that the tomb decorators were in a hurry to complete the work - a strange thing in the preparation for the resting place of an Egyptian pharaoh.
Lowe and his colleagues took high-resolution photos of the paintings in the burial chamber, including black spots, revealing each of the artists' unique drawing features, clearly showing the traces of the hurried palm stains. "My estimate is that the team of skilled painters will not take more than a week to paint Tutankhamun's mausoleum," he said.
repainting the tomb of an Egyptian pharaoh usually takes many years of work. Therefore, the question is why this happened so quickly to the tomb of King Tut.
The ruined remains of pharaoh Tutankhamun show his sudden death. This may be part of the answer. According to ancient Egyptian tradition, there were only 70 days from the time the king passed away until his tomb was sealed.
Other theories about why the England England England tomb was not up to the standards it should have been.
Egyptian scholar Alia Ismail once shared in the documentary "The Loss of Egypt" by the National Geographic that he believed that Tutankhamun's successor, pharaoh Ay, had hidden the tomb of King Tut.
When looking at the tombs of two ancient Egyptian pharaohs, she discovered similarities, with most of the paintings on the walls almost identical. "Both Tut and Ay chose the same scene, almost the same person," she emphasized. However, only Ay's mausoleum is suitable for the position of a pharaoh.
"Ayer's mausoleum is very similar to Tutankhamun's mausoleum - in style, artwork, coffin - but much larger. He buried Tutankhamun in a smaller grave so he could have a larger grave for himself. The real mausoleum for Tutankhamun is the mausoleum of Ay," she said.
