Weirdest Facts About King Tut
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 06. 2024
- More than almost any other ancient ruler, facts about King Tut, the boy who led an empire and was buried in a tomb stuffed with gold and artifacts, have been hard to deduce. Who was this young man given the responsibility of carrying on a line descended from the gods? How did he live? And how did he die?
Since Tut's tomb was found in 1922, these questions have slowly been answered. Thanks to advanced technology in DNA analysis, we've found some surprising things about his heritage and his physical stature.

Tuts family tree is a circle
I thought that was boy george
Inbreds
It’s a wreath
It’s like chainmaille; 100,000+ small circles linked and unbreakable, designed to be impenetrable to invaders.
yeah Incest isn't really keeping bloodlines pure its quite opposite
"I'd like you to meet my aunt, cousin, grandma, and sister"........there is one woman standing there....😳
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmfao 🤣
What about
Grandpa, brother, uncle!?
You've never been to Cornwall, you can be introduced to four generations, aunts and cousins and there's just your new date's mother stood there.
Oh yeah, she’s also my wife.
Honestly feel really bad for him. He was born with defects, lost his father before the age of nine, lost his children, died young, and probably worst of all his own people tried to erase his existence.
I'm sure his life was incredibly luxurious compared to commoners.
@@rubiconnn yea but even luxury can't make disabilities easier
@@alexandranur5530 It absolutely can. They had servants to do everything for them. They didn't have to toil in the fields. Having disabilities didn't mean dying of starvation.
His parents were brother and sister, and he was married to his half-sister.
His defects were due to the prolific inbreeding that his family took the path of lol.
In today's Middle East it's reported that 75%+ of people over there are inbred.
That poor little boy.... He must have been going through so much pain in every aspect! He lost his two babies too and he wasn't respected even after his death, the poor child good lord
It’s so sad. He never even made it to 20. He was made ruler at NINE years old. He never had a childhood, he was always in pain due to inbreeding, and then after he died everyone tried acting like he never even existed. It’s so heartbreaking
Considering the fact that he was buried with his daughters most likely meant he wanted to be with them in the afterlife, because he could be during his life.
his wife was his sister
@@vatsalsrivastav5195 awww poor children. All 3 of them.
Hi beautiful
Tut: "I'm my own grandpa."
Him and Philip J. Fry have something in common
😂🤣😂
Edit: is that even possible?
😂😂🤣
fancyramen actually yeah, look up “how to be my own grandpa” and it’s pretty strange XD
I havent thought of that song in so long lol!!
King Tuts body: becomes famous thousands of years after death
King tut: I finally made it big , papa
Lol
This is beautiful.

:((
Legal name: Tutankhaten
Royal name: Tutankhamun
What people call him today : King Tut
What his friends actually used to call him: T-dog
😂😂🤣 yup
Hhhhaha i know what u saying
Tutty-Tut
lucky he was not named Tit.
🤣🤣
fun fact from an archaeology minor: many of the treasures found in Tut’s tomb were actually treasures that belonged to his father, Nefertiti (and presumably her gold when she was pharaoh for a brief time), Smenkhkare, his oldest sister who was a great royal wife, and his two successors. Tut’s tomb was a royal decluttering.
Also with Tut’s parentage, it is most likely that Tut was a secondary child from his father’s lower wife Kiya. However, the mummy found that was Tut’s father is not 100% sure to be Akhenaten, and some archaeologists actually think that the pharaoh Smekhkare was Tut’s father, as it was odd that two pharaoh’s that aren’t Akhenaten’s children were king.
Boo
wait, sorry i thought nefertiti was a woman? not correcting you ofc, you seem v much more knowledgeable about this than i, but ur pronoun usage abt her/him (i.e nefertiti) confused me. obvs fine if not but would u mind explaining a lil? (also ugh im so jealous of u, studying archaeology sounds so interesting! / gen
Bro drawing Tut's family tree would be the easiest assignment in history I would just have to draw a circle and I'd be fine
Thank me later.
Tut: o this is my mom who is my sister and my dad is my second cousin twice removed and my Little brother is actually my cousin
Me:??? Ok
@@Pharaoh_Tutankhamen lol wtf
@Caleb Bonati Look who is calling who pathetic, my cousin
@Caleb Bonati I am Tut, ask anyone, ask my wife
Imagine that big of a responsibility at 9 years old.
Being that unhealthy? I would throw myself into the Nile.
especially with so many disabilities
But back then people matured at around 9 years old unlike modern humans who mature at around 22-28
@@Blades_00 ??? You have any source of this? I’d like to know more!
@@ir4629 I don’t have a source for you but it makes sense that children would mature much quicker in ancient Egypt than like they do now! Especially because the Egyptians are a hardworking culture, they have probably learned from a young age making them much more advanced. Everyone would have had a job to help life move smoothly, and children weren’t much of an exception. This is just from a psych perspective though, there could be many factors!! I just love to learn about ancient Egypt lol
it’s hard to imagine what kind of incredible treasures were stolen in those two robberies throughout history given how amazing the artifacts they left behind in his tomb were
Probably food before it spoiled. :P
One can.just imagine all the treasures stolen and now in Eurropean museums. Just imagine if the pyramids were not so large they would be in some UK museum & they would claim they built them. pyraminds were
There is a theory they actually took oils because they were more valuable than gold at one point.
“He married at 9 to an older half sister”
This is some serious Ara Ara shit right here
King Tut on the thumbnail looks like a makeup influencer
Funny

I did pretty bad in History back in school because of Boredom and lack of interest. But this channel makes it fun and interesting!! 👍
I can't agree with you more my friend. I almost regret not being more interested in school, to bad teachers can't make it as interesting as weird history CZcams channel.
King tut king but
@@utefan7718 I agree
Yassss if they taught like this in school I would have passed history
EXACTLY
Not sure if it's been said already, but the reason the name change when becoming Pharaoh is so important is the "-aten" was in reference to his incredibly unpopular father's monotheistic religion, while Tut taking "-amun" is making the bold statement that he would not be like his father and would return Egypt to it's polytheistic religion!
Boo
That's a bald faced lie. Lol. 😅🤣
the fact that his tomb was the most underwhelming of all, people tried to push him down the line of recognition such as his successor pharaoh ay; who's thought to take the original tomb built for tut for himself, he wasn't a prominent figure in the history of ancient Egypt and was pretty much put to different attempts to be forgotten ( a lot of his statues were deliberately destroyed and his name from the bottom were scrubbed away as well), BUT he still ended up as the most famous pharaoh of Egypt baffles me. Seriously, how much uncertain can fate be to land you in the reaches of fame after literally 3400 years of your death. I could only wish to tell him in a way that he's made it. Sorry for being wordy but had to say this undeniably.
I do agree with ur take on his popularity... he was definitely not in the same league as his ancestor as a ruler.. u have to remember he died young so his rule was short,the amun priesthood hated his father,so that hatred was probably still there for his only son... King Tut seem to have been a puppet of the individuals who control the Southern amun temples... He even had to change his name from aten to amun... I like his story because he's from a line of ancient people from the south..
@@NubiansNapata yes i find him the most fascinating ironically because considering the fact that he wasn't as glorious as other pharaohs. may his soul rest in peace.
Interestingly enough, its been found out in recent years that the reason why tuts tomb was largely forgotten and undisturbed is because HE WAS BURIED IN THE WRONG PLACE. The tomb he was placed in was getting ready for one of his 2 main advisors, but because he died suddenly and so young, his tomb was barely even started. So they hastily reworked his advisors tomb while Tut was being embalmed and put him in it 🤷♀️ so in addition to the erasure he received later from the monarchy, he wasn't buried with his family 😕
Eye-
...
And they didn't even go back to move him?? Or is that disrespectful-
Idk but um. WOW.
That's sad ngl :(
But his mother's tomb was close to his burial...she died giving birth to him. Nefertiti only had given birth to girls, the younger lady referenced was a sister of his fathers but certainly not Nefertiti
Tutenkhamun was buried in the tomb meant for Nefertiti. This was probably due to the fact he died so quickly and unexpectedly. It was discovered by accident after someone at the British museum accidentally broke the beard part off that the death mask he was buried with was actually meant for Nefertiti. Nefertiti was his stepmother and the twins would have been his stepsisters
@@starrchild1080 It is speculated that he was buried in his advisers, Eye's (I may be spelling that wrong....but that's what it sounds to me) tomb. It was mostly political as he buried the dead Pharaoh, then became Pharaoh.... *LOL* Also, his pronouncement of Tut's wife is incorrect....
@Oh Happy Day I don't know where you got your information from but tutenkhamun was the son of Akhenaten, the Pharo who wanted Egypt to become a monotheistic society worshipping only the sun god ahk instead of worshipping the multitude of gods that was traditional in Egypt as a polytheistic society. His name was originally tutakhenaten but he changed it to tutenkhamun because his father was so hated
Food of the ancient Egyptians would be interesting
There was an old BBC show I think called the supersizes eat... and then many different times. I’m sure they did an episode on ancient Egypt 🙂
This would be great! What they ate, how it was prepared and where they grew it.
a channel called tastinghistory make multiple culture ancient recipes if you are interested!
In Egypt we still cook many of ancient Egyptian food
All i know about food in ancient Egypt is the bread often had sand in it from grinding and people had teeth issues from it
I’ve learned more from this channel so far than I ever did in history class at school I swear 😂
This channel is phoney🤣🤣🤣
Boo
Tut doesn’t have a family tree, he’s got a freakin wreath.
This just makes me curious how many Egyptian rulers from back then had servere physical ailments with all the inbreeding they were doing and how different statues would look if they bothered to be accurate 😬
probably,they would look like Charles the 2,the last Habsburg king of Spain.
Apparently theres not insignificant proof that statues of certain pharaohs with breasts were accurate, they may have had gynocomastia
@@maximilianolimamoreira5002 was he the one whos head was full of water when they did the autopsy?
@@brynnaraney4956 probably,yes,though,as far as i know,he was found with a lot of the physical problems shown:broken bones,feminine traits,etc.
Get your facts right
I love the Egyptian history. It's very mysterious in ways, and really interesting.
I love you too.

Why did all the ancient greeks call ancient egyptians Black? according to the following eyewitness:
Eyewitness to ancient egyptian phenotype:
Herodotus: The ancient Greek historian who lived in the 5th century BCE described the ancient Egyptians as having black skin and woolly hair in his work "Histories."
Strabo: The ancient Greek geographer and historian who lived in the 1st century BCE described the Ethiopians (a term that could refer to people from various parts of Africa) as having black skin and woolly hair, and noted that some people considered the Egyptians to be of the same race.
Diodorus Siculus: The ancient Greek historian who lived in the 1st century BCE described the Ethiopians as having dark skin and curly hair, and noted that some people considered the Egyptians to be of the same race.
Plutarch: The ancient Greek philosopher and historian who lived in the 1st and 2nd centuries CE wrote that the Egyptians were "black with heat" due to the climate of their homeland.
Al-Masudi: The 10th-century Arab historian and geographer described the ancient Egyptians as "a black people, different-looking and woolly-haired."
Jean-Francois Champollion: The 19th-century French scholar who deciphered the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt noted that some ancient Egyptians depicted themselves with darker skin tones than those of their neighbors.

Herodotus: The description of the Egyptians as having "black skin and woolly hair" can be found in Book II, Chapter 22, which begins with the sentence "For my part I hold that the Colchians, the Egyptians, and the Ethiopians..."
Al-Masudi: The passage describing the Egyptians as "the darkest of all humans" can be found in Volume 1, Chapter 3, on page 52 of the edition I consulted.
Jean-Francois Champollion: In his "Lettre à M. Dacier relative à l'alphabet des hiéroglyphes phonétiques," Champollion does not use the term "black" to describe the ancient Egyptians. Rather, he argues that they were of African origin, based on linguistic and cultural evidence. The full text can be found at the link I provided earlier.
In his work "Bibliotheca Historica" (Historical Library), Diodorus Siculus proposed a theory that the Egyptian civilization had Nubian origins. He argued that the culture, religion, and knowledge of the ancient Egyptians had been heavily influenced by the indigenous people of Nubia. He based this hypothesis on his observations of the similarities between the two cultures and the existence of Nubian elements within Egyptian society and religion.
I guess al Masudi, Strabo, aristotle diodorus sicilus and plutarch are not credible too huh? What about the man who deciphered the hieroglyphs himself calling them negro africans, Jean Francois champollignon? You Euro-centrist are absolutely delusional.
Unlike you I post the source with the Link and in a intellectual debate it is not about source but DIRECT PROOF. Which is what I just did. You eurocentrist cannot beat me in a argument, hence you retort to insults.
Im honestly glad you mentioned he had daughters, although they were still borns he was still a father and not many people realized that. Though it raises a question in me...If they had lived ( even to a certain age ), what kind of people would've they been? The answer will never be known but still thanks for bringing his kiddo's into light so more can know!! ^-^
It makes you wonder if one them might have Queen
@mylesmartin5222 probably them themselves would have died young since they were too born of incest and hastily buried just like their father
Fun fact: No Egyptologist would ever refer to him as "King Tut".
@Kwabena Ptah What?
@Kwabena Ptah I don't know where you got that, but it's Tutankhamun.
@Kwabena Ptah Lol.
@Kwabena Ptah do you have any links to scientific studies or research that proves this? Any link to this Akan language on the walls of the temple?
@Kwabena Ptah if you ain't got the proof, you ain't got the credibility. I could also make up claims like the ancient Egyptians being space pirates who worship catgirls and just say "I know ma Kings, I don't need da proof"
And also, I don't give a frick about your Kali or whatever, unless it can come up with any evidence for you claims Kali can eat it's words too
Well, this was way sadder than I expected. Dude had an awful life full of nothing but tragedy and pain. One of the rare places in history where being a peasant might have been a preferable life.
Truly said even though being a king he died so young in so much pain I feel really bad for him
Wouldn't mind another clip about the artifacts from the tomb.
Just saw the exhibition its amazing

Pretty much the only reason his Tomb was untouched was they wanted him to be forgotten
yeah,many people hated him,for his religious policies
Ohh so that explains That when u visit his tomb there’s something engraved about a curse or something
Not just that the tomb was hidden very well and with nature taking its course it allowed the tomb to more hidden into the earth

Suggestion: The Egyptian worship of cats.
I like that!!!!
Yes
Would love to see that! ❤️
@Axel Drans i think that they could bc I read somewhere that the oldest recorded named cat was from Ancient Egypt, and was called Nedjm (Nedjum? Nejum? I forget the exact spelling) which means "Sweetie." I would bet that giving their pets names was common, they just didn't write it down. Idk for certain though. I mean I could see the logic in not allowing them to give the pet cats names, especially if the cats are regarded as incarnations of Bast, cuz... well, they're already named in that case lol
@Axel Drans maybe bc they were seen as gods and were worshipped, it was disrespectful/sinful to give a name to a god-like being.
Who remembers you?! No one. Who remembers Tut?! EVERYONE! In your face, Haramhep!
"Haram-hep" nice one.

I guess they were trying to keep it clean for the kiddies.
I remember back in 6th grade, we learned all about ancient Egypt. This included learning that the Pharaohs often married their own sisters or cousins to keep the bloodline "pure." We even learned how mummification worked. I think the most disturbing thing was how they removed the brain.
Very interesting. I enjoy these Weird History videos. Please keep them coming!!!
I love Steve Martin’s song to this day! I remember seeing him do it on SNL! My brother and I laughed so hard we woke up our parents! Ah, if only Weird History taught the youngsters today. You make it fascinating yet funny as well. Cheers!
I first saw artifacts from King Tut’s tomb during a world exhibition tour of 1979. Quite spectacular! In 2006 I was even luckier to visit Egypt and see not only the museum artifacts of Tut again but also his tomb, during a tour that included viewing a total solar eclipse. Talk about a peak life experience. Egypt is a fabulous place to visit. Nice people, good food, history all around.
Oh so not even gonna mention the 1980s hit “Walk Like An Egyptian”?

Literally everyone who knows who King Tut was, knows that his successors tried (and almost succeeded) in removing him from history.
For the sins of his father...
Ironically that make him the most famous Pharaon in modern era
The only other famous one I know of is Cleopatra.

I was fortunate enough to see Tut's exhibit in New Orleans back in the 80's . Wow will never forget looking at things made thousands of years ago. Beautiful!!!!
I remember when visiting Egypt with my parents in 1972, the guide mentioned the "curse of Tut's tomb" and my father, who was a general practitioner, thought that it might have been caused by bites from the tsetse fly. Of course, we now know that they probably died of various causes but given that this happened in 1962, it was a decent guess.

Okay but like...Nefertiti wasn’t just one of Akenhaten’s wives, she was the head wife. All of his other wives were concubines, but she was Queen. Also we definitely know that Tutankhamen wasn’t her son; Nefertiti and Akenhaten had 6 children, all girls. His mother had to be one of the other wives.
Great video, thank you for all your hard work and research!
Pretty sure Tut was a puppet pharaoh for the priests who despised Akhenaten, & probably were involved in his death. They re-instated the polytheistic religion as soon as Akhenaten was gone, Nefertiti rumored to have ran for her life. Her remains have never been found.
They recently found and DNA tested a body in one of the Valley of the Kings tombs that matches up with Nefertiti, so it's assumed she had a royal burial later in life, and was moved by priests.
EspressoStreams She matched up as a half sister to Akhenaten, so they ASSUMED/ said 🙄 she might be Nefertiti, but Akhenaten had many half-sisters. Tut was not the son of Nefertiti, but this body may be Tut’s mother. In addition, facial reconstructions of this new body do NOT look like Nefertiti’s well-known bust. Hawass is probably pulling one of his many scams, trying to drum up tourism (which is ridiculous, because the truth of finding Tut’s mother should be a big enough story on its own)
@@dafttool this is the same one from 2019, right?
EspressoStreams Yes, I believe the most recent one. The one the media got excited about. But the reconstruction looked nothing like Nefertiti, plus, it’s known she wasn’t Tut’s mother. She only had daughters,... so if she’s Tut’s mother, she can’t be Nefertiti

I have loved tut since being a kid. I have epilepsy and knowing he did too makes me love him even more cause I know how he suffered ♥️
Ive always loved tutankhamun too since I was a kid and have always been drawn to him and Ancient Egypt. but there is no evidence to suggest he had Epilepsy. During mummification they removed the brain, they wouldn't of done brain scans or Electroencephalogram (EEG) or even blood tests to of diagnosed such thing. They screwed into his leg bone for DNA and it was covered in embalming resin, took them awhile till they could use it for paternity tests.
Saw Tut back in his tomb in the Valley of the Kings several years ago. He was a tiny guy.
You should do a video on the history of graphic design. It begins with hieroglyphics!
Ok here way we go:
1. Amun is pronounced "Ah-Moon" not "Ah-men"
2. Nefertiti was not his mother. Tutankhamun's mother was a sister of Ahkenaten but we already know that Nefertiti was not his sister. She had totally different parents. In fact, it was that Nefertiti was related/a granddaughter of Ay (Tut's adviser/Vizier).
Fun Fact: His wife, Ahkesenamun, was also heavily deformed from inbreeding. The mummy that was DNA tested to be the mother of Tutankhamun's daughters, had two clubbed feet as well among other genetic hereditary ailments.
No one really knows who Tut's mother was. Its theorized that nefertiti was the daughter of the captain of the royal guard or another prominent leader in the Egyptian government. As nepotism was the trend, it is most likely that she was his first cousin, and since serious health issues can result from inbreeding between first cousins, it is entirely possible that Nefertiti was his mother. I could be incorrect, or just really wish that The Younger Lady was actually Nefertiti, but I'm just saying that it's not known for sure who his mom was.
@@eyebrowjellybean8319 Actually we know that The Younger Lady was Ahkenaten's full blooded sister and we already know that Nefertiti was never listed as the daughter of Ahkenaten's parents. Even if she was his first cousin, The Younger Lady was DNA tested along with Tutankhamun and Ahkenaten and was proven to Tutankhamun's mother and Ahkenaten's blood sister. Furthermore, it is well documented that Tutankhamun's wife, Ahkesenamun was a daughter of Nefertiti and Ahkenaten but it is already been long confirmed to be only his half-sister. So his mother really can't be Nefertiti.

Ivar wins hand down.
But I'd still pay to see it.
It's crazy how INTENTIONALLY boring school history is. They can make it so fun. I learned more about history in my college ART HISTORY class than any history class from any grade. There's so many interesting facts that they literally just skip
I'd rather hear some weird facts about rulers in history lessons too
Because you don't need to learn weird facts about people. You need to know who they are.
Awesome information, thanks.
Great video, Weird History! King Tut’s life is so fascinating to me. Could you perhaps do a video about one of my favorite authors in history, Jane Austen? I would love to hear you talk about her! I already love history, and you make it so interesting! Keep up the awesome videos! 😊
I can't stress enough how I love this video and the channel
thanks for the help with history homework
This guy sounds so much like Stephen Colbert to me
Since we’re already on the subject of Tut in pop-culture...does anyone else remember that Discovery Kids cartoon show about him? Basically he’s a mummy that comes to life at the museum and he becomes friends with a girl and her cat?
Wow thank you for reminding me of this. Definitely one of those forgotten shows lol

The only ancient African civilisation we seem to learn about is the Egyptian one. However, there were many more so I do hope to learn more about empires like that of the Mali or Buganda on this channel.
@The first humans had pale skin An empire is an extensive group of states under a single supreme authority, formerly especially an emperor or empress. A civilization is the stage of human social development and organization that is considered most advanced. Help me understand your point.
@@thatgirlnicoledun2747 He's probably trying to say that you can call this ancient cultures an empire - a group of people with a king. But because these empires have not developed any kind of written language (literature) and thus have not left us any written artifacts from which we can study them, they are not considered civilization. So you can't compare them with ancient Egypt, which was a civilization. For this reason, we have minimal knowledge of this empires that doesnt come even close to knowledge we have of ancient Egypt - because they had written artifacts. (Btw there are many criteria for culture to be considered civilization and they often differ but main one that everyone agrees on is that they should have at least some kind of written language aka alphabet.)
@@eruviefelix9618 I understand what you mean, but the kingdoms I listed as examples did in fact have writing. The Mali empire in particular, had been introduced to Islam by Arab scholars and it contained a library full of written works. Many other kingdoms, empires and communities in Africa had been introduced to Islam by Arab scholars and recorded a lot of the events that took place. All this before the missionaries arrived.
@@thatgirlnicoledun2747 Ou sorry. My mistake then. I didnt study this kingdoms I just believed the comment above was right (and wrongly assumed its porobably because of writing, because its often happens to be). Or maybe its another condition that I dont know about that this empires dont apply to? I dont know. So you can only wait for answer from original commenter. But now I googled and I found maps that consider this kingomds as civilizations. So I dont see problem here. Guy above was just probably confused too. Sorry again.
@@eruviefelix9618 No problem, really. It’s a common misconception most people have about Africa (that writing wasn’t introduced until the Europeans) but it’s just the education system I guess. Don’t worry about it!
5:52: "I directly succeeded Tut for pharaoh." Well damn Weird History, good for u!
You my friend deserve a like 👍🏿
I’d like to see a video about Pharah Hetsepsut.
In 2009, King Tut was an actual Batman villain in the comic books. Batman had to team up with the Riddler in order to capture him. Comic book Tut's costume was more serious than the TV show Tut's costume
I think this is a GREAT channel, Keep the facts a coming!! 😉
Notice a lot of white ppl telling story’s they is known for leaving out important things…
A+ video!
LOVE IT! What a fascinating topic and video, very eye-opening!
I thank the gods my children grew up well. The gods favored me and Jaime.

@Dant'e Stackz Power is power.
This was a fun video. Thank you! I wonder if anyone will ever discover Cleopatra’s tomb (if she even has a burial site).
Thanks for this video. I am currently taking Humanities 1301: Prehistory to Renaissance at a local community college. Today we covered Egypt, and this answered a question that came up about Tut: Did he have children.
Good work keep it up
King Tut never had the makings of a varsity athlete
