Ancient history is so interesting! What i would do to just go back in time and take a glimpse of this happening!
Me too
xox 44 that would be interesting!!
Me too!!!
You would take a glimpse and you will realize all which you thought you knew was all lies. You would go back in history, and without a doubt you would beg not to come back.
The thing I was just thinking
This "mystery" has already been solved.
His tomb was constructed hastily because, not only did he die YEARS before any other average Pharaoh, it was sudden and unexpected, as well.
Meaning; they had from the time of his death until the standard mourning period of 70 days, (on average) ended and the, "opening of the mouth ceremony," took place just prior to sealing the tomb.
That means, the new King, who had only taken the position of Pharaoh before the age of 10, even though he was already the ruling Pharaoh by the time of his death, probably had another, more elaborate, tomb being constructed somewhere else in the Valley of the Kings that would typically take decades to complete.
It could have even been the tomb in which he was buried, and that's just all they had time to excavate by that point in his life, it's actually less clear.
Either way, having only a few years to excavate, construct, carve, and decorate his tomb by the time I his death meant that he would have to have been buried within a very hastily completed tomb.
It is hypothesized that the reason the reliefs carved into the four interior walls of his burial chamber are all of varying styles is because four teams of artists had a total of 70 days to finish each of their respective walls.
What killed him is still a mystery. It could have been murder or just an accident, but had he lived longer than his 20-ish years, like most other Pharaohs, he would have undoubtedly been buried in a far more extensive and elaborate tomb.
Luckily for us, (and him, really,) it's because his tomb was so small and seemingly insignificant that it managed to escape Millennia of tomb robbers, so that we, here in contemporary times, would be able to discover it untouched and intact.
His premature death and hasty burial is actually the main reason for his "gift" to the modern world.
And, that's a profound irony that's worth him becoming the most famous and well-known Egyptian Pharaoh in history. 👍
Nigga are you a fucking history teacher
Now that's a lot of shit nobody is gonna read
lmao
But what about the fact the name cartouches are different in his tomb one being on his gold throne specifically it does not read Tutankhamen.
There is recent hypothesis that the death mask wasn't even meant for him also ?

Yep
Yes and I'll add to it.. they made pyramid s , worshipping the sun? That is luciphereans for you. And the Pharoahs were chief Satan worshippers who believed themselves gods
They better keep that melanin on them tomb walls as well
Literally 😂
True
King Tut was filled with many issues due to inbreeding within the family. He died unexpectedly and given that the process of burial only gave about 90 days they had to complete it all. It takes over 30 years for a whole tomb to be completed. So these skilled craftsmen had to do 30 years of work in less than 90 days.

See I thought the same thing. They did tombs for each reigning king as the expectant life they have. King tut died so suddenly I would think they barley had enough time to get the paintings up before he was laid to rest. Plus he was a child, even for those times, so maybe they made it simple so he would get to the underworld much easier then a king who had been around for much longer.
@@CristinaAshley8 Id say there was foul play in his death.
Why was it completed quickly? Maybe because he died at an early age, unexpectedly, the workers didn’t have 30+ years to work on this like the older pharaohs. Because of this, the tomb had to be rushed for his burial, because without the ceremony Egyptians believed the Sun would not rise again.
Thats what i suspected.
It is also speculated that this was never meant to be his tomb at all. His successor Ay was his overseer during his 9 year reign and basically ran the country himself. His tomb is much more extravagant than that of Tut's and because of this, it is speculated that the tomb of Ay was actually meant for Tut.
It would also back up why his famous death mask was never really his. It is dead that researchers found out that because he died at a early age they took the death mask from another person and placed it on to the head peice for him. It is also known that very recently they found another chamber further along near to his burial chamber filled with other things associated with king tut because they could not get the tomb ready in time for his belongings so they used a already existing one close by.
I think I got that all right. I'm not a exbert and I'm only in high school 🤣
*said that researchers not dead that.... 🤣 sorry

It must be amazing to witness this with your own eyes directly. I fall in love with Egyptian ancient history.

Imagine spending your whole life building someone's tomb
Nice work if you can get it. Good job security.
Yikes 😳
Then imagine if that other person dint die?
I would go and bury myself in
Atleast they were payed with bread and alcohol
I'd like to give credit to the young water boy who actually found the step leading to the tomb of King Tut. He is hardly if ever mentioned.
what do you mean? was the tomb discovered by the boy or did the boy find the "segment" that lead to king tut's tomb?
Abdel Rassoul was the Young water boy who discovered stone steps that lead to the entrance of the tomb. He was no older than Tut himself when he first came to the throne which is ironic really and kind of beautiful that this Child found someone who could be his equal and his friend in this life🥰🌈🌻☀️👑♒️💗🏹🏺🌊
Props to the water boy yo!
The water boy actually tripped and spilt all the water he was bringing back and that’s where people noticed a step that was hardly visible sticking out of the sand.

He died young and unexpectedly. Most pharoahs spent years designing their tombs. He was buried in a hurry and he was unimportant in comparison to his predecessors. His tomb was also very luckily not looted like the other burial sites in the valley of the dead, leaving a low budget, but clear picture of what a full on burial would have looked like. That's why he is so important, his tomb wasn't impressive and neither was his life but it was untouched by looters.
His tomb was looted. And. The paintings were recently added. His body was returned by legalize action of an African historian, called Dr. Be n. Tut's burial chamber was in 1983, bland and in disarray. His mummy was. encased in a gold casket. Repairs:, paintings on the walls was added after 1983

He died at a very young age. This might be the reason why it was made in a hurry or left incomplete.

When we studied ancient Egyptian history back in Post-WW II America, Tut was discussed--back then--as a minor Pharoah who died before his real tomb (one that would probably have been pillaged over the centuries) could be completed, so he was buried in what was a minor tomb, meant for a lesser man than a Pharoah. The fact that he was buried with such immense wealth--even as a very young man--was taught to us as a "teaser"--imagine the wealth that the greater Pharoahs would have taken to their tombs, if only those tombs hadn't been robbed of their treasures before exploration of them by Egyptologists began in earnest.
It's simple he died young and they weren't expecting him to die that quickly
Who’s watching this 5 years after it was made
It was made 2 years ago ?
@@turtlesquad455 he's talking to the future
How incredible would it be too see such things up close.
Presentation that involves Kent Weeks is always great.
So many egyptologist in this comment section.
Maybe he wasn't recognised as a king officially in the court and bumped off. Then the people who created the Tomb out of respect and love for somebody they probably knew personally rushed about covertly to give him the somewhat Royal burial he deserved. 👍
exactly same thought here
Also they wouldn't have been able to give him a fully gold sarcophagus cause the gold was controlled by the king/queen and if the next in line is to young to take the thrown the gold is provided through their version of the court.
He was also going through a troubled time with somewhat of a power struggle during his reign.
This ain't a hollywood movie, ancient egyptians would laugh at you.

Tutankhamen was the son of Ankhnaton the pharaoh that created Armana and husband to Nefertiti.
Many Egyptians (political and non political ) believed after the Armana episode when Tutankhamen was returned to Thebes with his half sister wife Ankesanamen to be crowned king he had to be taught all the old religion that his father had replaced with the one god religion to honour the Aten.
It is believed that his advisor murdered him in order to become king himself, but Tutankhamens widow refuses to marry him, she plead to a Nubian king to allow her to marry one of his sons so she didn’t have to marry the murdering advisor. The king sent to sons both of whom were murdered. Ankesanamens body/tomb has never been found. She and tuts names were removed from all temples and the Egyptians removed his name from the list of pharaohs.
His name should be in between the name of his father Ankhnaton and the name of the advisor who then became pharaoh, King Iye.
All in all Tutankhamens tomb was prepared in a fast way due to his sudden murder and attempt to make him irrelevant in history after the distress and disaster that his father had caused
The splendour and magnificence of the treasures, coffins and sarcophagus found in King Tut's tomb will leave you completely awestruck. The gold work and etching is simply breath taking. But as our guide in Egypt told us...that if a minor Pharaoh like Tut who died young, was unimportant and lived at a time when Egypt was past her golden age could have a coffin and sarcophagus so grand then imagine what truly grand treasures the tombs of the great pharaohs like Ramses II would hold. It simply blows ones mind. The sad part is all of those tombs were looted or stripped over centuries by raiders and grave robbers unlike King Tut's which managed to remain hidden and was discovered completely untouched. Consequently making him the most famous historical discovery of mankind.
I was there. Alone with King Tut. Nobody else for half an hour. It still is one of my best experiences of my life. 👑✨
What if the reason that his tomb was the only in tact one was because his job was so rushed so he never got to the underworld and other tombs weren’t actually robbed they were just successful in the transfer to the afterlife🤯
Adam Jerde this is a peculiar thought , could be true too
😦
Certi waffler.
hmmm
Nah they were robbed for sure, There is Senusret II golden uraeus has been found but not the actual death mask or coffin, the golden uraeus suggets that he had golden death mask as well, and that is just the tip of the ice berg.
It was probably different because Pharaohs ordered the making of their own tombs. Because he was so young he hadn’t made one yet, so they had to make one quickly before the next pharaoh.
Actually this is my civilization, and every time I see any thing about it ,I say wow ,really wow ,my grand parents were amazing 👏 😍, I am so proud for being an Egyptian
في الحقيقه دي حضارتي،وكل مره بشوف حاجه عنها ،بتبهرني ،أجدادي كانو رائعين ،انا فخوره بكوني مصريه
*Fascinating* 🔎
Totally disagree with the commentary that king tut was "Insignificant " he was the son of Akhenaten and his successor so doubt very much that he was Insignificant!!! He didn't live long enough to achieve anything major !!! However he beat everyone's ass in the end !!! His name is known by all in the universe!!!
you need to calm down...
He was not Akhenaten's successor. There was 1 king and 1 queen in between.
My favorite shows growing up was "Welcome back Carter" Why?

Very interesting video.
Maybe he died in an unexpected sooner death, and to my understanding on this video, it said that after death and once it starts to become night, he has to have the instructions on the walls in order to achieve immortality, and it has to happen before sunrise. So maybe the tomb was being prepared and died sooner than expected so it had to be rushed. Even so to me I feel like in order to achieve immortality, it doesn't has to mean you have to be alive in this world in flesh, but immortality as being forever remembered, in other words living in history, which as you can see he was able to accomplish.
According to some theories, tutankhamuns tomb was so grand because he reverted the official state religion back to being centered on amun-ra. His father Akhenaten had previously changed the religion of Egypt to be solely centered on Aten which was very unpopular at the time. The fact that he also changed his name from tutankhaten to tutankhamun further supports this idea.
Tutankhamen's tomb was not grand. In fact it was likely not even his intended tomb. All of the signs point to someone else's tomb being rapidly converted for use to accommodate his death which appears to have been a result of some accident. Meanwhile after he died his predecessor - Ay - who was not even of royal blood created for himself one of the nicer tombs in the Valley. That tomb might have originally been Tut's. Egyptian pharaohs had a bad habit of appropriating from their predecessors to take credit for themselves. After Ay the pharaoh Horemheb performed damnatio memoriae on Tutankhamen to "erase" him. Later Ramses II further desecrated the temples of Tutankhamen and his father Akhenaton. Ramses II was bad about that. He did the same to his father Seti I.
@@varyolla435 I didn't mean to say tomb, my mistake, I really meant to say his solid gold sarcaphogus
No biggie. Actually the fact that he was erased by his successors is what saved him. As a relatively minor pharaoh who was removed from the roles as it were = there was then little evidence to point to his existence. Had it been otherwise his tomb like most royal tombs would have been plundered long ago. Actually there was evidence of the tomb being broken into. A small area of the plaster wall separating the sarcophagus room from the treasury room was noted by Carter to have been repaired. So someone broke - probably soon after burial - in but was apparently caught and the tomb was resealed. That or else a later pharaoh appropriated some of his wealth.
Fascinating.
Interesting tutankhamon character. Grate wideo.
Why was King Tut’s tomb prepares in such a rush?. That’s the question we should be asking
He was 19 when he died. He was young and died suddenly. no one expected him to die so young. so his tomb might have had to been made in a hurry.
M. A. Engl
Uhhhh no
@Salma S read the comment section, properly, u will find plenty of answers, tbh
A better question is, what else (other than a rushed job) could the evidence mean?
Could it be that the archaeologists expected and wanted to have found a larger tomb to satisfy their misunderstandings ?
Nobody rushed that tomb or burial.
No big mystery here; Tut died unexpectedly, while still young. So, "time was of the essence" indeed.
I am so very interested to know more about egypt ancient histories
so mind blowing
I wonder if they carved this all years earlier because it's practically impossible for them to carve THIS much stuff just after the pharaoh's death.
There were no carvings in the tomb, just paintings.
Is it just me or does every scientist pronounce his name different? lol

I know that finding the tombs in the Valley Of King’s is a huge part of history and all and it does really fascinate me but I don’t see how any of it’s legal.
Imagine someone going into a graveyard and starting to dig up peoples coffins. People most certainly would not allow it so I don’t get why it’s ok for these people to do it to the Egyptians?
One word "MONEY"
amazing
I always felt bad for Tutankhamun, his wife died giving birth to 2 daughters, both stillborn. He was also suffering from (some scientists believe) a bone infection and the death of his wife and children weakened him.

I hear it said that no mummy has ever been buried or found in any pyramid?
Well, only 1, out of 100+ pyramids. All pyramids have a tomb in them(under them), and most have funerary texts, and burial artifacts in these tombs, but the tombs may not have been ever intended to be used for actual burial. Many kings built numerous false tombs to keep their actual tombs hidden(It didn't work), so the pyramids may have been built to be more symbolic of the king's tomb, but unbenownst to the public, the king would be buried elsewhere.
Pyramids always included a huge complex of temples, monuments, and other tombs surrounding them. People would come honor or worship the dead pharoah believing him to be entombed in or under the pyramid.
Alot of secret rooms are still unkown
I was never interested in Egypt until the dream s that placed me in the tombs and the Queen that is resurrected in front of my present s with blue stars.

Do you know what hides?
The British were the one known as grave robbers. They are busy excavating Egyptian's Kings tomb Therefore it is not wrong fir us to go to England and begin excavating their royal tombs.
Is there a license issue for that purposes ?
I think, maybe you need to study more before saying anything. It just shows how ignorant you are.
It's fascinating all the history we are only uncovering now in the
modern era. Who would have believed such things existed. I mean people
even though Moses and the Exodus was fable till the massive discovery of
dozens of sites of the Exodus around a decade ago. It's crazy even
after all this time we are still finding all this stuff in the middle
east.

It seems to me that the literature engraved on this thumb walls in these ancient monuments. Seems to be imagery that the ancient people use to be hybrids. Lol
It was probably rushed because he died so young, and they needed to finish it in time for his burial
Nothing about the burial or the tomb was rushed. And, it was not robbed. The assessments are mistaken.
Why rush? Where was his mummified corpse going?
It was not going to rot. So. The rushed job Hypothesis makes no sense.

Who is here watching this video after reading the chapter of class 11 in Hornbill
I assume the tomb wasn’t original for him!!! But who was it for 🤷🏽♀️😮😳
Some royal or high court official most likely. There are more than pharaohs buried in the Valley of the Kings or Queens for that matter. There were also a number of lesser tombs found there which were no where near as expansive or ornate as the royal ones. We see the same thing among the other necropolises by the way. The Giza complex contains large cemeteries for important court people as well as people such as work supervisors etc.. So the evidence points to Tut dying from some accident. As such his tomb was probably not ready and some other tomb was pressed into service to fit the timeframe as a pharaoh was buried within 60-70 days after death.
royal clark
I’ve read some intriguing ideas that the tomb scandal was caused by a man named “Ay” who was a highly ranked Egyptian offical & one of Tutankhamen’s advisors. He also managed to swindle himself into being the next pharaoh.
Egypt drama is fascinating!
I’m learning about his tomb
salute to sir who studied this for 40 years
And I don't agree with archeology because all it is is legalized grave robbery... I mean Egypt wasnt known as Egypt while these kings and queens were alive so what right does Egypt have to say is ok to dig into the grave and take everything out and use it for financial game and too enrich their coffers...technically they are doing what every grave robber does , go into someone elses grave and take someone elses belongings for personal or financial game but somehow would be illegal if I did it to a grave but is ok if the Egyptian government says is ok because their might be something they want in there
Hello mom, stop doing those things that kids will hate
You do know European countries control alot of egytian antiquities.... This is why this is allowed and kinda favored .... Lol
Kemet not egpyt
So because you believe Ancient Egypt wasn't known as "Egypt," studying Egyptian history through archeology is wrong? Archeology is going on in every country around the world. It has become a science.
And anyways, that's only true in the sense that "Egypt" is just what English speakers call it. What do you think modern Egyptians call it? Egypt? no. They call it Misr, or Misri(from Mizraim, the legendary founder of Egypt).
What did ancient Egyptians call it, and where do we get the word "Egypt"?
The Romans called it *Aegyptus*. It was a Roman Province for almost 700 years. "Aegyptus", of course, comes from the Greek *"Aegyptios"* (Αίγυπτος) which comes from the Mycenean Greek *"ai-ku-pi-ti-jo,"* which comes from the Egyptian *"Hwt-ku-ptah"*(House/Temple of the soul of Ptah) The ancient name of Memphis, which later came to be used of all Egypt, or rather, the Kingdom that ruled there. This name is believed to go all the way back to Narmer, and lasted through the dynastic periods.
Richard Grace yeah, that’s why tut has cursed anyone to interrupt his rest or anyone to enter his tomb >:)

Kent Weeks - a genuine man. And although I don't feel the Great Pyramid was a tomb, I do feel they copied it later for tombs.
I suppose the tomb's design had to be rushed because he died at a young age.
Probably because they took years to do and he died as a child
