1. He died at the age of 20.
2.He might have been murdered in his sleep, an infection in his leg, lung cancer, or a brain tumor.
3. I think that he might have died by Aye, because he took throne when he died, and married King Tut's wife.
1. he died at the age of 17. Many also say that he died at the age of 18. And some even say at the age of 20! but I think that 17 is right.
2. I learned that many people have many theroys, but they all agree that it was from some sort of concusion on the back of his head.
3. I think that he was murdered by Ay (his royal vizer) by geting hit on the head. My reasons are beacause king tut, being young at first, was easly monipulated by Ay, but around the time he died, he was geting old enough so that Ay had no more controle over him. And beacause his (king tut's) cildren where dead, there was no air to the throne, if tut was dead Ay would be pharough! Ay had all the reason to do it.

1.King Tut died when he was 18 years old.
2.Scientist think that maybe he had a blood clot in the back of his head or that he couldnt turn his neck easily so that it would be easy toattack him from behind.
3.I think that Aye did it because he really wanted to be pharoh and he couldnt. he thought that he was already running the country because he was giving all of his good ideas to king Tut. So he figured that all he has to do is to kill king Tut and to marry the Queen (king Tuts wife) and he could be pharoh just like that.But I think also about the blood clot that he couldnt move his neck good that it would of been really easy to attack him from behind and that wouldnt of helped his dealth.

1. tut died about 18
2. I think aye murdered tut because he wanted to be king. Once tut turned 18 aye couldnt control him so he murdered him.
3. I think aye murdered tut. I believe he took some heavy object and wacked his head with it. I belive this because when tut turned 18 he could rule by himself without aye's help. So aye murdered hime so he could rule as the official pharoah.
Coleman #22
1.King Tut was 20 years old.
2.King Tut was possibly murdered in his sleep.
3.I believe Tut was stabbed in his sleep at the bottom of the head.Scientists believe it was Aye, his viesere who became pharoh because Tuts kids died. SO Aye would become pharoh. Aye only ruled only 4 years before he died

1. King Tut was 11 years when he becam king and i beleive that he died by the age of 18 or 19.
2. He may have been murdered by his advisor Aye or he could have suffered from an infection in a broken leg. But no one knows for sure.
3. I beleive that King Tut was murdered. and i beleive that beause in books and websites they say more about that then anything else. When i researched it said Aye did it and i think its true. I beleive this beause in books and websites they say more about that then anything else.

2.That they new he got merdered but don't now why or who
3.I think that he was merdered because they found a cuncashion in his head and he might of bean a lousy king
Michalea Serrioz #18
1. He died at a young age of 20.
2. Some people say that he was snuck up on from behind and it caused a blow to the back of his head. It probably took 2 months before his death.
3. I would think that his uncle could have killed him. He would because he wanted the throne so badly and after King Tut died, I think it was weird to marry Tut's wife just to get the throne.
Caiti Crooks #7

Ona #1
1. He died about the age 18.
2.I learned that no one knows how King Tut died. It might have been Ay who killed King Tut.
3. I believe that Ay might have been the one who killed King Tut.I believe this because of the mark found in the back of his head. Some people in Egypt along time ago where I guess anxious to win the throne. King Tut might have not had good health so he could have been an easy target to murder.
Taylor claybon #5
1. answers have been any where from 17-21 yrs.
2. Damage to his skull prbably mean he was hit in the back of the head.
3. Since someone hit him he was murdered. The person had to have a motive. I believe Aye or Horenhab killed him to get his power.
Michelle Keokhiokham #13
1.he died at the age of 18
2.I learned that nobody knows how he died and that theres lots of ways people thought he died
3.I believe his uncle Ay killed him. Because Ay knew that when king Tut got older he will have more power to Egypt. Ay thought if king Tut got to involed Ay would loose all of his power.
1.King Tut had died at the age of twenty.
2.No one really nows how King Tut had died, people say he died by an infection in his leg some others say he got killed by aye.
3.I think he got killed be Aye and his wife got killed by Aye to.

Tori Shephard #22
1.He was twenty years old when he died.
2. I learned that he most likley died from major damage to the head.
3.I believe that he was murdered by Ay. The reason I believe that is I think that Ay was jealous and angry that King Tut was pharoah and Ay wasnt. So I believe that he killed King Tut so that he could become pharoah and everyone would worship him instead of Tut.

2 he ruled when he was 11 to 20 (11 years)
3i think that his ay or his uclen because his uclen was a advisor. or ay could have because he forsed tuts wife. I mostly think that his uncle did because he was not the pharo so that would be why his ucle killed him. ay did probly becaus he did something for tuts dad:)

Haylee Burk #5
1)King Tut was twenty years old when he died.
2)I learned that his death was a mystery. He might have been killed by ay because his skull revealed a blood clot and breaks in the thin bones above his eyes.
3)I believe he was murdered by ay because he wanted the throne and he had a blood clot and broken bones above his eyes. He also had a wound in his skull so bad that it could have killed the king so that really made me think he was murdered.
I think he sufford from a brain tumer and his head was injured after his death.
1.He died when he was twenty years old.
2.There is a dent in the back of his head that looks like someone hit him in the head.
3. I think that he was murdered by Aye. I believe that becuaseit looks like someone hit him in the head.Also because he died at a young age, and his wife died "mysteriuosly" too.
Weston Lammers #13
1)He was 18 when he died.
2)he had a blood clot in his head wich could of been from a voilent hit in his head.
3)i think it was not ay who killed him.I think it has not a person that killed him.I think he was killed by a fall from down a flight of stairs. that is how i think king tut was killed. If it is right no one knows.
Shelby Burke #4
1.King Tut was 18 when he died.
2. I learned that he was murdered, blood clot, or infection of a broken leg.
3. I think that king Tut had a blood clot and breaks in a thin bone in his neck. But since we had a broken neck he could of been murdered because couldn't move his neck so someone could have easily snuck up on him. I think Aye and Horernhab(army officer who later came king) were both in on it.
Addison Bechard #2
1. He was 20 when he died.
2. I learned that he had a big blow in his head. I also learned that he didn't have a really big tomb.
3. I think the Ay killed King Tut. I think that because he was his adviser and he was with him all the time. I also belive that becuase after King Tut died Ay became Pharoah. Also after King Tut died Ay married his wife and then later killed King Tuts wife. So i belive that Ay killed King Tut.

Madison Reed #20
1. How old was king Tut when he died? Well king tut died at the very early age of 20.
2.What did i learn about how king tut died? Well i learned that Tut might of had a medical condition that would not allow him to turn his head without moving his torso. Making it very easy to sneak up on the young king.
3. from analizing the evidence what do you think happened to king tut. I Believe it was murder. Becouse tut had no airs so Ay would become pharoh if he married tuts wife.So he had the motive. And it has been said that tuts wife didnt want to marry a servant such as Ay so she had a son of the king Hitties for a husband. But the son was murdered before arriving. So Ay has the motive. So do you think he did it?
C.J. Dowell #7
1.King Tut died at the age of 20.
2. I learned that king tut is one of the most famous kings today.
3. I believe that ay killed the young king tut. Some people think that his wife was a suspect but if she was killed later in the same way. That's why I believe ay killed king tut.
Wally Nellor #18
1. He died at the age of 20.
2. Some say he was murdered while say he suffered from a blow in the back of his head, others say he died from an infection from a broken leg.
3. I think was murdered by Aye. My reasons are maybe Aye was jelious. Or maybe he thought a boy shouldn't be king. He also became king after Tut was murdered.
destinee howell
1. he was 20 when he died
2. people say he was snuck up from behind and stabed.
3. i think that aye was the one that killed him. only because aye probly hated king tut because he was the ruler and he was jelous.
Tim Mitchell #17
1. He was only 20 years old when he died.
2. That he was in an argument and he was assaulted and was in a clinching argument that may of caused a blood clot.
3. I think that King Tut was in a clinching argument and was not murder witch caused a blood clot that I think Ay had caused. I think he had causedit because he probaly wanted to become the new pharoah and to get King Tut out of there. I believe this because King Tut was the most famous pharoah and I think thats why Ay had started the argument in the first place.
1. King Tut. died when he was 20 years old.
2. He died by a wound from a heavy object hitting his head.
3. I believe King Tut died because Ay killed him. I believe this because Ay was the only one that had access to King Tut's room. After King Tut died, his wife was forced to marry Ay. She mysteriously died of the same cause shortly after she married Ay. Ay probbably did this because he figured that since King Tut had no sons to take the throne he would be next in line as pharaoh. It would be easy to sneek up on him because to to the x-ray taht have ben taken he had a neck problem so he couldn't move his head.
1. king tut was 20 years old when he died.
2. I learned that when you hit people in the back of the head while they are sleeping they could die.
3. I believe that aye was the one who killed king tut while he was sleeping. cause he wanted to be king so he had to get rid of all of the kings and qeens so he would become king.
tabithasmith #24

dakota smith #23
1)King tut was 20 when he died.
2) He could have died form a blood clot or a blow from the back of his back.
3) I think Ay killed him a rock or something heavy. Ay could have killed him to be king.
Frankie Whittaker#26
swafford
1)king Tut was 19-22
2) He has a wound in his skull
3)I think he got murderd by that greedy no good Ay becuse he wanted to be pharo.
1.18 years old
2.I learned that he got hit in the head and elderly chief advisor killed him and died from an infected leg. So I don't no who did it so nobody knows.
3.I believe that Ay killed King Tut because AY was the only one that could access the room at that time. And the elderly chief was older and slow.infected leg seems resonabal but not really.
