Today he is the most famous pharaoh of them all, yet just over a 100 years ago at the turn of the 20th Century, his identity was unknown and had been for over...
When Howard Carter with George Herbert, fifth Earl of Carnarvon, poked a candle through a tiny hole on 26 November 1922, an eerie world from over 3000 years...

Since we're on the subject of Tut, something has been puzzling me (as well as most others) is what do you think the purpose was of the calcite box with the...
I agree. Although I am not familiar with them, I believe there have also been some fairly recent discoveries in China that might merit inclusion on a short...
<<the discoveries that led to deciphering the Maya codices. >> Not sure what discoveries you are refering too. Tatiana Proskurikof (SP?) proved c.1960 that the...
<<Every item placed in that hole in the ground had a specific function wheter real or magical.>> That is a fairly good working hypothesis though perhaps a bit...
<<Aspects of it were important but it's not the greatest discovery in history>> I would definintely rank the Rosetta STone ahead of it. ALso the Terra Cotta...
<<They offer a rare and invaluable insight into the nature of Tutankhamun's life on earth … who he was, why he died etc. >> Everything you say is true but...
You know, reading your post the thing that hit me is how lucky we were that the tomb was NOT discovered 100 or even 50 years earlier. Dsicovered when It was,...
I'm not sure that I agree with vengeful ghost. If so, how do you explain why items with Thutmose III's as well as other names were also found in the tomb? I...
I think the discovery of Tut's Tomb was ONE of the most important discoveries, but not THE most important. Pompeii and Herculaneum rank right near the top as...
I have to say the Rosetta Stone was of equal or more importance. Even though the content is no thrill (lists of bales of fabric, and all)the stone itself...
I have to agree with the third option. Though I consider it to be the greatest discovery of treasure ever found, I believe the Rosetta Stone is ultimately more...
I think it also gives us clues as to what we have missed. If the tomb of a young boy king reigning after a period of economic chaos has a treasure like that...
I'm still not convinced that the other tombs would have been that much richer. Maybe a few more items scattered about, but except for his missing jewelry, Tut...
How about a discussion of whether or no he was murdered, (or, à la Shakespeare. murther'd); and, if so, by whom? There have been a few books, recently,...
The work done recently on Tut's mummy show that he died of natural causes .... he wasn't murdered.... Kat Reece In the Hall of Ma'at http://www.hallofmaat.com...
Kat, Yes he died of natural causes. Isn't that a shame. I guess conspiracy authors will have to come up with theories about how Aye tripped Tut and causing...
You reckon Tonya Harding was around then? LOL .... As active as Tut was hunting ... a fall from a chariot would not be unrealistic... especially since it...

And here's me thinking you despised theories, Katherine....
I can appreciate your viewpoint and as the broken leg analysis is such a credible cause for his death we cannot ignore it. However, it doesn't dispel the...
I can see the broken leg as being a good cover story for anyone who wanted his death to appear natural. People might not question if he seemed to die in his...
... There is a time and place for theories Danny. And theories are not bad as long as they have some sort of evidence behind them. Do you really wish to open...
