Chapter 3 – Discovering
Tut: The Saga Continues (A.R. Williams)
Theme
This lesson explores the life of
Tutankhamun, an Egyptian pharaoh who served as the final ruler of a renowned
dynasty. This dynasty, known for its conquests, opulent lifestyle, and
transformative initiatives, left a lasting impact on the rich civilization of
ancient Egypt. Following their demise, these rulers were laid to rest in
pyramids.
Believing that the deceased would
require daily essentials in the afterlife, Tutankhamun's burial included not
only necessities but also a wealth of treasures. His body, placed on a golden
bed, was adorned with precious necklaces, collars, bracelets, rings, and more.
The coffin itself was crafted from gold, and over time, the mummy became fused
to the gold, necessitating careful chiseling by scientists to separate the body
for further investigation.
King Tutankhamun, as the last
successor of a mighty dynasty that had governed Egypt for centuries, met an
untimely demise at the age of 18. Since the unearthing of his tomb in 1922, the
world has been intrigued by speculations about him. Tutankhamun's mummy
underwent a groundbreaking CT scan, providing fresh insights into his life and death.
Being among the first to undergo such a scan, even in death, he retained a
regal status ahead of his contemporaries.
