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.
@@AlexNur07 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 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.
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 😕
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
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 😬

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.
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
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
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
@@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
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!
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.
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.
@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
Did Molly with a girl that looks like the ,,king" tut reconstruction once. The thing is that I grew up with a woman that looks nearly exactly like the Nefertiti bust
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.
Man... tut was a father to his sisters children... his "daughters/nieces" is something else all together..... I have always heard about the whole "keeping the royal bloodline" safe... and all... but man... thats a ton of medical problems... and a ton of pain... and suffering... think about how young they were when they got married and how young they were when they became parents... sheesh.... its all so much...
@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
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.
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)
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 think it is wonderful and says much about the regard he had for his stillborn children.. great thoughtfulness was taken to entomb them with care.Respect.
@@NGT4LIFE Yeah they love it so much they want it to be them. I guess tuts' own painting of himself on his throne as a dark brown man doesn''t mean anything to these people. They even put it right next to their manilla version right on the thumbnail, smh. weird
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.
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
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!! ^-^
This is one of my favorite channels, love the history videos with a mix of humor. As soon as I clicked on this one I immediately wondered if you would ad lib some of Steve Martin's "King Tut" song and you did not disappoint, lol
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.
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!
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.
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 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!!!!
Between this channel and The History Guy ‘s channel, I’m having a LOT of fun with history! (The History Guy narrates quickly and with amazing enthusiasm!)
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?
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
Tutankhamen’s mother was Kiya, she died giving birth to him & his tomb is close to hers. Nefertiti was his stepmother. To inherit the ancient Egyptian throne was thru the matriarch bloodline, many pharaohs who were the grandfathers, fathers, uncles, brothers, male cousins had to marry their sisters, nieces........for the male relatives to rule Egypt.
"king tut's tomb holds a curse" or in other words "team carter discovered something or had done something to the tomb that would have been shameful if discovered so all of them either killed themselves or have been murdered so the whole thing was kept quiet"
@@makeup_treat3951 i mean that something must have happebed there that they didnt want the public to know, for that every single member of the carter team either "killed themselves" or have been murdered by people who really didnt want the information to get out
I am 9 years old and I am really interested in king Tutts history and I’m reading books about him and yeah and I know that his wife is his half sister and they all warred eye liner on their eyes and I don’t know why but his head is big but I watched this video because I’m curious about how his life was.
Great research! The only thing I disagree with is the chariot accident. This is still possible. The main reason such an accident is probable is not because of all the broken bones, but because his heart and rips on the left side are missing. Normally, the heart was the only organ that had to remain inside the body for the afterlife. But it's speculated that in this case, it was too badly damaged due to a chariot wheel that ran over him.
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.

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.

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!

This would be great! What they ate, how it was prepared and where they grew it.

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
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
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..

@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.

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
@@dafttool interesting. I’d only heard the initial find. Everything else has been drowned out by Covid news lately.

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.

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.

Who is your lord grave first question
Great research! The only thing I disagree with is the chariot accident. This is still possible. The main reason such an accident is probable is not because of all the broken bones, but because his heart and rips on the left side are missing. Normally, the heart was the only organ that had to remain inside the body for the afterlife. But it's speculated that in this case, it was too badly damaged due to a chariot wheel that ran over him.
I found him cos I found out he was a boy and I was also a kid. In a way, he’s the reason why I’m obsessed with ancient Egypt and Roman history
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.
