問題詳情:
For decades, archaeologists have wondered: Who or what killed the most famous boy king in history? Some experts thought that 19-year-old Tutankhamen had died in a hunting accident. Others said that he was murdered by a blow of the head.
Two years of DNA testing and CT scans may have finally solved the mystery of Tut’s death. The teen pharaoh(法老), scientists in Egypt now believe, was the victim of malaria(瘧疾) complicated by a bone disorder.
Even at his best, King Tut was no symbol of strength. “He was a weak boy who had a deformed foot and who needed a stick to walk,” researcher Carsten Pusch told National Geographic.
Shortly before Tut died, in about 1324 B.C., he may have broken his leg in a fall, the study’s authors say. Because of a weak immune system, the pharaoh’s leg couldn’t heal, and a malarial infection (感染) finished him off.
Tut was forgotten soon after his death. So why does he attract us today? In 1922, an archaeologist uncovered a group of royal tombs in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. Thieves had stolen most of the graves.
Only Tut’s was untouched. Egypt fever swept the globe as workers unloaded the dazzling treasures, hidden for more than 3,200 years, which had been meant to accompany the young pharaoh to the afterlife. In 1972, Tut’s treasures began a series of tours around the world, giving millions of people a chance to view his golden burial mask and other relics up close.
Through it all, Tut’s star will continue to burn bright, experts say. As author Jon Manchip White wrote, “The Pharaoh who in life was one of the least respected of Egypt’s kings has become in death the most famous.”
