    My theory is that the whole series of events started out by Aye not liking Akhenaten because he was a heretic, and he assassinated him. Horemheb found out what Aye was doing and joined him because he was against Akhenaten. Then, Horemheb killed King Tut, but found out Aye was going to be the king. Horemheb kidnapped ankhesenamun and when Aye tried to save her, he was murdered and Tey became the queen. Horemheb married her and took credit for all of the reigns in that dynasty.…

    Although there is no correct answer, many believe that King Tutankhamen started rolling Egypt at the age of 8 or 9. Since King Tutankhamen was very young many think that King Tutankhamen didn't have a lot of control, and instead older and wiser relatives told him ho to rule. You may think that King Tutankhamen was a really popular pharaoh, but actually King Tutankhamen was very minor and many people did not know about him until the discovery of his tomb. King Tutankhamen ruled during the 18th dynasty, he was the 12th king in his dynasty, and was also the…

    But before establishing any conclusions we must note that the validity of other theories must also be tested. Some scholars contemplate that Tutankhamen death was the end result of an infection which was he incurred through the falling from his chariot (“The Death or Murder of Tutankhamun”, n.d.). It has been presumed that the young pharaoh, while on a hunting expedition, fell from his chariot, and in this accident broke his leg which later became infected and this infection in due course claimed his life (“The Death or Murder of Tutankhamun”, n.d.).

Examining Ancient Egypt’s political history specifically separating the reign of Tutankhamen and political conditions of the time, it can be interpreted that the young pharaoh had two subjects Ay and Horemheb which were…
