Who Was To Blame For Tey's Death

Decent Essays
Have you ever took time to think about what happen to to King Tut? To think of how he died at such a young age. I think he was killed by Aye, his army general. Aye could have killed him to get the throne, to be the Pharaoh of Egypt. That would be because he ended up married to Anka so he could become king.

I also think that Aye and Tey, his first wife teamed up so they could rule together. That would be because after Anka was missing, Tey became queen with Aye. Another reason is that Anka was missing which shows that could have killed her so she could rule with Aye, her husband. Also, it shows in Aye’s tomb that Tey was the ‘‘great wife’’, which shows that they wanted to rule together. This is why i think that Tey and Aye teamed to rule together.

He might have not liken the ways King Tut ruled Egypt, so he killed him to have it his way. It could have been the way King Tut treated them, that Aye wanted to change those rules because they seemed unfair. Also, he might have wanted to be at the highest rank or the Pharaoh to tell the people what they’re told instead of being told what to do. He might have wanted to be in charge of all of Egypt. That is why i think that Aye killed him also to have Egypt the way he wanted it.

I think that Aye killed King Tut to force Anka to marry him, then made Anka write the letter to the Hittites so she went there to be married to the Hittite prince. Then he ended up having Tey as queen which shows they had to get rid of Anka to continue their plan. Then Tey does become queen which shows that their plan was a success. Some people believe that he died in a hunting accident. That could not be true because the broken leg and the blood clot had to be a person who intended to hurt

    There were many pharaohs of Egypt including, Tut, Zozer, and Khufu, but there are some that need to be recognized. The first one is a pharaoh named Menes who brang Egypt together, then there was Hatshepsut who expanded borders and sent out explorers to trade with others, and finally there was Akhenaten who changed art and religion in egypt and may have started monotheism. If we didn’t have these pharaohs the world would be a much different place now because Egypt might not have been what it is today. We learn about many pharaohs in history in school, but these pharaohs were the most important. These Kings and Queen were staples of Egypt’s economy then and now.…

    Despite what many think, the pharaohs of ancient Egypt did not succeed each other as an unbroken, patrilineal chain by any means. By the Eighteenth Dynasty, the state of kingship had recovered is authority from the Asiatic ruling of the Second Intermediate Period. Hatshepsut, one of the most well-known female kings of Egypt, is a clear outlier to what one would expect from a typical pharaoh. Her story, in summary, involves her gaining control over administration after King Thutmose II, her husband and step-brother, dies, and using that as a stepping stone to claim solitary kingship rather than continuing a life of co-regency – meaning, shared kingship – with Thutmose III, the originally intended male heir and her step-son. This essay will analyze…

    While no evidence exists demonstrating that Sinuhe from The Story of Sinuhe is an actual person and while The Tale of the Eloquent Peasant is clearly fiction, both works of Egyptian literature are rooted in some form of historical fact in that they were likely written by Egyptian elite and, therefore, they can give us important insights into Egyptian social life, how Egyptians viewed their society and the greater world, and how different classes in Egypt might have interacted. Namely, both pieces serve as obvious propaganda pieces for the Egyptian pharaoh –highlighting the relationship between the king and the lower tiers of society and setting up defined traits for how the pharaoh was supposed to be perceived in Egyptian society. However,…

They were known for their warfare methods, which were extremely unique at the time because they rode on horseback and completely destroyed every surrounding civilization they went into war with.

He served as a co-regent by my side for two years, until, eventually, I died in 1350…
