Imagine yourself in the head of Ankhesenamun. Think about how They felt when King Tut was murdered. Imagine yourself in the hands of Aye. Think about how Horemheb felt. King Tut died from being murdered by Aye. And They murdered Ankhesenamun.

I think king Tut got murdered by aye. I think that because right when king tut died aye married Ankhesenamun like as if he was waiting for king tut to die. But since he was so young they figured that it would take a long time for him to die so Aye decided to do it himself.

Another example of why They murdered Ankhesenamun is because when they was in het 60’s Ankhesenamun was about 11years old. So tey was jealous that her husband married a beautiful girl that was about 50 years younger than her.Another example of why they would have killed ankhesenamun would be because ankhesenamun probably got tricked into going somewhere and then they killed her.

I also think that horemheb murdered aye because he knew people thought he was to be trusted since he was an Army general. Once aye and king tut were dead he decided to go to their tombs and erase their names from the afterlife. Horemheb also took over all the work and accomplishments from the 3 kings before him. My last piece of evidence is horemheb was good friend of king tut and aye so he thought that it would be easy to betray them and have nobody think it was him.Most people would say that king tut's death was an accident. But i don not believe that, if it was an accidental wouldn’t have been so so rushed to marry ankhesenamun right when king tut died.

I think that King tut got murdered by Aye.I think that because he and ankhesenamun were the most powerful people in all of ancient egypts and very young. So they assumed that it would be easy to go after them. What is your opinion about the mysterious death of king tut and his

    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.…
