In the long river of history, there is such an ancient country along the Nile, which lasts for 3000 years. Its name is ancient Egypt. Yes, it is an ancient country known as the Four Civilizations like our great China. It has been eroded by sandstorms for thousands of years, leaving the world with civilized things. In this ancient land, the Egyptian people have carved a figure for thousands of years, probably because this person witnessed the development history of ancient Egyptian history and civilization. He is Tutankhamun. And he has an obvious feature, that is, baldness. Seeing this, the reader will ask, why is he bald Next, let's discuss why he is bald.
Tutakamon
On the one hand, perhaps this is a national custom, such as our great China, which has extended a custom from a long history to the present. The ancient Egyptians had the habit of balding. In fact, Tutankhamun is not the only one who is bald. In fact, many ancient Egyptians were bald. According to historical records, even foreigners who violated them were defeated by them, taken as prisoners, and even their hair was pulled out. It's really unimaginable and terrible. They think that hair has an effect on the skull. No wonder the Egyptians are so clever. On the other hand, they believe in the religion of God and make sacrifices every year. They think it is disrespectful to sacrifice with hair, and the gods will punish them. Having said that, everyone can understand why he is bald.
Is it because of baldness that a mosquito killed her? Is that so? Speaking of mosquitoes, mosquitoes can be seen everywhere in our lives now. I wonder how many people worry about it every summer. It disappears every winter and flies back from nowhere in summer. Mosquitoes are familiar and mysterious to us. Speaking of mosquitoes, who knows how long she has lived in this world? But according to archaeological findings, thousands of years ago, a mosquito actually killed the Egyptian Pharaoh at that time. What mysterious power does this mosquito have? Let's have a look.
Tutakamon tomb
The discovery of this mosquito originated from Egyptian archaeology and was found in a tomb in the Valley of the Kings. This tomb is the famous Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Tutankhamun is the most famous Pharaoh in the world, but his fame is not because of his outstanding political achievements, but because he was only 19 years old when he died. He is famous at home and abroad for his mausoleum, attracting many archaeologists. When it comes to Egypt, we all know that the most famous are the Sphinx, Pharaoh, murals and mummies. These are all representatives of Egyptian ghost culture. After the death of Pharaoh, an enlarged and magnificent tomb was built, and some resin was used to preserve the bodies of Pharaoh, his queen and children. This seems to be very similar to the burial of the emperor during the feudal dynasty in China. Natural Tutankhamun, as an Egyptian Pharaoh, will be dealt with after his death. A huge group of ancient tombs was found along the Nile, so people later called it the Valley of the Kings. Among them, the tomb of Tutankhamun, the youngest Pharaoh in Egypt, was found, namely KV62 tomb.
Tutankhamun gold mask
Tutankhamun's mausoleum is extremely luxurious, and the most famous in the world is a gold mask made of pure gold and inlaid with various jewels. The excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb yielded 1700 precious cultural relics, the most exquisite of which was Tutankhamun's golden coffin. The whole golden coffin has three layers: outer, middle and inner. The outer coffin and the middle coffin are made of wood and covered with gold nuggets, which are 2.24 meters and 2.03 meters long respectively. The inner coffin is made of gold, with a length of 1.87m, a thickness of 2.5-3.5mm and a weight of 12. Kg, the coffin is made into a human figure, carved with gorgeous and exquisite patterns, and inlaid with precious stones such as glass, jasper and turquoise. In the coffin, there is a A Jin mask, which covers the head and shoulders of Tutankhamun's mummy and is decorated with colored glasses and necklaces. The mask is made of gold, which is a true portrayal of the appearance of the young Pharaoh.
Archaeologists gave Tutankhamun a CT scan.
Archaeological findings show that Tutankhamun's death is worth pondering, because in CT scanning, his skull was found to have been severely damaged, and it is speculated that someone attacked him from behind. Archaeologists also found that the bone fracture in the knee part of his left leg was probably caused by falling from a height at that time. Moreover, archery and other patterns were found in his gentle murals, which showed that he could shoot arrows on horseback and fight for his country. However, archaeological findings show that the young Pharaoh did not die of skull and leg injuries. According to the test, Tutankhamun lived for at least six months after being injured, which shows that his real death was not caused by trauma. With the in-depth analysis of archaeologists, it is found that mosquitoes carry malaria virus in his body, and there are more than one virus plant. It can be inferred that he may have been infected with malaria many times in his life, including the deadly tropical malaria that can now ravage Africa. It is speculated that malaria probably weakened Tutankhamun's immune ability. His leg injury was very serious before, because the bones did not heal and the bone tissue began to die, which probably made the young Tutankhamun weaker, more susceptible to infection and eventually died of a severe malaria attack.
A mosquito finally took the life of a young emperor with its powerful power. Now that archaeology is still advancing, our guess needs further verification. We expect archaeologists to bring us more information about Tutankhamun.
