Egyptian archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass said that the baby king of Egypt Tutankhamun was not killed, but so far no one has been able to determine the cause of his death.
Hawass added that Tutankhamun was suffering from "Falat Fot", in addition to malaria, and it is believed that he suffered from blood not reaching his feet. After that, he was injured in an accident from a war chariot at the time.
Hawass pointed out that they are working with modern equipment to know the truth and cause of the death of King Tutankhamun. Hawass confirmed that he is currently searching for the tomb of Nefertiti, pointing out that he does not want to rush.
He explained that he is the first Egyptian to work in the Valley of the Kings, and all those who preceded him by work in the place were foreigners.
Hawass went on saying: “There is an Egyptian team with me that includes more than a hundred workers in the East, and the same in the West.”
The archaeologist added that a British scientist examined a piece of Tutankhamun's mummy in 1978 after it was stolen. The British scientist said that "Howard Carter", the discoverer of the tomb, used tools placed in the fire to remove the golden mask. Thus parts of the mummy were burned.
Hawass stressed that the burning of the mummy did not happen in the Pharaonic era.
