#FOMCMeeting The Mystery of Tutankhamun
The tomb of Tutankhamun, discovered by Howard Carter in 1922, continues to fascinate the world. Unlike other royal tombs, his remained almost intact, offering an invaluable treasure of artifacts that revealed the opulence of ancient Egypt. However, his own life is an enigma. Tutankhamun ascended to the throne as a child and died mysteriously around the age of 19.
For decades, speculation about his death has persisted: murder, illness, accident? Modern investigations, including DNA analysis, have suggested several possibilities, ranging from complications from malaria and a leg fracture to a rare bone disease. The mystery endures, fueling the legend of the "boy king" and his sudden disappearance, an enigma that time has yet to fully reveal.
