It was a mystery that still lies unresolved! Boy King Tutankhamum, the Egyptian pharaoh who during the 1300s B. C. ruled for 10 long years, had died at the age of 19. But no one ever came to know about his death. It was a murder, an accident or an illness that nobody knew about?

To find out what actually happened to him, why he died so young, a British surgeon has advertized a new theory.

Since his tomb was discovered in the year 1922, people were crazy to visit him. They attributed the cause of death to murder. Till now it was believed that the king fell from a chariot due to which his one leg got fractured and he suffered a hippopotamus attack too.

But according to Hutan Ashrafian, a surgeon at Imperial College London who is trying to end this mystery, Tut had a hereditary form of epilepsy.

After noticing some of Tut’s statues and descriptions, Ashrafian discovered that he had heavy breasts and wide hips and this simply indicates that he was suffering from such a form of epilepsy that lays an impact on the temporal lobe of a person. This kind of a change is linked with the realization of hormones in a human body.
