The Enduring Power of King Tutankhamun:
Summary:
Actually the word pharaoh means ‘Great House’; the place where the
pharaoh lives. The ruler of ancient Egypt was called pharaoh. Pharaohs
were looked upon more than rulers. They provided an important link
between the Egyptian people and their gods. They wore a crown that had
an image of the cobra goddess. Only the pharaoh was allowed to wear it.
It was said that she would protect them by spitting flames upon their
enemies. They built great tombs for themselves so they could live well
in the after-life. Pyramids were built by pharaohs. One thing that I want
to clear is the difference between a pharaoh and a king. A pharaoh was
connected with the divine in such a way that he was virtually recognized
as a god himself, while a king was generally recognized as a mortal man
who rules over a given territory. Pharaohs were powerful monarchs of
ancient Egypt and most of them were men, but sometimes a woman
ascended the throne as a sole monarch herself.
In ancient Egypt, it was common for the kings to marry in their own
families so as to ensure their bloodlines remain pure.
Now I want to tell you about the greatest pharaoh in the world.
The most famous pharaoh of all-time is king Tutankhamun. He ascended
the throne at the tender age of eight or nine. But he died at age of 19. It
was believed that ‘the boy king’ died of an infected broken leg. But
scientist have found traces of malaria parasites in his remains. And now
it is said that the malaria may have been the cause of his death. His tomb
was discovered just one hundred year ago in 1922. The mummy of the
boy king Tutankhamun had been preserved for more than 3 thousand
years. His mummy rested in the coffin made of solid gold and weighs
approximately one hundred and ten kilos. The purpose of
mummification was to keep the body intact so it could be transported to
a spiritual after-life. The first step during mummification was the
removal of all internal parts that might decay rapidly. The brain was also
removed carefully inserting special hooked instruments up through the
nostrils. The liver, lungs, stomach and intestines were washed and
packed by applying chemical named natron which will dry them out.
The heart was not taken out of the body because it was supposed to be
the center of intelligence and feeling, and the man will need it in the
after-life. One of many other interesting things that I want to share with
you people is that when his tomb was opened, among wine, jewelry and
weapons, honey was also found that is yet edible after three thousand
long years.
