¸ÅÂå¤Î Egyptian text ¶¼¤¹s 'death by a ɵ¤ that no doctor can ¿ÇÃǤ¹¤ë' to anyone who Íð¤¹s ²¦¼¼¤Î mummified remains - but Ross Fellowes has ¼¨º¶¤¹¤ëd there was a À¸Êª³Ø¤Î ¿äÏÀ¤¹¤ë¡¿Íýͳ behind the deaths.

The ½Ï¹Í¤¹¤ë¡¿¹Íθ¤¹¤ë ·èÄꤹ¤ëd the ¸¶°ø¡Ê¤È¤Ê¤ë¡Ë was Êü¼Í¡Êǽ¡Ë ÆÇ¡ÊÌô¡Ëing from natural elements ´Þ¤à¡¿Éõ¤¸¹þ¤á¤ëing ¥¦¥é¥ó and Í­ÆÇ¤Ê waste that was deliberately put inside the Ä´°õ¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ëd ´ÝÅ·°æ.

The small size of Tutankhamun's burial µÄ²ñ, given his standing in the Egyptian history, has baffled ÀìÌç²Ès for years.

Carter and his team took 10 years to ¡Êµ¿¤¤¤ò¡ËÀ²¤é¤¹ the tomb of its treasure.

The boy king was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th ²¦Ä«, and »ÙÇÛ¤¹¤ëd between 1332 BC and 1323 BC.?

He was the son of Akhenaten and took to the ²¦°Ì at the age of nine or ten.?

When Tut became king, he married his half-sister, Ankhesenpaaten.?

He died at around the age of 18 and his ¸¶°ø¡Ê¤È¤Ê¤ë¡Ë of death is unknown.?

The scientists believe that this left him with physical impairments Ͷȯ¤¹¤ë¡¿°ú¤­µ¯¤³¤¹d by hormonal ÉԶѹÕs. And his family history could also have led to his premature death in his late teens.

But recently, scientists have ¼¨º¶¤¹¤ëd King Tut may have died of an Á곤¹¤ëd illness because only one of the breaks occurred before his death - and his club foot would have made chariot racing impossible.

Hutan Ashrafian, a lecturer in ³°²Ê at ¹Ä¼¼¤Î College London, said that several members of the family appeared to have ¶ì¤·¤àd from ɵ¤s which can be explained by hormonal ÉԶѹÕs.
