I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I bet he died.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Bad limb.

He's a she. :P

(Tut's wife and sister, who seems to have invited a Hittite prince to become her new husband and be pharaoh, possibly then married Horemheb, but in general disappears from the record. Presumably she was murdered, but no one is sure.)

I hate King Tut. Basically the best preserved tomb belongs to the least importat soveraign of a dinasty that conquered large swaths of land, invented new religions etc... But everyone knows his name now and considers him something of an "enigma"... which he wasn't. He was just a moronic kid that took his father's throne, betrayed his name and religious convictions then died as a slave while the hittites were basically tearing his empire apart

Given that his father was the first pharoah to hold said religious convictions, and the apparent age at which he (Tutankhamun) took the throne, the part I have bolded is rather unfair.

The rest I pretty much agree with though.

On a related note, simply for my own sense of completeness, I really hope they one day find enough evidence to definitely answer the question of what became of Ankhesenamun (hoping I've spelt that right from memory.)

Jet: I see.

Yeah.  Not sure if you know this but Ankhesenamun  was really HOTT, but strangely resembled a Venezuelan.  :)

:lol:

Besides, even if you were serious, that's most definitely the wrong Ankhesenamun; she might perhaps be a daughter or grand-daughter though. Seti I from the film was the successor of Ramesses I who was the successor of Horemheb who was the successor of Ay who was the successor of Tutankhamun. :P

And having checked that, I realise I may be getting Ay and Horemheb mixed up when referring to Ankhesenamun. :Embarrass:
