I don't think Tut murdered himself...the timing seemed so odd. I mean, he's finally old enough to rule for himself, and here he suddenly dies. What? Suicide? Right when he can get back at the people he doesn't like,; and have true power? I don't think so. I imagine that Horemheb, having experience in strategy (him being a general) going over and getting rid of Tut, so no little children will come up, and then twiddling his thumbs waiting for Aye to croak.

Well, although this suicide theory might not be true, maybe I'll use it in a short story -- a boy, who has grown up believing in a god then forced to worship another... wanting to turn back to the god he has known since childhood but facing the possibility that he might ruin his country if does that... enough to drive someone to suicide, isn't it?

hey, this was my 100th post! try to stop me when I begin to talk about Egypt...

I think he was murdered because some other high rulers didn't think he could handel the jobof pharaoh
