well i'll tell you all I know- and that's a lot. I personally think that aye was the most likely to murder tut, as he was jealous of his power and he was growing old. tut was only nineteen when he was murdered. yeah, someone hit him hard in the back of the head with something, which would have been easy since he had been born with a condition that made it so that he could only turn to look somewhere if he twisted his waist around. He couldn't turn his head. I personally think also that, if you're doing a report on him, that you should have some info on what he was like before someone killed him. lots of people say that he was the son-in-law of Akhenaten, but I think it was more like he was his son and his mother was kiya, who disappears from texts around the 12th year of akhenaten's reign. I think she was murdered also. But, you say, why would someone want to murder kiya? well, from the few artifacts that were found showing her, she was very pretty, and, well, she was Akhenaten's Greatly Beloved- the one wife he had that he was actually in love with. Nefertiti, his main wife, got jealous of how much attention Kiya was getting (remember, this is only my theory {I also think that this was because Nefertiti had given birth to all daughters and Kiya finally brought forth Akhenaten's first son} you don't have to believe everything I'm saying), and she did away with her. Ancient remnants of blood splatters were found in the pond and on the floor in the courtyard near what was believed to be Kiya's suites that suggests that this was the place of her murder. However, her remnants have not been found. Another thing that suggests she was murdered is that there was a tomb being readied for her- but her name was crossed out- around the 12th year of Akhenaten's reign- and the name of one of his daughters, Ankhesenpaaten, was put over it. However, in this tomb, pictures of her remain. Most think she was of Mitanni heritage, but these tomb reliefs show that she had physical features that suggest she was Egyptian. Hope all of this helps!
