Died expecting to live in the afterlife among the gods, but instead found himself resurrected in the 1960's as a villain on the Batman TV show.
wat
Lol!
True greatness.
Well yes and no. Remember that he was a very distinguished professor but only when he got bopped on the head did he flip into the King Tut persona.
Victor Brouno played that part perfectly.
I remember a time when I watched the History Channel for this kind of content and UA-cam for alien conspiracy theories......
😂 same
The only conspiracy about aliens is the government covering it up.
Now, it's the opposite.
Funny that all the conspiracy theories depict only the US government covering them up. Why would aliens be so interested in the US?
@@matthewdopler8997 I think that's just because it's the one we have the most information on. There are conspiracies about major events around the globe and those governments covering it up, but most in the US focus on the US ones due to the loss of trust in our government around the same time period. Though, I'm not sure we ever trusted our government that much, just less so after that whole Vietnam thing.
I remember seeing the Treasures of Tutankhamun exhibition when it came to Seattle in the 1970s... the gold didn't really impress me so much as the toy boat made of wood. Dunno why, but the idea that something wooden could survive that long seemed more amazing than all the gold and other metal items on display.
Only seen Images etc but it's the kids toys that got me.
I've seen what is in Cairo, and was most impressed by the chariot, an object of ultimate beauty.
What do you think, somekind of laquer on the wood which kept it from decaying? I hope you understand, not my first language.
You had a good eye.
Considering the circumstances surrounding his death, with his wife writing a letter to their long time enemies, the advisor who had been actually running the show becoming pharaoh, the possible assassination of a Hittite prince who was intended to marry the newly-widowed queen, and the fact that in the letter Ankhesenamun mentions "being afraid" and references the fact that she would "never marry a servant" (which if Ay did marry her later could imply that it was a forced marriage) I still believe the murder theory could be a valid one. I suppose in the end we may never know the truth.
We can't know for sure, no. But modern studies of his mummy show he likely died from malaria or some other infection. And even if he hadn't, he likely wouldn't have lived for very long due to the slew of genetic conditions he appears to have suffered from (generations of sibling and father-daughter marriages will do that to you). It's even very possible these conditions acted as underlying factors for his death; like his leg injury being unable to heal properly resulting in it developing an infection.
Personally I doubt he was murdered. He was most likely already a puppet and thus too useful to get rid of. I find it more likely his death left a dangerous power vacuum for his waning dynasty and Ankhesenamun probably wanted to secure its position by forming an alliance with the Hittites.

King TUT!!!!!!!!
Funky Tut
Reminds me of the Discovery Kids show Tutenstein, that got me into learning about ancient Egypt
Awesome
He had a good chat-up line, "Hey, ladies, come over later - but don't knock, just toot and come in"
Thank you for this video. I miss teaching history, currently on shelter and unable to teach
Francisco Buenrostro i commend teachers! Thank you for your hard work. I don’t have the patience 🤣🤣🤣 i would yoke some smart ass kid up! From a nurse to a teacher, great job lady 😘
Im actually glad, someone bornbeithbthese disabilities lived such a privileged life. God bless him.
3:19 that's one hell of a chin
And here I thought "The white flame that dances on the grave of his foes" was unnecessarily long.
I saw the death mask when it came through Chicago years ago. It was spectacular. So was the entire traveling display.
Thanks so much for continuing to post new videos. It really gives something to look forward to while stuck at home during this crisis. Much appreciated!
Could you do some more on Irish historical figures maybe? Someone like Pádraig mac Piarais, W. B. Yeats, Brian Ború, Constance Markiewicz or Grace O'Malley maybe?
Fascinating Biographies, keep up the amazing work!
I think Michael Collins would be most likely
@@mrsomething1312 that'd be a great one too! Would love to see something about one of the leaders of '16 though
Conor Pokall who dat
mr something yeeess, I would love to see Michael Collins on this
@@jonahw833 The Irish Rebels/Martyrs of the 1916 Easter Rising
Kudos on getting through all of those names, Simon. That couldn't have been easy to get through.
7:25 genuinly guffawed at the cut of Simon sounding that name out
You make the most detailed and most interesting historical videos ive seen, i have learned more from you than i have from any other source. Your videos are extremely captivating and you are educating a entire generation, and for that we thank you.
Imagine resting in peace for 3000 years, and some people brings you back from the afterlife
Next pharaoh should be Ramses II. And talk about whether or not he was really the pharaoh of the Exodus.
And if the Exodus even happened.
You could do a whole lot of videos about child rulers
Ah Man hearing you struggle through Suppiluliuma I made my day.
Are you kidding me Simon?! This is almost the best day ever, first Stone Henge & now The Boy King, how I love ancient stuff! The only way you could’ve topped this is if you posted a Business Blaze today. His mother might have been kicked in the face by a horse. She also might have been his fathers sister. I find it fascinating that we can learn as much as we have about people that live thousands of years ago. Your my favorite distraction, thank you always. The end
2:07 I feel like Mr.Simon just summoned some mummy back to life. Better get Brandon Fraser to deal with it.
Great as usual - I had read a theory the tomb had not been further looted in antiquity due to nearby construction activity of another tomb which covered it long enough for the location to be forgotten. Would be curious to hear more on this.
I love these biographics. History is awesome and I learn a lot form these videos.
The Big Boy of Egypt
Ever thought of doing Ramses II? Given that he's tied with Tutankhamun and Cleopatra as most iconic pharaoh, his story should be interesting.
Can't say I'm familiar with her, but I suppose that's an argument in that video's favour.
With you guys pa-lease do an episode on the Dalia Lama? Please and thank you.
Which one? The 14th?
@@v21829 yes
Which version? He keeps reincarnating you know ;)
Hey Simon i'm not sure if you have cause i've not seen it, but you need to do a episode about P T Barnum. but you have to make it a longer show cause it would be hard to put him in a 20 minute episode. i saw a doc about him the other day and wow did he ever live a life and got around alot for the mid-late 1800's.
however i don't agree with alot of what he did exploiting people and animals, but still amazed at everything he did.. Let me know what you think..
Thanks Simon for all your great work and different types of video's..
Cheers
Could you do a biographics on Ptolomey? The Macedonian king of Egypt, founder of a great dynasty, friend of Alexander.
Why not the whole _dynasty?!_
Do Akhenaten next, Thank you!
8:01 What happened in 1325? You just skipped to the 1800's.
Ok I didn't hear the BC
Thank you
Learned things I hadn’t heard before. I’ve studied this topic in high school and college, and have also seen plenty of videos and documentaries about king tut, so I’m impressed. (Not claiming to be an expert at all) Nice video!
For an alternate interpretation see Steve Martin's "King Tut" from an old SNL skit. Truly a funnier and much more entertaining version of the late Tut.
"Don't want no fancy funeral, just one like ol King Tut's"
You should also do a biographics on the Hittite empire since so many people have never heard of them but they were an interesting people!!!!
Next....
*Simon Whistler: From Boy King to Emperor of the Universe*
Behave clamming on a Simon like.... Freak
Damn I love history
Do Gamal Abdel Nassar next! From one Egyptian to another!
Great bio!
I’ve learned and retained more knowledge in this channel than 4 years of high school
well done love your site
R.I.P Howard Carter 1874-1939😢😢😢
"Born in Arizona, moved to Babylon, King Tut!"
I want a Biographics on Simon Whistler!
Please do a Biographics episode on Bob Dylan. Some title suggestions can be: "A Rebel with a Cause", or "The Face of an American Counter-Culture".
Tutankhamun's daughters actually died before they were born and his mother was kiya and she died in childbirth and tutankhamun was raised by a nurse and ay was also tutankhamun's grandfather's viser and his father's viser and tutankhamun was nine and half when he inherited the throne
Kiya isn’t proven to be his mother.
- What did Tutankhamen call his mother?
- Mummy
Ba dum Tish
Great videos keep making more😊😊😊👍
Great video! My first name is Tutankhamun. I was born in 1978, during the tour of the treasure. Thanks for sharing!
Discovered on my Mom’s birthday and excavation began on my brother’s birthday 😱
I think I just saw Business Blaze Simon for a second 😐 7:14
Israel "Iz" Kamakawiwoʻole next please ❤️❤️
Throughout this video, I had Window of Appearances by Philip Glass playing in my head
Simon has this spot on his glasses that I wish that I could pluck off. Just pointing this out so it will bother other people too.
How many takes did Simon do you get all those names out????
When I die, don't think I'm a nut, don't want no fancy funeral just one like Ole king tut
Really enjoyed that . 💕
I actually went to egypt 10 yearrs ago, fucken climbed a 100 meters into a pyramid (hot as f btw), and saw sveral mummies in a museum, including tutankhamun, a sight to see, seriously.
I met author and Ph.D. Egyptologist David Lorton in grad school, and remained friends with him until the end of his life. I once asked him about curses, and he explained that they were devices employed by well-off Egyptian families who could nevertheless not afford secure tombs. The most prevalent one was the infamous Egyptian Donkey Curse: “May any person who disturbs this tomb be violated by a donkey!” Talk about disappointing…
Well done
Congrats and good job.
You have to remember that Carter was just a English grave robber gold digger who tore apart the young pharaoh body to get at the gold and then stole everything out of his tomb send it all back to England

How many channels does this man have?
I felt like this british nigga was summoning ancient long lost Egyptian curses when he was pronouncing the different names of the King.
Great job killing all my childhood threats of diesis and death among my friends after a museum trip
How do you get into an Egyptian car park?
*Just toot and come in*
In Jamaica my people call me cairo also middleeast
I think it would be interesting if you could cover the life of the White Guard general Pavel Rafalovich Bermondt-Avalov. He was certainly a man worthy of our interest
You forgot he was born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia and had a condo made of stone-a.
Shite mate better luck next time
Actually the theory that he had clubbed foot and needed a crane to walk is not the only one regarding his leg anymore. Newer investigations show that the damage to his leg was probably done post-mortem.
A-knock-sue-na-moon. But anyways thank you for this please do more pharaoh videos and one on the sphyinx
Hey, your videos are awesome! You should cover the life and death if Chris Farley!
Could you please do a video about Gilgamesh?
Just think of all those artifacts that are lost due to Tomb Robbers. Or in Private hands where we can't study them.
Please do a video on any famous Aboriginal from Australia
I read that Tutankhamun's mother was named Hatshepsut, a woman who declared herself the new KING OF EGYPT.
WolfMaiden11 Not Tut’s mother. But yes, she was a trip. Think Simon has profiled her before.
@@dafttool Thank you for the clarification.
Love the video. Love everything about Ancient Egypt.
But it bothers me to no extent that people mispronounce his name. Simon even says it right when breaking it up at the beginning!
It is: Tut-Ankh-Amun. Three clear words, one of which is a god. Say it like the three words would be read.
When your name is basically a full sentence
I want Simon to say Suppiluliuma a bunch of times really fast.
Nope.... It was robbed THREE times....freakin' GRAVEROBBERS...sigh...
Stephanie Carr A guy's gotta earn a living!
I respect what you’re saying. It’s done for the good of science and with far more respect then when they just blew everything open with 🧨
lcyw20 Never heard that one. Makes sense.
@@winnifredforbes8712 yhea it was usually the top diplomats and or priests and they usually got the very guys that usually built them to do it. They can even work out if it was priests etc or someone else as the priests usually kept the mummy safe and either moved it to another tomb or left it where it was.
The other tomb robbers used to cut up the mummies to get the gold talismans etc that was bound up in the wrapping.
lcyw20 yes that is true. It was common place. They reused idols, which each tomb can have 100’s
Please do Augustus Caesar
Now when I die, don't think I'm a nut... Don't want no fancy funeral, just one like old King Tut......
Oh, please make one of Akenaton.
Biographics on Pharaoh Narmer?
It’s kinda depressing to know how badly destroyed these Kings and queens resting place was. One day history will reverse itself and those that have done the desecrating will be desecrated, while those that have been exploited and robbed will rise again. Asè
Seriously?
This is my sister profile on youtube
I swear if you shave your beard
I had to pause the vid and listen to 3000 year old trumpets being played.
how many channels do you have bro
What do you call it when two mummies fart at the same time?
A Toot In Common.
Nice!!!👉🏾💯
What a superb video. Well done!! Now this is the kind of video I EXPECT from Simon. Well researched, unbiased, and informative. Kudos to you and your team.
Simon good sir, how do ya not see the speck of white on your lense?
Lint? Glitter? Reflection?

I know, I know, my comment has nothing to do with the subject matter. Which is outstanding as always.
Interesting
We all know the most famous pharaoh next to Tut was Pharaoh Atem
He still could have stood in a chariot with a crippled leg! Idk why they say that. Of course it’s unlikely with a bad leg but he still could have been in a chariot. I don’t like them being so adamant about it.
I thought King Tut, was condemned to endure the Hom-Dai, the worst of all ancient curses. One so horrible, it had never before been bestowed.,,He was to remain sealed inside his sarcophagus, be undead for all of eternity. The Magi would never allow him to be released, for he would arise a walking disease, a plague upon mankind, an unholy flesh-eater with the strength of ages, power over the sands, and the glory of invincibility.
