  • What did King Tut really look like? This is the question that has fascinated archaeologists since his tomb's discovery in 1922. Today, we'll explore what we know about Tutankhamun's time as Pharaoh, his tomb and riches, and of course his maladies and what he looked like.

    0:00 Tutankhamun's Life & History
    4:50 Discovery of his Tomb
    8:50 How did King Tut die?
    12:22 What did he look like?
    13:50 Re-creations Revealed
    King Tut only reigned for 9 or 10 years, beginning at the age of 8 or 9. He likely relied heavily on his advisors. He married his half sister, and we know their entire family suffered from pretty severe inbreeding.
    Tut was found to have suffered from Malaria - in fact, more than one strain of Malaria. Before a cure was found in the 1900s, Malaria could be very fatal. He would have been really uncomfortable in his final days.
    But Tut’s actual killer was more innocuous - his body shows evidence of a sudden leg fracture, possibly from a fall. The broken bone in his left foot had festered, and alongside the malaria, proved fatal to the 19-year old. This then contradicts the story that he was helpless and crippled - he must have at least been active enough in his final days to have gotten injured.
    But then, in reliefs, Tut is sometimes shown sitting instead of standing for certain activities like Hunting. So it’s just hard to tell the severity of his conditions.
    Unfortunately, there is a lot we may never truly know about Tut - his mummy was simply too damaged and his time in history too shrouded in mystery.
    So, what do we know about how he would have looked in real life?
    We know that he stood about 5’6”, and was fairly skinny. Professor Hutan Ashrafian says that he would have had an overbite with buckteeth, and been relatively frail. We know that at the time of burial, he had a shaved head.
    Most scholars agree that the images of King Tut made by his own people, during his own lifetime, are what we should be looking towards for accuracy. Zahi Hawass thinks Tut’s burial mask is probably the best representation of him. It’s been noted that reconstructing directly from a mummy just isn’t reasonable or accurate, since mummy tissue shrinks by around 50%.
    Professor Salima Ikram told LiveScience: "I think that he looked as he was represented, except that he had more of an overbite,"
    We don’t have a ton of images of King Tut, just because of how short his reign was, but they all look remarkably consistent. I’m going to use his famous burial mask as well as the effigy of him found in the tomb as reference. This small effigy was made to represent him as a child, and it shows him emerging from a lotus flower, symbolizing regeneration.
    We don’t know the exact skin tone or eye color of Tutankhamun. It’s been noted from his genome and skeleton that he can be considered North African. Now of course in the modern day, North Africans represent a huge range of skin tones and hair textures. I’ve tried to stick closely to what the sculpture represents, a tan reddish tone. Just know this is only one possibility.

The recreation (just like a real 18 to 19 year old) looks so child-like. Thank you so much for shifting my picture of the boy-king towards a much more realistic view.

    Great recreation! It's documented that Tut and his wife really loved each other and deeply mourned the loss of their children. It's comforting, to me, to know that he wasn't a child in power used as a pawn his whole life, that he actually had a family and love. His wife was also his sister but that wasn't uncommon in ancient Egypt. She disappeared from records after his death and they have not found her mummy so it's unknown what became of her.

I still draw pictures of Akhenaten and Nefertiti and Tut and Ankhesnamun. Why is the world so fascinated by them? I think numerous factors besides his splendid tomb. I feel I knew them in another life. Akhenaten's enigmatic face has always fascinated me, even more than Nefertiti's iconic image.

    I wish there were more relicts and detailed paintings of his older sister Meritaton, the one who was originally ment to rest in the tomb where King Tutankhamun was found. Her story is so fascinating and she probably died as young as Tut… I always feel so sorry for them, even if they lived loooong time ago but they were just so young and did not really lived. So seeing your recreations of them smiling is just heartwarming! ❤️
    It would be wonderful to see a recreation of Meritaton one day and more details of her interesting story!

    I have always loved history. Watching history documentaries will always be a pleasure.
    It amazes me that so much time has passed that a lot of people have live and died.
    Then watching you put a face to the stories I have watched, read, or heard is simply breathtaking.
    People are not only brought to life, but also they are also humanized. The life they have been through are not simply stories anymore. They become a life that was live by this person.
    Thank you for the work you do!
    Keep them coming!

  • @eloquentsarcasm

    Something about your images just make him seem so much more HUMAN, perhaps it's just the motion but he comes across as a person, not just an image. Slightly odd looking, but a warmth and kindness seems to shine from his face. The kind of young man you could picture holding his beloved toy duck and remembering his childhood before the burdens of leadership engulfed him. Another outstanding recreation!

  • @homesteadgamer1257
    @homesteadgamer1257 Рік тому +5

    Truly well done. It's hard to see the face in the masks and statues and carvings, but the transition you show from the depiction on his tomb to the Photoshop image is spot on with all his features. This could really be what he looked like.

    I was fourteen when I first met King Tut, his parents and his lovely and sweet wife. Am I writing as though I actually knew these people? Well, the book that I read, and I'm sorry that I don't recall the title or the author's name, but it was so well written that this girl child felt that I knew the characters first hand. I read the book around 1964-65, and I believe it was a recent publication. And I have searched for it off and on over the decades. Still, it left such an impact on me. Earlier I had read another fictional book about Hatshepsut and the intrigue of her Court life. She became my Female Idle. It was during this time that I wanted to forget anything about school and dive into learning about Egypt. And I did learn as much as I could from the books supplied to a small town country school's library. Years later I found more books in the college library, and as I had decent jobs that had nothing to do with my love for the Ancients, I occasionally bought books and learned more. A visit to an exhibit in one of the Atlanta, Georgia's museums in the early part of this century made it possible to see portions of those items from King Tut's burial chamber. An experience I would love to relive. During that same visit, another museum had a life size display of the sandstone Chinese soldiers found buried in an ancient grave. I was so excited that weekend. I was in my early sixties, but felt the excitement of a child at Christmas. Thanks for sharing this video. I did enjoy it.

    I went to see the King Tutankhamen exhibit, in Washington, DC, back in 1977. Then, in 1982, I went to Egypt for a few weeks, & I got to see those same treasures at the museum in Cairo, plus I got to visit his tomb, in the Valley of the Kings. It was all quite amazing, but how excellent it is to see here how he may actually have looked when alive!🌹
