The group of egyptologists has advanced an assumption, that pharaoh Tutankhamen ruled in second half of XIV centuries B.C. has died because of a trauma received after falling from a chariot during hunting, but not because of plot, as it was supposed earlier. He has got a heavy fracture of the left leg and infection of blood.
Tutankhamen as scientists assume, has fallen from a chariot during hunting in a desert. Earlier was considered, that the pharaoh-boy was a fragile child protected from physical exercises and loadings. But now scientists do an opposite conclusion: Tutankhamen lead an active life. Its hunting chariot, but not the military one, found in burial, has signs of deterioration. Hundreds of arrows found in one of pharaoh cists, also have not been put there new: they were used. Another one evidence of the fact
that Tutankhamen was the hunter and used chariots, was in the heap of his clothes: it is a special corset which should protect rider's belly from blows. There is also another indirect evidence specifying Tutankhamen's
hunting experience. A garland of flowers have been found on his mummy among which there were cornflowers and camomiles. In Egypt these plants blossom only in March and April, hence, at this time Tutankhamen have been buried.However in view of time, which was required for body mummification(approximately 70 days), it turn out, that the pharaoh was lost in December or January, and it is a heat of the hunting season.
