King Tut 'died from broken leg'

King Tutankhamun was not murdered and may have died of complications from a broken leg, say researchers who hope the pharaoh will now be left alone.[/b]

wow, that's really neat to see his face!

Are they really sure he wasn't murdered? I know I read the article but it said not all agreed with the idea that he died from a broken leg.

Poor guy, had to be a terrible way to go.

I've also watched a documentary that reconstructed one of the other Pharaoh's as well, although I don't recall who it was.

It wouldn't surprise me, I know they've done a few reconstructions of what a pharaoh or other people in history would look like.

But why did they say he died from head trauma before hand...? I'm guessing if it was a broken leg it had to be a massive infection of some kind. Poor guy.

I think they said it was a blow to the head because they found a piece of bone in his skull. But people who believe this new theory think that piece came from careless archaeologists.
