He was accused of corruption in several court cases. order back issues and use the historic Daily Express The archaeologist who has been in charge of Egypt’s antiquities for nearly a decade has been sacked in an overhaul of the country’s cabinet.After several days in which his status was unclear—the appointment of a successor was withdrawn, leading to reports that Hawass would return temporarily—he confirmed by e-mail that he was out.The antipathy toward Hawass in Egypt may be difficult to grasp in the West, where he is typically found on American television, fearlessly tracking down desert tombs, unearthing mummies and bringing new life to Egypt’s dusty past.

File: Zahi Hawass CAIRO – 18 April 2018: "False" information regarding King Tutankhamen’s cause of death angers famous Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass.

Young archaeologists gathered outside his headquarters February 14 to press for more jobs and better pay. We cannot for certain, but some, or all of these things might have contributed to, or been the final cause of his death“The circumstances would have been quite specific, though, he would have to have been kneeling down and struck by a chariot wheel – in other words, he was run over rather than being the person driving the chariot.“It’s now clear to me that the damage done to the mummy, which suggested he suffered some terrible accident to his torso, happened after the mummy was discovered by Howard Carter.”Dr Naunton explained how the pharaoh’s body was tampered with numerous times over the years leading to its deterioration.He added: “It wasn’t Carter though, it happened around the time of World War 2, when we know that the tomb was probably robbed and, at that time, the mummy was – and still is – in the tomb, where it was damaged.“So that leaves us with oddities like the supposed evidence of the wound on the knee, the supposed clubbed feet and this possibility that the DNA evidence showing he was suffering from malaria.“So for the last few years I’ve been saying that I think he died in a chariot, I don’t think that anymore.“We cannot for certain, but some, or all of these things might have contributed to, or been the final cause of his death.Despite this, Dr Naunton says the injury to the knee is likely to have played a central role in Tutankhamun’s death.He added: “There’s a great paper from a few years ago, where the authors reviews all of the literature and speculation about this and they give a huge long list about all these different conditions that it has been argued he was suffering from.“They conclude it was possible that he was suffering from all of them or none of them at all.“If the mummy exhibits any of the evidence you might expect to see over the cause of death, it’s the injury to the knee.“It’s still not possible for pathologists, even now, to know what the cause of death in absolutely every case.“There are inconclusive results of post-mortems and ancient mummies preserve way less evidence.”Dr Naunton says it is still not possible to pinpoint the pharaoh’s exact cause of death.He continued: “So had Tutankhamun been suffering from a blood disease, we would have no idea.“There are some cases where the injuries are so obvious that it’s possible to say, which leads us to think we should always be able to give the cause of death, but that’s not the case.“He was suffering from a knee injury, but I mean, who hasn’t cut their knee?

The fragment must have fallen from the skull after death and after mummification.
