QuoteThe Egyptian 'boy king' Tutankhamun may well have died of malaria after the disease ravaged a body crippled by a rare bone disorder, experts say.
I saw this on the news tonight, I can't believe that after all this mystery surrounding his death it would turn out to be a disease like malaria that killed him! I'm quite disappointed, I'd always satisfied myself he'd died from his wounds in battle with the nubians ![]()
I guess it's not 100% that this was the way he met his maker but it would certainly explain some of the things found on him in the Valley Of The Kings...
