    1. The article links to the main page of the department of medicine at Cairo University, but does not cite any actual sources.
    2. The cause of death is claimed to be Malaria.
    3. The article is two weeks old.
    4. The site publishing it is not in Egypt.
    5. I could not find any reference to either malaria or tutankhamun on the linked website.

    Seems to me that a grain of salt should be applied when considering its content.

        It’s a day older, still no external references and still not from either Egyptian or German sources.

About

Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.

Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.

The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more…

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Be kind and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. No pseudoscience/pseudoarchaeology.
