"It’s possible Tutankhamen’s leg injury could have been sustained in an accident."....

“Another possibility is that the leg bone was broken during the 1925 autopsy,"....

"the King could have been murdered by a blow to the head."....

“It is possible that the vertebrae could have been broken when Egyptian priests removed the brain."....


In other words, we don't have the first damn clue how any of this happened but we like to speculate.

Since we're specualting how about this.

We know that Tut was buried in a tomb prepared for some other king. So, I speculate that Tut was never the actual King but was instead the first born son of the Pharaoh of Moses time. He died on the night of passover like every other first born in Egypt.

He was buried in the tomb that was being built for his father. The father was never buried there because his body was never recovered from the Red Sea where he died chasing after Moses and the Hebrew refugees.

You want specualtion, how's that for speculation

There is a "myth" from ancient Egypt about a Pharaoh who died in a whirlpool while fighting against a god. This "myth" has been downplayed by modern muslims who want to deny that any of that ever happened.
