Many people think at Tutankhamon wasnt murderes at all. Because of inbreeding - he was son of Akhenaton and his sister - had he a very ill health, and before he died, he have got a femur fracture, and he had also traces of malaria.

If Tutankhamon was murdered, the murder could be royal guide, Eje (also called Aye). It could also be Horemheb, the leader of the army, or them both. Aye and Horemheb used Tutankhamon as a majoriet, and when he died (at age 19), maybe he had started to say Aye and Horemheb against, and they therefore had to kill him to keep the power. When Tutankhamon died, he had a head injury, maybe caused by a club, but it is also possibly that the injury was made after his death.

After tutankhamon died, Aye became the king. He ruled in 3 years, and then he died too. After Ayes death, Horemheb became the king. When he died, it was the end of eightteen dynasti.
