I was talking with my sister, the volcanologist who loves all things Egyptian. Anyway, she noticed something about the 'Younger Lady' that is worth considering.
The YL apparently sustained a serious injury right before her death--a kick in the face by a horse, plus some other injuries.
Tut was killed by gangrene setting into a wound probably sustained in a fall from a chariot.
See the connection?
Is it possible that the YL is Ankhesenamun, and that they were both the victims of a bad accident?
We've been around horses a long time ( my family has raised Tennessee Walkers for years) and have seen our share of wrecks. The worst ones involve somthing beyond just the horse--things like rocks, trees and carriages. Egyptian chariots were exceptionally lightweight. Hitting a rock or bump at speed could easily cause it to flip, or an unwary passenger could bounce over the front end and under the now-frightened horses' hooves.
Falling out in a row of chariots could also be serious--they are manueverable, yes, but unless both horses try to avoid something, a person on the ground could easily be trampled.
Jumping out of a moving chariot to help an injured person could also be bad--stepping wrong could mean the kind of fractures seen on Tut. He could also have gotten them falling out or being dragged.
I know we usually think Ankhesenamun outlived him. But do we have any real proof of this?
