“i would like to explore the tomb and the story of ay, the egyptian pharaoh who somewhat followed king tut.
“recently we heard that zahi hawass has discovered that tut was not murdered but died of measles. the traditional story is that ay murdered the boy king for his own selfish purposes.”
Tutankhamun's death at the age of 18 or 19, together with his failure to produce an heir, left a power vacuum that his Grand Vizier Ay was quick to fill. The grounds on which Ay based his successful claim to power are not entirely clear.
More Info: AY -- WIKIPEDIA
