# Harrison’s 1968 x-rays and later press dogmas circulate rival ‘murder’ and ‘chariot’ causes of death

Date: 1968

## The fact

From R. G. Harrison’s 1968 radiographs onward, public medicine-as-mystery captions offered blow-to-the-head, chariot crash, and later malaria/bone disease as closed answers. The dated lead instrument is that 1968 x-ray publication cluster as later retold. Medical dogma-by-press crowds out cautious pathology.

## Context

JAMA 2010 revised earlier murder stories. That revision is knowledge.

[Tutankhamun](/people/tutankhamun) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official archive, museum, or agency page and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: Britannica — Tutankhamun (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Tutankhamun; Encyclopaedia Britannica).

## Significance

Printed rival death-dogmas are a clinical-caption harm, not an autopsy with chain of custody from 1320s BCE.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, and museums are not converted into extra lifetime acts. The attached driver is infectious-disease-transmission. The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself. Confidence is stated on the impact path. A later English edition is not a recovered autograph. If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.
