The next mysterious thing about Pharaoh Tutankhamun is that he is the only Egyptian pharaoh without a heart when embalmed. This mystery has been solved by experts after a long period of research. Accordingly, the accident of falling and breaking his leg caused Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s heart to be seriously damaged and irreversible, so embalming could not be carried out.

Not stopping there, Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s penis was also mysteriously tilted at a 90-degree angle compared to his body. This is the only mummy ever found to have a penis in a strange and mysterious position like this. According to a study, this anomaly is intentional. Accordingly, the embalmers did so to make King Tutankhamun look as much like Osiris – the god of the underworld, as possible.
