Gold face
Found enclosed in four tombs, sealed into 3 golden sarcophagi…
… he was the last of his family.
Son of an incest between his father Amenhotep IV and one of his sister. His half-sister wife, Ankhesenamun, couldn’t escape two consecutive stillbirths.
He died of malaria and genetic diseases.
His mummy rotted and didn’t survive his time. His name was Tutankhamun.

Into the wild
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately […]
to front only the essential facts of life, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived […]
I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear […]
I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life […]
to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms…
(Walden, Henry David Thoreau)
