Answer:

D. That the reader has the background knowledge to understand the allusion

Explanation:

If there is an allusion to Venus the goddess of beauty, the counterpart of Aphrodite(Greek Mythology), someone who does not have any background knowledge about Roman mythology or mythology in general would assume the writer is referring to Venus, the planet rather than the goddess.

In order to understand an allusion as used by a writer, the reader must have adequate knowledge as this was expected of the reader by the writer.

Create a well-crafted essay of 1-2 pages outlining a likely theory of King Tutankhamun's death at the age of nineteen.
marta [7]

please mark me as brainliest and rate ,thank me please i begg you

Explanation:

The Theory of Hormheb

The king’s deputy, also known as Horemheb, may have also been responsible for the death of King Tut as well. The possibility that King Tut was getting older and probably ready to take powers into his own hands may have contributed to his early demise. For many years it was believed that Hormheb guided King Tut in his royal decisions as a child. As King Tut grew older and became more independent he started making his own decisions without the aid of Horemheb. This new thinking might have upset him and he quickly saw his power fading away. This independence that King Tut was attaining might have upset him and could been the reason as to why he killed King Tut.

Though Horemheb did not get the throne after King Tut’s death he did get it after Ay. Upon becoming the pharaoh he restored Egypt to its traditional tradition which was the worshiping of the many ancient gods. He moved his capital to Memphis and returned all the temples to their rightful priests. During his reign as pharaoh he removed any signs of Akhenaten’s religion.

By his actions, many Egyptologists and historians strongly assume that Horemheb wanted to restore Egypt to its traditional ways. Although, in hindsight, it appears that King Tut was also leaning in the direction of restoring Egypt to the more habitual ways before his death—it might not have been fast enough for Horemheb though.

 

Mohamed El-Saghir, head of Upper Egyptian Antiquities, believes that Horemheb could not have committed the murder of the pharaoh. Mohamed believes that because King Tut was restoring Egypt to its traditional ways, Horemheb would not have had any reason to kill him. He does find it interesting that Horemheb removed King Tut’s name from several items and replaced it with his. Even so, it’s still not enough evidence and most pharaohs always tried to outdo the pharaohs before them.
