He died.

We do not know why.

Illness is the most likely explanation, given his age and the statistical realities of child mortality in the ancient world, but we do not know.

The people who survived him prepared his burial with extraordinary care.

They dressed him in clothing decorated with 120 bone beads.

They placed an ivory tiara on his head.

They put a carved bird beside him.

They added pendants and plaques and stone tools.
