If King Tut died at 99 and King Eros died at 1
King Eros was born in 39 BC since he died in 40 BC
King Tut died 120 years after 39 BC, i.e. 79 AD
then King Tut was born in 20 BC
..
hmm interesting puzzle, we can give any combination for the age of the two kings to add upto 100 and we still end up with 20 BC as the birth date. Dont understand the explanation though..
