Deserves a rewatch
Still holds up.

Were there a lot of hippos at the time near the palaces? I’m intrigued. Was he hunting or swimming perhaps?

The hippo did not swallow him. Perhaps he was too rich animal

the hippo was part of a made up fertility god that used the hippo, lion, and crocodile combined together as a protector of women and children hundreds of years before Tut come along.

but yeah there was a lot of Hippo's in the Nile.
