Ancient Egypt in Mr. Peabody and Sherman

My main problem with this is that they portrayed the relationship of the queen to her king completely inaccurately. The Egyptians did not kill anyone when the pharaoh died. It is true that servants were once strangled to death and then buried near the king; however, they stopped practicing this in the first dynasty of Kmt. 

Plus, just FYI, he was already married. Egyptian kings, of course, were allowed to have multiple wives. “The same year that Tutankhaten [later changing his name to Tutankhamun, which means “the living image of Amun”] took power, he married Ankhesenamun, his half sister and the daughter of Nefertiti.” (x)

Yeah, I totally agree with you.
The characters in the movie were designed as amazingly cute! The only reason to watch it anyway.
But really, why did they bring up that silly thing about killing the queen after the king’s death? And there was a silly picture of Anubis ripping the heart off the dead body, it was simply gross.

For goodness sake- IT’S A KIDS MOVIE. Why is anyone gonna be killed???

In fact, the death thing was handled there quite easily. No one of the important characters dies, no one gets seriously hurt.
I don’t remember that even during the trojan war scenes, someone gets really killed? But it’s a part about war, so people beat one other and someone gets stunned etc. There are other scenes of death treats. For example in the beginning, there is a part about French Revolution, and mr.Peabody almost gets executed by beheading, but manages to escape.

Well, the 6+ rating for this movie was handled very accurately. Nothing scary there.

On the other hand, back to AE part: mr.Peabody says to that girl that if she marries the king Tut, and he dies before her, she will be killed too, to follow him into afterlife.
And king Tut confirms.
This is quite stupid, and misinformation about AE culture and religion.
