As in my research (Eye of the Pharaoh/The Flawed Emerald), new "evidence" supports the idea that Tut did wage war on the battlefield, if not dying from one outcome of a battle against the Hittites.

1. Nubians
2. Syrians (Djety)
3. Libyans
4. Hittites

Reasons:

The War Chest found in his tomb served 2 purposes:
1. To state he went to war against the enemies of Egypt (9-bows)
and
2. To magically continue the conquest into his afterlife, by drawing it.

Temple walls could tell a similar picture, once found or reconstructed.

His wife, Ankhesnamon, wrote to the Hittite King for one of his sons as a peace treaty would indicate. The Hittite Empire was encroaching upon Egyptian sand after Akhenaton's failed foreign policy. Tut went to war for maintaining its borders and to gain funds for rebuilding Egypt post-Amarna Period.
