Is it true that Julius Caesar said the words Et tu, Brute as he was stabbed in 44 BC?

No. A National Geographic history article states outright that 'Et tu, Brute' is a Renaissance invention, and reference works on the assassination report Caesar's last words as contested, with the Greek 'Kai su, teknon' or silence rather than the Latin phrase.
