King Tutankhamen-served as king of Egypt from about 1347 BC until his death in 1339 BC. His reign was unimportant, but interest in Tut began in 1922 when the British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered his tomb.The tomb had not been opened since ancient times and still contained most of it's treasures.
