King Tutankhamen
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. It is the only tomb of an ancient Egyptian king to be discovered almost completely undamaged. Tut became king about the age of nine. He probably recieved assistance from Ay, his minister of state. Archaeologists are still unsure who his relatives were. Tut's original name was Tutankhanton, meaning "the living image of Aton" or "the life of Aton is pleasing". Akhenaton was ruler of Egypt before Tut and tried to make the people of Egypt worship Amon the chief sun god instead of other traditional gods. When Tut began as ruler, he restored Egypt's old religion. Archaeologists and some historians believe that Tut died at about the age of eighteen, but are unsure of the cause of his death.
This chip was certainly broken off after death, probably during mummification. Well, the rumor seems to have been true. There seems to be a fracture in the back of the skull. The Murder Of Tutankhamen - by Bob BrierBook Review, c Copyright 1999, Jim Loy Years ago, I had heard that Tutankhamen (teenage king of Egypt) had been murdered, with a blow to the back of the head. A Hittite prince was sent, and was murdered, causing a war. amen, whose birth name, was Tutankhaten, was probably the son of the heretic Pharaoh Amenophis IV (Akhneten) and his queen, Kiya. His birth name was Tutankhaton but was changed to Tutankhamen when the old religion was brought back, and Amon was worshipped as the most important god. At a very early age he married his half-sister Ankhesenamun, the daughter of Amenophis IV and Queen Nefertiti. And, the various encyclopedias, and books in libraries, never mentioned it. Peace was brought to Egypt during his reign as the worship of Amon, abandoned under Ikhnaton, was restored and Thebes, the city sacred to Amon, was again made Egypt's capital. ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**Internet Yahoo!Altavista. Tutankhamen was probably related to Akhenaton. And then she disappeared from history. Tutankhamen Tutankhamen (a name which means "the living image of Amen") took the throne in 1333 BC, assuming the praenomen of Nebkhepure. He became pharoah at about the age of 9 and ruled until his death at about the age of 18.
