Tutankhamun (alternately spelled with Tutenkh-, -amen, -amon; 1341 BC-1323 BC) was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty during the period of Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom. His original name, Tutankhaten, means "Living Image of Aten", while Tutankhamun means "Living Image of Amun".
In hieroglyphs the name Tutankhamun was typically written Amen-tut-ankh, because of a scribal custom that placed a divine name at the beginning of a phrase to show appropriate reverence. He is possibly also the Nibhurrereya of the Amarna letters. He was likely the 18th dynasty king 'Rathotis' who, according to Manetho, an ancient historian, had reigned for nine years - a figure which conforms with Flavius Josephus's version of Manetho's Epitome.
The 1922 discovery by Howard Carter of Tutankhamun's intact tomb received worldwide press coverage. It sparked a renewed public interest in ancient Egypt, for which Tutankhamun's burial mask remains the popular symbol. Exhibits of artifacts from his tomb have toured the world. In February 2010, the results of DNA tests confirmed that Tutankhamun was the son of Akhenaten and his sister/wife , whose name is unknown but whose remains are positively identified as "The Younger Lady" mummy found in KV35.
Significance: Tutankhamun was nine years old when he became pharaoh and reigned for approximately ten years. In historical terms, Tutankhamun's significance stems from his rejection of the radical religious innovations introduced by his predecessor and father, Akhenaten. Secondly, his tomb in the Valley of the Kings was discovered by Carter almost completely intact - the most complete ancient Egyptian royal tomb ever found. As Tutankhamun began his reign at such an early age, his vizier and eventual successor Ay was probably making most of the important political decisions during Tutankhamun's reign.
Tutankhamun was one of the few kings worshiped as a god and honored with a cult-like following in his own lifetime. A stela discovered at Karnak and dedicated to Amun-Re and Tutankhamun indicates that the king could be appealed to in his deified state for forgiveness and to free the petitioner from an ailment caused by wrongdoing. Temples of his cult were built as far away as in Kawa and Faras in Nubia. The title of the sister of the Viceroy of Kush included a reference to the deified king, indicative of the universality of his cult.

I just love learning about him!
love the work here
Thanks, helped a ton with a report I'm doing.
good work here
@KalimaShaktide That, was a serious pwnage. A slap of logic, if I must say so and well executed.
@Shad0wBlah I admire your way of thinking.. It will definitely serve useful when you get older.
Good, good! I was losing sleep over this.
I agree. Im glad this has been explained
Me asombra ver como los arqueologos y los estudiosos del antiguo Egipto han podido descubrir hasta la causa de la muerte del faraon, creo que todo este conocimiento no solo nos ayuda a acercarnos a aquella epoca sino tambien a mostrarnos el desarrollo de la humanidad entera con sus defectos y sus virtudes.
Felicidades a todos aquellos que se han dedicado con amor a estudio de nuestra historia.
They go into so much detail about him having diseases but then don't even mention the hole in the back of his head. WTF kind of autopsy research is that!?!?!?!
If you were rapped up with no organs left and no brain for 3000years I think that someone would begin to rot
King Tut was bored to death by endless youtube videos.
Now when I die;
Now don't think I'm no nut;
Don't want no fancy funeral;
Just one like ole King Tut.
-Steve Martin
I love love king tut!
maybe Osiris just wanted him? or maybe the sun god Aten burned him? or maybe his pet snake bit him? or maybe he DID commit suicide? do we ever get to know how he died? i think not.
I need the information for collage
wow amazing
I'd wish they elaborate, I don't mind wasting half hour learning things not immediately useful in my life. (Anything useful is boring). Insight of a 16 year old.
King tutankhamun had a problem in hes foot cos when he was fighting they cutted hes leg so , then he was walking some where with the houses and he fell and died. Or he died of a gangrene.
If his leg was cut off, why is it still attached to the rest of his body?
@rzq100 like people say 30 is the new 20 now, 10 was the new 20 back then even though he was past 10.
Interesting
