✨ KING TUTANKHAMUN✨
King Tutankhamun was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty (ruled ca. 1332–1323 BC in the conventional chronology), during the period of Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom .
He is colloquially referred to as King Tut . His original name, Tutankhaten, means "Living Image of Aten", whil
e 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. [4] He is possibly also the Nibhurrereya of the Amarna letters , and likely the 18th dynasty king Rathotis who, according to Manetho , an ancient historian, had reigned for nine years—a figure that conforms with Flavius Josephus 's version of Manetho's Epitome.
The 1922 discovery by Howard Carter and George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon of Tutankhamun's nearly intact tomb received worldwide press coverage. It sparked a renewed public interest in ancient Egypt, for which Tutankhamun's burial mask, now in Cairo Museum, remains the popular symbol. Exhibits of artifacts from his tomb have toured the world. In February 2010, the results of DNA tests confirmed that he was the son of Akhenaten (mummy KV55) and Akhenaten's sister and wife (mummy KV35YL), whose name is unknown but whose remains are positively identified as "The Younger Lady " mummy found in KV35 . The mysterious deaths of those who excavated Tutankhamun's tomb was termed as Curse of the pharaohs .

✨ Life✨
Tutankhamun was the son of
Akhenaten (formerly Amenhotep IV) and one of Akhenaten's sisters, or perhaps one of his cousins. A a prince he was known as Tutankhaten.
He ascended to the throne in 1333 BC, at the age of nine or ten, taking the throne name Nebkheperure. His wet-nurse was a woman called Maia , known from her tomb at Saqqara . A teacher was most likely Sennedjem.
When he became king, he married his half-sister, Ankhesenpaaten, who later changed her name to Ankhesenamun. They had two daughters, both stillborn. Computed tomography studies released in 2011 revealed that one daughter died at 5–6 months of pregnancy and the other at 9 months of pregnancy. No evidence was found in either mummy of congenital anomalies or an apparent cause of death.
