INTRODUCTION

Tutankhamun, or better known as King Tut, was a pharaoh who accomplishedlittle in his life. He did not expand Egypts borders nor enjoy triumphantvictories like the many pharaohs before him; however, he is the most recognizedand probably the most famous pharaoh today. But why is he so famous? Thisanswer can be attributed to the discovery of his tomb and his elaborate treasure.

King Tuts tomb was a major discovery of the 19th century. It wasdiscovered November 4, 1922 in the Valley of the Kings by Howard Carter.It was a phenomenal discovery that made headlines across the world. Up untilthe discovery of King Tuts tomb, it was believed that all royal tombs had beenrobbed and drained of their treasure.

King Nebkheperura Tutankhamun (King Tut for short) is probably the

most famous of all the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, yet he was a short livedand fairly insignificant ruler during a transitional period in history. Littlewas known of Tutankhamun prior to Howard Carters methodical detectivework, but the discovery of his tomb and the amazing contents it held ultimately

ensured this boy king of the Immortality he sought. It is believed thatAkhenaten and a lesser wife named Kiya were the parents of Tutankhaten, asTutankhamun was known at first. Soon after the deaths of Akhenaten andSmenkhkare, Tutankhaten became a Boy King at the age of about nine. He

married a slightly older Ankhesenpaaten, one of the daughters of Akhenatenand Nefertiti. After the ousting of the Aten power base they changed theirnames to Tutankhamun and Ankhesenamun to reflect the return to favour ofthe Amun hierarchy. Due to his young age, Tutankhamun would not have been

responsible for the real decision making.
