Tutankhamun

The pharaoh was undoubtedly the most important terrestrial figure in ancient Egypt and played a significant role in the functioning of Egyptian society. Entrusted with governing the realm of Egypt and providing a link between the Egyptian people and the gods, pharaohs were “an essential element in the maintenance of the position of society in the order of creation”. This idea has been substantiated through the various artefacts located in tombs in the Valley of the Kings, particularly that of Tutankhamun. These finds have shed light on the role and lifestyle of the pharaoh in ancient Egypt. Through the discovery and analysis of these items, historians and archaeologists alike have been able to glean considerable amounts of information in

Tutankhamun is one of the most famous and instantly recognisable Pharaohs of the modern world even though he lived and reigned over 3,000 years ago. The boy King was born in the 11th year of his father’s reign in 1345 BCE and died in 1327 BCE at the age of just 17 or 18 after only being in power for 8 years. Until archaeologist Howard Carter discovered his almost fully-intact tomb in the Valley of the Kings in 1922 CE, the pharaoh was almost unheard of due to the common belief that he was a minor ruler, whose reign was of little consequence. However after this discovery and subsequent discoveries due to excavations, analysis of his mummy and other historical evidence, opinions changed, so much so that today Tutankhamun is recognized as an important

an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty (ruled c.1333 BC – 1323 BC in the conventional chronology), during the period of Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom. His original name, Tutankhaten, means "Living Image of Aten",

Tutankhamun was originally given the name Tutankhaten or the living image of Aten the sun god. He became engaged to the fourth daughter of Nefertiti and Akhenaten, Ankhesenpaaten his half sister (Mark). Historians believe that Kiya, a wife of Akhenaten, was King Tut’s mother who died in childbirth (Caselli 19). Genetic tests have proven that King Tut was indeed the grandson Amenhotep II and almost certainly the son of Akhenaten (History.com). Once Akhenaten died, Egypt was in a state of confusion in which a king by the name of Ankhkheprure Smenkhkaredjerkhepru. Many believe that this was Queen Nefertiti who came into power to continue her husband’s “revolution” (Caselli 20). Akhenaten made reforms to the religious system making it so all of Egypt would worship a single deity, Aten, the sun god. These changes were very controversial (History.com). Pharaohs were kept a distance away from their subjects and spent most of their time with their close circle of friends and advisers (Caselli 21). Two of his most powerful advisers were Ay and Horemheb (History.com). When King Tut became pharaoh sometime around 1333 BCE, he would undo everything that his father did (Caselli 20). He would revive the practices of worshipping Amun and he would restore Thebes as the religious capital. Tut would work with his two advisers to restore Egypt’s stature in the region as well

He was the 18th Dynasty of Egypt and ruled for over 17 years. He had 9 kids including Smenkhkare, Meritaten, Meketaten, Ankhesenamun, Neferneferuaten Tasherit, Neferneferure, Setepenre, Ankhesenpaaten-ta-sherit and the most famous one Tutankhamun.

In Ancient Egypt, there was no way to investigate a murder. Even if there was, most records of King Tut have been erased! Archeologists have been making educated guesses about King Tutankhamun’s death since the 1920’s. One theory is that he was murdered by Aye, his power-hungry chief advisor. This is because King Tut’s mummy was very badly injured.

His rule was notable for reversing the tumultuous religious reforms of his father, Pharaoh Akhenaten. Tutankhamun left from the Earth to the Moon, his body was transferred with the help of Black Magic. The Devil made of him a stone statue, which he kept until the Day of Judgment, which will begin on Earth after my arrival. And if I do not talk to Tutankhamun at the trial, it means that it will not be possible to understand what happened to people not understanding what is the Black Magic, which was only available to him then on Earth when he was there. He could talk to the Universe and then communicate with people, as people used to believe in the past. He was a powerful magician and no equal. In the houses of people, he was a lord, healer, and fortuneteller. To stop it and for today is not possible, a statue of Tutankhamun speaking, which is to the Moon. There, on the Moon, his tomb is torn in which he will rest in eternity, except his one there on the Moon is no one else. My Black Magic he will now be kept for me there on the Moon and come out to me for contact when I call him to fulfill my

The greatest pharaoh of all ancient Egypt is Hatshepsut. Hatshepsut was born in 1508 BC and died in 1458 BC. She became pharaoh in 1478 BC and ruled until 1458 BC and was a leader of the 18th dynasty. Hatshepsut was married to her half brother Thutmose II. She originally became regent, then soon asserted herself pharaoh (Ducksters: Ancient egypt). Soon after becoming pharaoh Hatshepsut began dressing as a king. The powerful woman proves herself worthy of such a position by leading troops into battle and creating large monuments to honor Egyptian gods. “Hatshepsut lead Egypt in a time of prosper and wealth. Hatshepsut also brought back many Egyptian traditions that pharaohs before her seemed to forget about.” (khan academy: egyptian pharaohs)

He was called ‘Tutankhamun’ (meaning “Living image of the Aten”). He then changed his name to ‘Tutankhamun Heqaiunushema’ ("Living Image of Amun, ruler of Heliopolis of Upper Egypt"). His name was written as "Amen-tut-ankh" because of the tradition of honorific transposition (where the name of a god is written first out of respect).

When you were nine years old, were you granted king of Egypt? I didn't think so. King Tutankhamun was a nine year old Egyptian ruler that died at very young age. While ruling he changed the worshiped gog from Aten to Amun. That is why he changed his name from Tutankhaten to Tutankhamun because the first one means "Living image of Aten" and the second one means "Living image of

King Tutankhamun lived over 3,300 years ago during a period known as the New Kingdom. This period of time was called the New Kingdom because it was when the pharaohs united upper and lower Egypt into one kingdom with the capital being Memphis near current day Cairo. The reason I chose to write a research paper on King Tut is because he is one of the most well known pharaohs of ancient Egypt. Tutankhamun is most well known only by the discovery of his intact tomb in 1922 by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon.

King Tutankhamun was an Egyptian pharaoh that had an early death. He was born circa 1341 B.C.E. and was the 12th pharaoh of the 18th dynasty (King Tut Biography). His main impact on Egypt was restoring the main polytheistic religion of Ancient Egypt (King Tut Biography). His father, Akhenaten, whose name translates to he who works for Aten, wanted Egypt to become monotheistic (King Tut Biography). He wanted all of Egypt to only worship Aten, instead of the pantheon of gods they had previously worshipped (King Tut Biography). Egyptian society went into chaos and Akhenaton was probably forced to abdicate the throne. (King Tut Biography). When Tutankhamun was born, he was originally called Tutankhaten, meaning living image of Aten, but he eventually changed his name to Tutankhamun, meaning the living image of Amun (Meaning of Akhenaten and King Tut Biography). Converting Egypt to polytheism was the main impact of King Tutankhamen in Egypt.
