Why Is King Tut Important

Have you ever imagined if there was a king that was just five. A long time ago their was a king who was just nine years old. He did a lot of helpful things in egypt that really helped a lot. He did this all when he was just nine years old. King Tut's dad was very evil and did a lot of bad things to Egypt. When King Tut was pharaoh he undid every single thing what his dad try to do. He also was very religious so that is very good thing to be pharaoh in Egypt.

In 2007, exactly 85 years after Howard Carter’s discovery of the tomb, the pharaoh went on display in his tomb at Luxor. The mummy was wrapped in linen and was moved from his golden sarcophagus to a climate controlled box. This special box was designed to prevent decomposition during visiting hours of his tomb. King Tut’s tomb was robbed at least twice but after extensive research and based on the items taken it seems the robberies occurred within a few months of the initial burial- oils and perfumes were the main items taken from the tomb. Because they robbed so soon after the burial they were caught by workers of the Valley before making it from the antechamber to the interior chambers (History.com). With time however, the exact location of the tomb was lost due to being buried by stone chips and rocks from other tombs, as well as huts being buried over top for workers of the

I chose King Tutankhamen because he interests me. He was a very young King that didn’t do much at all. He was also deformed from what we saw of him. However, I can’t imagine being a king at the age he was. Nobody looted his tomb because he was literally a nobody. The way he died was probably accidental as well.

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

On November 4, 1922 Howard Carter discovered King Tutankhamun's tomb in Egypt. Howard Carter spent almost his whole life looking for King Tut’s tomb and when he found it he was over the moon. King Tut’s tomb was very important, it helped us learn more about earlier civilizations, and showed us what king tut's reign was like while he was king.

The history of Tomb of Unknown Soldier begins in modern times in 1920. A Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was erected while burying an unknown soldier who had fallen, unidentified, during the First World War. The soldier was buried to commemorate all of the

Ankhesenamun had sent a letter to the Hittites king about sending her a prince for her to marry but someone killed him. A normal person could not of killed him because the prince was send with a large group of people so only a whole army could kill him and Horemheb was in charge of the army. Horemheb might not of wanted a Hittites prince to rule Egypt because the Hittites were Egypt’s enemies. Also if Horemheb had a plan, sending a letter to the Hittites King might not of been part of it his plan so he had to kill the Hittites prince. That is one reason why Horemheb might of killed King Tut.

The discovery of the young King Tutankhamun’s tomb provided some insight on his life as a pharaoh. Tut’s tomb has been the only tomb that has been relatively untouched by tomb raiders, giving egyptologists so much more information than any other tomb in the Valley of Kings (Caselli 12-14). Egyptologist

Tutankhamun’s tomb is the only royal tomb in Egypt to have escaped the discovery of looters and was discovered by archeologist Howard Carter. The death of Tutankhamun was a sudden tragedy that til this day has yet to be solved. The cause of the famous teenage king’s death has been a long drawn out mystery with a range of theories as to how he met his end. There are no historical records explaining the cause or circumstances of his death, nor is there no positive evidence to suggest how he died. However, there are several theories and many of which have changed over the years.

King Tut was killed in an accident so Ankhesnamun wrote a letter to the Hitike king asking for a prince. When King Tut was found he had a blow to the back of the head, a broken leg, and his right rib cage was missing, I got this information from a video called How King Tut Died. The young king died far from home. When the Hitike king sent one of his sons to become king of Egypt he was killed at the border of the country. Now Ankhesnamun married Aye, which

I think Tey was part of killing king tut. One reason i think this is because she wanted king tut gone because she didn’t want to be a servant anymore. One other

Thutmose III, after reaching a certain age, was appointed commander of the armies. He then ruled by Hatshepsut’s side until, Thutmose III got the support of the nobles and with his legitimate claim took over the title of pharaoh and had Hatshepsut step down as acting pharaoh. In the first few months of his accession to the throne, there was a rebellion

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.

He didn’t have many victorious wins of famous battles and such like other pharaohs before him. Well, the reason that he got so famous, was probably from the discovery of his tomb. King Tut was the son of Akhenaten and the grandson of Amenhotep II, both of which were famous pharaoh before him. His name, Tutankhamun, meant “Living Image of Amun”. King Tut was giving the responsibility and the power of a pharaoh when he was just 9 years old, which was a very young age.

Since being one of the most intact monuments of Ancient Egypt, the finding of Tutankhamun's tomb by Howard Carter in 1922 is believed to be the utmost significant archaeological discoveries of the century. The treasures found were stored in the following parts of the tomb the Antechamber Annex, and then the Burial Chamber and Treasury. The Ancient Egyptians believed in the afterlife. The customs and beliefs of the Ancient Egyptians called for the preservation of the body and extensive provisions for the after-life which were buried with them in the tomb. These treasures were seen as a continuation of the life of the Pharaoh before his death. It was therefore seen as essential that the favourite items belonging to King Tut would be buried
