Why Were You Granted King Tutankhamun?

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.

King Tut became an king after his fathers death, he was believed to be between eight and ten years old. His father had changed the practices of religion, this angered Egyptians and priests. King Tut decided to get things back to the way they were, and he even relocated his kingdom to Memphis and Thebes. Most decisions were probably made by Ay, his most trusted adviser,

In 1922 Tutankhamun’s tomb (KV62) was excavated in the Valley of the Kings by the archaeologist Howard Carter. Despite having been looted years before the archaeological dig, Carter was delighted to discover that the tomb was nearly intact with a plethora of objects that could be used to comprehend Ancient Egypt and its people . Amongst the many riches found, located passed the antechamber - within the burial chamber, Carter and his team found a three-layered shrine under which lay three anthropoid coffins . The final, innermost, coffin was made of solid gold with the king’s arms crossed like the first two coffins in the Osirian manner, its dimensions were 51 cm by 187.5 cm by 51.3 cm (height, length, and width respectively) . When weighed

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

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).

King Tutankhamen also known as King Tut was born in 1341 BC and died in 1323 BC. Akhenaten(King Tut’s father) birthday is unknown, but he died in 1335 BC. King Tut is known most for his tomb. “The most fascinating item found in King Tut’s tomb was the stone sarcophagus containing three coffins, one inside the other, with a final coffin made of gold. When the lid of the third coffin was raised, King Tut's royal mummy was revealed, preserved for more than 3,000 years. As archaeologists examined the mummy, they found other artifacts, including bracelets, rings and collars.” The tomb was discovered by Howard Carter in 1922. When Carter discovered it, it was untouched. Most of what we know about Egyptian history came from the tomb. Akhenaten and King Tut were both pharaohs, but had two different styles of ruling. Akhenaten made radical changes. These radical changes led to “his characterisation as the first individual in history”. King Tut was the complete opposite. This paper will prove that Tutankhamen took the necessary steps to legitimize his rule after the chaotic rule of his father.

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 Pharaoh was born under the name Tutankhaten (`living image of Aten'), in 1345 BCE and died in 1327 BCE at the age of just 18 or 19, after only being in power for 10 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 Pharaoh who returned order to Ancient Egypt after it was left in chaos by the political-religious reforms of his Father, Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten), and who would no doubt have made further impressive contributions to Egypt's history if not for his early death.

      King Tut was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty who reigned from about 1348 to 1339 BC. His name can be spelled a variety of ways including Tutankhamen, Tutankhamon, or Tutankhamun. There is an enigma, though, surrounding his name. Researchers have no idea where it came from because his parents are unknown. He became king during the period of readjustment that followed the death

The discovery of Tutankhamun’s Tomb by Howard Carter in 1922 revealed an astonishing quantity of contents that had not been touched in over 3000 years. The contents of which Tutankhamun’s tomb concealed, such as wall paintings, golden statues, Royal Regalia, Pharaonic sculptures, and numerous other archaeological evidence, provides information that depicts Ancient Egypt and specifically, the role of a New Kingdom Pharaoh, and thus, is imperative for archeologists and Egyptologists working to explain Ancient Egypt. Throughout Ancient Egypt, the role of a New Kingdom Pharaoh was extensive, as the Pharaoh was charged with providing and protecting his people. The Pharaonic duties evident throughout the New Kingdom dynasty (18th dynasty of Egypt)

King Tutankhamen is among the most famous of Egypt’s kings. His story is well known, despite the fact he came to power while young and died within a decade.

The ancient Egyptians were a civilization who were consumed with the idea of life and bringing life to death. The most notable illustration of this is idea of life in death is King Tutankhamun’s Death Mask. The mask itself presents an image of the youthful pharaoh along with its celebration of death in Egyptians culture. This mask represents the point of artistic and technological achievement in Egypt in the New Kingdom. It also shows use of symbolism and iconography of Egyptian high complex culture and religion. In addition, the mask was used to protect and aid his journey to the afterlife. It accomplished this beautiful representation of life and death by its style of elegance.

King Tut was born during the Golden Age in Egypt. He was thought to be originally named Tutankhaten which means “living image of the Aten.” It is also believed that he is the

After the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922, scholars determined that although the cause of death is still unknown, he died when he was only 19 years old. Why did he die at such a young age? From that moment there have been many studies focusing on explaining his death. One hypothesis is that Aye could be accountable for Tutankamun’s death on the basis of jealousness, need for power and forcing his way into the throne.

For instance, the first dated appearance of the title pharaoh being attached to a ruler's name occurs in Year 17 of Siamun on a fragment from the Karnak Priestly Annals. Here, an induction of an individual to the Amun priesthood is dated specifically to the reign of Pharaoh Siamun.[8] This new practice was continued under his successor Psusennes II and the twenty-second dynasty kings. For instance, the Large Dakhla stela is specifically dated to Year 5 of king "Pharaoh Shoshenk, beloved of Amun", whom all Egyptologists concur was Shoshenq I—the founder of the Twenty-second dynasty—including Alan Gardiner in his original 1933 publication of this stela.[9] Shoshenq I was the second successor of Siamun. Meanwhile, the old custom of referring to

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.
