Aye’s first wife, Tey, became the queen causing Ankhesenamun to run away and live out the rest of her life as a civilian. Aye was only the pharaoh for four years before he died. (He was like 70.) After Aye died, Horemheb became the pharaoh. He thought that Akhenaten, Tutankhamen, and Aye did not deserve to be a part of Egyptian history and had their names erased and his put in their place. This is why it is so hard to make a good inference about King Tut’s death

father because of the change that he made in the Egyptian religion, and the nine year old pharaoh was left to deal with them. He succeeded in his phenomenal accomplishment with help from his two very powerful advisors, Ay and Horemheb. Ay bore the title of Vizier, while Horemheb was Egypt’s top military commander at the

Tutankhamun the pharaoh boy king It is ironic that the Egyptian king who is most famous today was a little known and unimportant pharaoh in his own time. He had no real power, his impact on Egyptian history was trivial, and the modest works carried out during his short reign were taken and renamed by his successors. We know that he lived his early life in the city of Akhetaten. It is possible that he was the son of Lady Kiya, who is thought to be a Mitannian princes and a wife of Akhenaten

History - Ancient Egypt is situated in north-east Africa, mostly where modern Egypt is today. The River Nile runs through the entire country, it is ancient Egypt’s main sustenance. Ancient Egypt lasted from 3100 to 30 BC; this is usually separated into three different parts - Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom and New Kingdom. The Old Kingdom existed from 2686 BC to 2181 BC. During this time the pyramids at Giza were built and there were many struggles as Egypt didn’t have a strong and powerful ruler. The

King Tutankhamun (1343-1325 B.C.) 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

Tutankhamun was born a prince in Egypt's royal court around the year 1341 BC. His father was the Pharaoh Akhenaten. Tutankhamun's birth name was Tutankhaten, which he changed after his father died. Tutankhamun was born to one of his father's lesser wives and not to his main wife, the powerful Nefertiti. His presence may have caused some strain in the royal courts as Nefertiti had only daughters, but desperately wanted to have a son of her own to take over the throne. At the young age of seven years

how they were believed to be “activated by spells, so that the characters in the wall paintings would come to life to serve the deceased in the afterlife. On page 477, it states that “Wall paintings from tombs of King Horemheb were in the valley of the Kings. In the center, Horemheb faces the goddess Hathor, protectress of western

People of Ancient Egypt gave praise and showed their respects to the gods through prayer, and kings- through local priests- said hymns to the gods. Hymns were public, carved into temples or put on papyrus in order to entice gods and goddesses to come down to the temple because without him/her, the prayer was useless. Prayers are more private, and they are said in order to get something from the god/goddess. This distinction, as well as seeing how Ancient Egyptians see Thoth, is shown in the “Hymn

Tutankhamun was the twelfth king of the 18th Egyptian dynasty. His reign can be seen as a period of religious transition to the extent of that he reverted back to the traditional Egyptian religion after his predecessor’s radical revolution and laid the foundations for future rulers. However, it has been observed that many of the actions that were made during his reign were not made by him, instead by his advisors. Tutankhamun’s reign can be seen as a period of religious transition but only to a
