Tutankhamun - The Egyptian Pharoah

Tutankhamun - The Egyptian Pharoah

Tutankhamun (1341 BC - 1323 BC) was an Egyptian Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty  (ruled 1333 BC - 1324 BC in the conventional chronology), during the period of Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom. His original name, Tutankhamun means Living Image of Amun.  Often the name Tutankhamun was written Amen-tut-ankh, meaning “living image of Amun”, due to  scribal custom which most often placed the divine name at the beginning of the phrase in order to  honor the divine being. He is possibly also the Nibhurrereya of the Amarna letters. He was likely the  eighteenth dynasty king ‘Rathotis’, who according to Manetho, an ancient historian, had reigned for  nine years - a figure which conforms with Flavius Josephus' version of Manetho’s Epitome. The 1922 discovery by Howard Carter of Tutankhamun’s intact tomb received worldwide press  coverage and sparked a renewed public interest in ancient Egypt, for which Tutankhamun’s  burial mask remains the popular face. The cause of Tutankhamun’s death is unclear, and is  till the root of much speculation.
