Despite many difficulties, health issues and his young age the Pharaoh cherish his name, and doesn't get dealt with the cons. Nevertheless. after a very short period of time the young pharaoh died mysteriously. There are no surviving records of the circumstances of Tutankhamun's death; it has been the subject of considerable debate and major studies. King Tut’s demise was a big event, even by royal standards.

2. Howard Carter, that is — was the British archaeologist who, in the
Valley Of Kings, in November 1922, discovered Tut’s tomb
after years of futile searching. The cramped, rock-cut tomb was
26 feet underground. There were 5,398 items found in the tomb,
including a solid gold coffin, funerary treasures, face mask,
thrones, archery bows, trumpets, a lotus chalice, food, wine,
sandals, and fresh linen underwear. Howard Carter took 10 years
to catalog the items. It was considered the greatest discovery in
the history of Archeology and the Egypt.

3. Then for the first time in almost 80 years, at 6
p.m. on 5 January 2005, the pharaoh was taken
out from the tomb to probe further with
computed tomography (CT).
It was three nested coffins. On the first opening,
the were shroud adorned with garlands of
willow and olive leaves, wild celery, lotus petals,
and cornflowers, gave evidence that the burial
occurred around March or April.
All of the artifacts exhumed from the
Tutankhamun’s tomb were now kept at the
Egyptian Museum in Cairo; under the Egyptian
government.

4. • Tutankhaten (born in 1341 BC), was an ancient Egyptian
pharaoh who was the last of his royal family to rule during
the end of the 18th dynasty (ruled c. 1334 – 1325 BC)
during the New Kingdom of Egyptian history.
• He was given the nameTutankhaten, meaning "the living
image ofAten." After taking power, the boy king changed
his name toTutankhamun, which means "the living image
of Amun.”
• Tutankhamun took the throne at eight or nine years of age
and he married his half sister Ankhesenamun. He restored
the Ancient Egyptian religion after its dissolution by his
father, enriched and endowed the priestly orders of two
important cults and began restoring old monuments
damaged during the previous Amarna period

5. • Tutankhamun was physically
disabled with a deformity of his
left foot along with bone
necrosis that required the use of
a cane. He had other health
issues including scoliosis and
had contracted several strains
of malaria.
• Since the discovery of his intact
tomb, been referred to
colloquially as "KingTut".

6. Ancient Egypt was a civilization of
ancient North Africa, concentrated
along the lower reaches of the Nile
River, situated in the place that is
now the country Egypt.
The success of ancient Egyptian
civilization came partly from its
ability to adapt to the conditions
of the Nile River valley for
agriculture. The predictable
flooding and controlled irrigation of
the fertile valley produced surplus
crops, which supported a more
dense population, and social
development and culture.

167 cm (5 ft 6 in) tall. He had large front incisors
and an overbite characteristic of theThutmosid
royal line to which he belonged.
• He had a narrow waist and rounded hips.
• Tutankhamun had a partially cleft hard palate
and possibly a mild case of scoliosis.
• His right foot was flat with hypophalangism,
while his left foot was clubbed and suffered
bone necrosis. HenceTutankhamun walked
using of a cane.
• He also suffered from Malaria.
During the rule of his father Akhenaten (1388 – 1351 BC),
that period was considered of the strangest periods in the
history of Ancient Egypt. He promoted the worship of the
Aten, the sun disk, changed his name to Akhenaten, or
‘servant of the Aten,’ and moved the religious capital
from the old city ofThebes to the new city of Akhetaten,
known now as Amarna.
After his father’s mysterious death,Tutankhamun took
the throne at a very young age, during that horrific crisis.
Then after a very short period of time the young pharaoh
died mysteriously.There are no surviving records of the
circumstances ofTutankhamun's death; it has been the
subject of considerable debate and major studies
