Tutankhamun was only the age of nine when he became king of Egypt during the 18th
dynasty of the New Kingdom (c. 1332–1323 B.C.E.). His story would have been lost to
history if it were not for the discovery of his tomb in 1922 by the archaeologist Howard
Carter in the Valley of the Kings. His nearly intact tomb held a wealth of objects that give
us unique insights into this period of ancient Egyptian history.
Tutankhamun ruled after the Amarna age, when the pharaoh Akhenaten,
Tutankhamun’s probable father, turned the religious attention of the kingdom to the
worship of the god Aten, the sun disc. Akhenaten moved his capital city to the site of
Akhetaten (also known as Amarna), in Middle Egypt—far from the previous pharaoh’s
capital. After Akhenaten’s death and the rule of a short-lived pharaoh, Smenkhkare,
Tutankhamen shifted the focus of the country’s worship back to the god Amun and
returned the religious center back to Thebes.
Vedio’s (https://linktr.ee/ahmedelngar11)
Tutankhamun married his half-sister, Ankhesenamun, but they did not produce an heir.
This left the line of succession unclear. Tutankhamun died at the young age of eighteen,
leading many scholars to speculate on the manner of his death—chariot accident,
murder by blow to the head, and even a hippopotamus attack! The answer is still
unclear. Tutankhamun’s much-older advisor (and possible step-grandfather), Ay,
married the widowed Ankhesenamun and became pharaoh.During the early twentieth
century, Howard Carter, a British Egyptologist, excavated for many years in the Valley of
the Kings—a royal burial ground located on the west bank of the ancient city of Thebes.
He was running out of money to support his archaeological digs when he asked for
funding for one more season from his financial backer, the fifth Earl of Carnarvon. Lord
Carnarvon granted him one more year—and what a year it was!
At the beginning of November 1922, Carter came upon the first of twelve steps of the
entrance that led to the tomb of Tutankhamun. He quickly recovered the steps and sent
a telegram to Carnarvon in England so they could open the tomb together. Carnarvon
departed for Egypt immediately and on November 26, 1922, they made a hole in the
entrance of the antechamber in order to look in. Carter states:
