King Tut The Boy Pharaoh Tutankhamun, or better known as King Tut, is an 18th dynasty pharaoh who inherited the throne at a young age. His reign was short-lived and upon his death he quickly faded into the sands of Egypt. Once forgotten, King Tut now remains one of Egypt’s grandest icons.
His original name, Tutankhaten, means "Living Image of Aten", while Tutankhamun means "Living Image of Amun".
The 1922 discovery by Howard Carter and George Herbert, of Tutankhamun's nearly intact tomb received worldwide press coverage. It sparked a renewed public interest in ancient Egypt, for which Tutankhamun's burial mask, remains the popular symbol.
The Discovery Of King Tut's Tomb
Tutankhamun’s tomb is located in the Valley of the Kings and is by far the best preserved royal tomb ever discovered. The tomb, which was thought to be left intact, was believed to be robbed twice. Even though this tomb revealed treasure beyond our imagination, it was modestly furnished compared to the pharaohs before and after Tutankhamun's time. M. Davis who was an American business man was the first person to find items that led to the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb. After studying and examining these items, Howard Carter was convinced that King Tut’s tomb lay inside the Valley of the Kings. They were given the concession to dig in 1914 but had to abandon the dig due to World War I. Digging began again on November 1, 1921. Carter quickly ordered to remove the rubble from the 16 steps and saw the royal stamp of Tutankhamun and the necropolis.
