King TutankhamunTutankhamun (alternately spelled with Tutenkh-, -amen, -amon), Egyptian twt-?n?-??mn; *tuwt-?ankh-yam?n (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, Tutankhaten, means "Living Image of Aten", while Tutankhamun means "Living Image of Amun". Often the name Tutankhamun was written Amen-tut-ankh, meaning "Amen living image of ankh", due to scribal custom which most often placed the divine name at the beginning of the phrase in order to honor the divine being. [2] 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 exactly with Flavius Josephus' version of Manetho's Epitome.[3] Tutankhamun, was not a particularly notable pharaoh in ancient times; the size of his relatively small, forgettable tomb was part of the reason the tomb was not discovered or opened until modern times. The 1922 discovery by Howard Carter of Tutankhamun's intact tomb, KV62, received worldwide press coverage and sparked a renewed public interest in ancient Egypt, for which Tutankhamun's burial mask remains the popular face. Tutankhamun is, in modern times, one of the most famous of the pharaohs, and the only one to have a nickname in popular culture (King Tut).more info
