TUTANKHAMEN

Tutankhamen, called in life Tutankhaten, was a pharaoh belonging

to the 18th dynasty of Egypt, who reigned from 1336 BC. C. to 1327 a. C.

Tutankhamen was a remarkable pharaoh
in the post-Amarna restora�on and
harmoniza�on Egypt, but due to his short
reign and the usurpa�on of its few monuments
by Pharaohs of the nineteenth dynasty,
was not known in ancient �mes.
He died approximately in 1327 a. C., when he
was only 19 years old and a�er serving
as pharaoh of Egypt for 9 years. The causes of
his death are s�ll uncertain, but it is suspected
that he died of a malaria epidemic that
caused a lot of deaths in Egypt
On November 26, 1922, the expedi�on of
archaeologist Howard Carter, financed by the
aristocrat Lord Carnarvon, made an excep�onal
discovery: the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun,
King of Egypt, between 1332 and 1323 B.C.,
in an incredible state of conserva�on
