King Tutankhamun, a pharaoh in the Eighteenth Dynasty in ancient Egypt, lived from 1341 BCE to 1323 BCE. Tutankhamun became king at the age of nine upon the death of his father Akhenaten. Akhenaten's abolition of Egypt's polytheistic religion and his focus upon one god, the sun god Aten, drastically changed Egypt's religious traditions.
