What pharaoh proceeded King Tutankhamun?

Tutankhamun was the son of Akhenaten, but was not the immediate succesor of Akhenaten. After Akhenaten died a pharaoh named Smenkhkare, who is believed to have been a younger brother of Akhenaten, may have been a co-regent of Akhenaten and ruled for a few years after his death. There is a second pharaoh who ruled between Akhenaten and Tutankhamun; Neferneferuaten, a female pharaoh whose identity is unknown. There are several theories to who she may have been; she may have been the wife and co-regent of Smenkhkare, or the daughter of Akhenaten and his wife Nefertiti, or even Nefertiti herself. So the line of succession went from Akhenaten, Smenkhkare (?), Neferneferuaten (?) then Tutankhamun.


How many Pharaohs are there in the Bible?

At the very least, there are 6 distinct Pharaohs in the Bible, but there are several psalms and phrases which could refer to other different unnamed Pharaohs. The first Pharaoh is the one that meets Abraham and Sarah in Genesis ch. 12 and has no name. The second Pharaoh is the one that speaks with Joseph while the latter reveals Pharaoh's dream in Genesis ch. 41; this Pharaoh is also nameless. The third Pharaoh is the famous one from the Exodus in Exodus. ch. 10, that Moses confronts to allow the Jews to escape enslavement. The fourth Pharaoh is mentioned in 1 Kings ch. 3 as the father of one of King Solomon's wives. The fifth Pharaoh is explicitly named as Pharaoh Neco and is a Pharaoh to which the Kingdom of Judah became a tributary vassal according to 2 Kings ch. 23. Jeremiah refers to a Pharaoh Hophra in Jeremiah ch. 44.


Why was Tutankhamun so famous?

He is actually one of the lesser Pharaohs of Egypt. He is probably most famous today for having the most intact tomb that has been discovered so far. He is also popular because he became Pharaoh when he was 9, but died very young at the age of 19; a sad story that has captured the public's imagination. Hollywood has come up with all sorts of fantastic stories about him, including saying his tomb was cursed and that he was murdered.


Why did pharaohs like King Tutankhamun not have a pyramid?

Tutankhamun did not have a pyramid for a couple of reasons. Mainly as, by the 18th dynasty, pyramids were unpopular, similar to a giant gravestone telling graverobbers where all the treasure was hidden. The other reason is that Tutankhamun died extremely suddenly and so his burial was extremely rushed, having a pyramid would have made that a lot worse. As it is, Tutankhamun's tomb has shown much less quality than necessary for a pharaoh.

Who were famous leaders in Egypt?

The leaders of Ancient Egypt were the pharaohs. They looked up to the gods but they were the rulers. They most famous were Hatshepsut who encouraged tade instead of waging war. Thutose III who actually was the opposite. He loved war and encouraged it. Probably the most famous Egyptian pharaoh, Ramses II, who built great monuments for himself and just did alot of good things. After his death the Egyptian culture and civilization declined. Of course, the whole Cleopatra story comes into place, as she was one of the last pharaohs before Egypts downfall. This is when their neighbors, the Nubians, decide to help their old friends the Egyptians.
