Answer 2

Tut became king because his dad died at a young age and he was in a dynasty and it was his turn.

Answer 3

His father died, so he took over the role as pharoah, when he was only a kid.

Answer 4

His father, most likely the king Akhenaten, and brother, Smenkhkare died. He was heir to the throne. He took over the throne at the age of 9.

Answer 5

He was the next one in line to become king. His father, the king, and his brother died, and since King Tut was the next one in line, they crowned him king.

Answer 6

He was nine years old at the time. Nothing suggests he actually wanted to, since it also meant the death of many close family members (primarily his father).
