The Egyptian Pharaoh, Tutankhamun, ruled from approximately 1334-1325 BC. He was the 12th pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty.
Egypt was being taken over by the Greek- Romans by this time.
Aye the grandfather of King Tut
No, because he died when he was 18. A new dynasty must have took over when he died.
King Tutankhamun was succeeded by the Pharaoh Ay.Ay was not of royal birth; rather, he was Tutankhamun's Vizier, the foremost assistant to the Pharaoh. When Tutankhamun died he left no heir, creating some uncertainty over who should take his seat. Ay took advantage of the confusion by marrying Tutankhamun's widow and claiming the throne.However, Ay was already elderly when he ascended to the throne. He died after only four years of rule.
King Tutankhamun was a king when he was a boy because when his father, Akhenaten died, he was the eldest son and therefore had to take over even though he was nine.
The pharaohs were very powerful in Ancient Egypt. Tutankhamun, Ramses, Ramses II and many others were very powerful and dominant pharaohs. Although Tutankhamun was only 19 when he died, after being placed on the throne at age 9, he was a very good ruler.
King Tut, or Tutankhamun, was the youngest pharaoh to rule Egypt. He was a boy king, living only to 11 years of age. His body was discovered in the 1920s, and was exhibited all over the world as a curiosity.
