King Tutankhamun did indeed have a father that was a Pharoah ("King"). His father was named Akhenaten, and was most noted for turning ancient Egypt's religon into a monotheism. A monotheism means that only haveing one god. This was very very strange and disliked by the Ancient Egyptians because they were always accustomed to worshiping the many gods of Egypt. Tut's mother was probably Kiya, but researchers are still uncertian about this. Tutankaten was the name that Tut was named before his rule of Egypt. His name meant the "Living Image of Aten". When his father Akhenaten died Tut got to be the ruler. His name was changed to Tutankamen which means "Living Image of Amun, Ruler of Upper Egypt Helipolis"
