Was King Tutankhamun parents brother and sister?
Yes they were king tut may have died because his parents blood lines crossed to close.----------His parents were brother and sister. His father was Akhenaten, and his mother is known simply as "The Younger Lady". Akhenaten has at least 5 known consorts with whom he produced children. Tutankhamun was married to his half sister. This was a fairly common practice. When your wife has to physically be a goddess, it makes for a rather... shallow... gene pool.
How manny children did King Tutankhamun have?
Family relationships for that time period are very complicated and unclear, but if you go with the common theory that Tutankhamun was a son of Akhenaten, then yes, he did have siblings. Akhenaten had several daughters and these daughters may have been full or half sisters to Tutankhamun.Tutankhamun also married a woman who was probably his half-sister, Ankhesenamun, a daughter of Akhenaten.The children of Akhenaten (that we know of for sure), include: Meritaten, Meketaten, Ankhesenamun (originally named Ankhesenpaaten), Neferneferuaten Tasherit, Neferneferure, and Setepenre. These were all daughters.Possible children of Akhenaten include: Smenkhare, Ankhesenpaaten Tasherit, and Tutankhamun himself.Other theories about Tutankhamun's parentage suggest that he may have been a son of Amenhotep III, which would make him a brother to Akhenaten.Yet another theory suggest that Tut was the son of Smenkhare. Given that scholars cannot agree on who Smehnkhare was, who his parentage was, or whether he had children (or even, in some cases if he was a *he*), it is nearly impossible to postulate whether Tut had siblings if he was a son of Smenkhare.

Is Aten common god?
Aten was not a common god in ancient Egyptian religion but rather a unique representation of the sun disk. He became prominent during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten in the 14th century BCE, when Akhenaten established a monotheistic worship centered on Aten, departing from traditional polytheistic practices. After Akhenaten's reign, the worship of Aten declined, and the traditional pantheon of Egyptian gods was restored. Thus, while Aten was significant during a specific period, he was not widely worshipped outside of that context.

Who was Tutmosis?
There were four Pharaohs named Tuthmosis, which means "Born of the God Thoth" (also written as Thutmosis or Thutmose). The first to bear the name was, obviously, Tuthmosis I. He was the third pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty, also known as Egypt's Golden Dynasty. He ruled from 1506 - 1493BC and his children were Hatshepsut, daughter of the queen and Tuthmosis II, son of a minor wife. Tuthmosis II was only the son of a minor wife and so his father ruled that he should marry his half-sister Hatshepsut to strengthen his claim to the throne (common practice in ancient Egypt). He ruled from 1493 - 1479BC. Tuthmosis II had a son, Tuthmosis III, to Isis, a minor queen. When his father, Tuthmosis II died, Tuthmosis III assumed the role of co-regent, with Hatshepsut as Pharaoh (the only female Pharaoh there was). As, like his father, Tuthmosis III was only the son of a minor wife, he too married his half-sister, Neferure, to secure his claim to the throne. Hatshepsut died in 1458BC, leaving Tuthmosis III to rule alone. He ruled until 1425BC when he was succeeded by his son, Amenhotep II Amenhotep in turn had a son, Tuthmosis IV, who ruled from ca 1401 - 1391BC. He was succeeded by his son Amenhotep III

Oringanal name for King Tutankhamun?
"Tut" is an abbreviated form of Tutankhamun (pronounced 'toot-un-common'). However Tut had several names. His original name, before he took the throne was Tutankhaten which meant "Living image of the Aten". when he became Pharaoh he was given the name Tutankhamun which means "Living image of Amun." The pharaoh before "Tut" was named Akhenaten and changed some things in the Egyptian religon. He thought that Aten was the main god and wanted eveyone to worship Aten. For this change that challenged many Egyptains' beliefs and costums, Akhenaten was hated and shunned by the people. When Tut took the throne the change of his name meant that the old ways (and ways that were believed to be right) of having Amun as a god came back into view.

Did King Tutankhamun have any ancestors and who?
Every person who ever lived had ancestors. In many cases we don't know who they were, and we never know the names of all ancestors of any particular person. In the case of King Tut - his real name was Tutankhamun - he was an Egyptian Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty (ruled 1333 BC -- 1324 BC in the conventional chronology), during the period of Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom Tutankhamun's parentage is uncertain. An inscription calls him a king's son, but it is not clear which king was meant. He was originally thought to be a son of Amenhotep III and his Great Royal Wife Queen Tiye. Later research claimed that he may have been a son of Amenhotep III, although not by Queen Tiye, since Tiye would have been more than fifty years old at the time of Tutankhamun's birth. At present, the most common hypothesis holds that Tutankhamun was the son of Akhenaten, also known as Amenhotep IV, and his minor wife Queen Kiya.

Who was the heretic pharaoh?
The name if the Heretic Pharaoh was Pharaoh Amenhotep IV more commonly known as Akhenaten when he changed his name. Akhenaten means “beloved of Aten”. The Amenhotep Dynasty had long since worshiped the sun Gods as the chief and supreme of the Gods from whom the Pharaohs were believed to be descendent form and that they themselves acted as the sun God in human form as a matter of divine right. Amenhotep the IV took this a step further and decided to make the literally sun disk the ONLY God the people could worship. He called this Sun disk Aten, he rejected the previous sun god of Atum, Ra and Among Ra and had their temples and Priesthoods shut down and confiscated, and then abandoned Thebes, the previous Capital and built a new one he called Tell el-Amara meaning “Horizon of the sun disk.However, contradictory to popular belief his religion was NOT a monotheist religion it was an Atheist one. According to Atenism, only the Royal family was allowed to worship Aten, because they were his descendants and thus only ones who could speak to him. As such he closed down all the temples of the previous Gods and dissolved their priesthoods: Priests were no longer seen as speakers for the Gods, common people could no longer go to the temple to pray to the Gods or bring the Gods gifts and even the household shrines and relics of the common people were forbidden. The only way the common people could worship Aten, was to worship Akhenaten and his wife Queen Nefertiti and their children. Even the concept of the Afterlife among the divine was changed to show the deceased worshipping Akenaten and Nefertiti in the Afterlife. Naturally, these policies were very unpopular among the common people who continued to worship in secret and they disliked being forced into this new religion, nor did they like this “disk in the sky” as a God.Following Akhenaten’s death, his wife Nefertiti and his brother who both ruled for a short time, attempted to keep these policies alive, but it was for not when Akhenaten’s son Tutankhaten and his wife Ankhesenaten, took the throne and, under pressure from the Priests restored the old faith and reopened the temples, returned to thieves and solidified the break by changing their names to Tutankhamun and Ankhesenamun, respectively.After which Akhenaten was branded as the heretic King and great care was taken to remove any evidence of is rule.
